Kia. Rio X-Line. On the covenants of Steve Jobs
Asians love to let dust in the eyes. Here and Kia Rio X-Line shows all his appearance that he is almost a crossover. Well, then why the ground clearance increased by just a centimeter? And where, if not a four-wheel drive, then at least a way off-road driving button? I received answers to these questions, even before I got behind the steering wheel of a new hatchback, and having passed on it, why this "non-show" will be in demand

/ 10.11.2017Kia Rio X-Line. On the covenants of Steve JobsKia Rio X-Line. Price: from 774 900 rubles. On sale: November 2017
"We do not position the X-Line as off-road model"- The head of Kia Motor Rus, Alexander Moines, sorrified me.
Here are on! And then, then there was generally the whole garden with kites, railings and refinement of the suspension, killing a lot of time (only when running the chassis and search for optimal settings, the testes had to drive about a million kilometers). Was it easier to launch the usual Rio-Hetchback to the market, as it was with the model of the past generation?
But Mr. Moisnova has an answer to this question: "Russia is a country of sedans. In our sales, Hatchback Rio occupied only 20%. We decided to think about how to increase this share, and the idea with X-Line was born. "
Allow, but isn't the same model, only called K2 Cross debuted in China still in spring?
"It was not we borrowed a model from the Chinese, and they, having learned about our project, wanted to bring the same hatchback to our market," the head of Nikolai Merenkov was stuck for his brainchild. "Just the Chinese market is more important, and the local plant is a" donor "of many components for russian factorywhere Rio is doing, so they have a K2 Cross earlier. "
One of the most successful innovations. LED rear lights are only in the maximum configuration
I often heard and read in press releases about the cars "Developed specifically for Russia", which before their launch in our market already chased on the roads of Latin America, India or China. And the fact that the idea of \u200b\u200bRio X-Line was born in our country, makes this model in its kind unique. At least, among foreign cars, such examples did not come across.
Rio X-Line has original bumpers with plastic imitation of steel protection. Compared to the sedan, in the front bumper, the hatchback is differently located LED DRL and fog
"Before starting work on this model, we conducted a survey among Russian customers, and it turned out that they want mutually exclusive things," Nikolai continues. "They need the car to be powerful, with huge road clearance, fully driveAnd at the same time it cost inexpensively. But so it does not happen! Therefore, we did both Steve Jobs - did not offer the market that buyers demanded, and the one that they would like to like. "
A dual socket is not a handicraft chrome nozzle, which can be bought on any collapse. Here it is made of stainless steel and tightly welded to the jar of the muffler
Like, without options! Better results Polls of focus groups confirms that interest that caused the car on the roads. It cost us to stay in a lively place, as people immediately approached and were interested in price. I do not know who they see marketers there by buyers Rio X-Line, but the first to those who are interested in the car were uncle for fifty, who came with Barsets by Nerrevians from the old "Sportykha" with regional numbers. The starting price of 775 thousand was at first embarrassed, but when it turned out that for the "off-road" package, wherees besides linings and rails, the openwork glossy falseradatorium lattice and the "double-roller" nozzle on the silencer should be supplemented with only 30 thousand relative to the price of the usual Rio, They were in their eyes of genuine interest.
Glossy falseradiator grille with chrome-plated border in a circle higher than the sedan
And they would know how excellent Rio X-Line behaves on the road, interest would be even higher! New springs and shock absorbers not only gave an additional centimeter under the bottom (though, there is little off-road from this), but also made it possible to achieve an optimal balance between comfort and handling. Hatch rides softer sedan, but it rulitsya perfectly! I even had a focus on "focus" of the 2nd generation, which for a long time remained for me with a reference for comfort and manageability among inexpensive cars. I am confident that after the test of the hatchback, the owners of Rio sedans will want to put the same suspension. It is not difficult to do this, since all the attachment points and landing dimensions have both models identical. Only do it will have to do with the risk, because, according to engineers, it is not clear how subsequently such a car will behave in emergency situations. After all, the sedan has not only a little different rave, but also other steering steering settings.
On the track, the car pleases handling and comfort. Dynamics, given the power of the motor, also quite decent
It is easier to pass the old Rio to the trad-in, and take X-Line. And if I took the car for myself, I would take the "base". Because against the background of wide black linings on the arches, even the maximum possible 16-inch discs that are only in top equipment The price is more than a million, seem small. Not to mention 15-inch - on these hatchback, it looks like that, as if a strong man decided to get into the ballerina's pointe. So it is better to take a complete set, and "casting" to buy yourself, and at least 17 inches. With such wheels and properly selected rubber, you can get about the centimeter of the air under the "belly" - the place of place in the wheeled arches allows you to shove not even the lowest R17 tires. Yes, and an externally, the car will immediately transform - for example, on Infiniti QX30, which is not much more in KIA dimensions, 18-inch wheels are harmonious, and try it on the 16th?
Due to widespread linings, the wheel arches seem much more than it really is. Because of this, 16-inch disks for Rio X-Line, the original wheels (drawing, by the way, originally, will not put such a sedan) look small
We had a car test only in the "top" and "pre-optopal" equipment, so what the Rio X-Line looks like on the 15th "caps" I can not say. The choice of motors was also limited - only 123-strong 1.6 and only a 6-speed automatic, but the way this bundle leads, I really liked it. The machine is accelerated Raw, while the noise of the engine, well heard during acceleration, with a measured ride barely catch. Even at high speed in the cabin, you can talk without increasing the voices! For the "state employee" it is so surprising that the thought even crept on - did the test machines made additional noise insulation? By the way, the salon here is exactly the same as the sedan. It was possible to designate the version of the X-Line signboard on the steering wheel or torpedo, or change the upholstery color, but the creators of the new items decided not to do - the buyer is primarily important how the machine looks outside, and additional improvements inside would increase the price.
In the cabin hatchback there is absolutely no differences from the sedan
However, this does not mean that Rio X-Line will remain. In Kia, carefully listens to the market, and if it turns out that there is such a need - we will see a new salon, and other improvements. It is also possible that more affordable versions will appear: while the initial boards for the hatchback is a complete set of Comfort. The sedan can be taken performed by Classic and save 60 thousand to abandon the audio system, heated front seats and steering wheel, adjust the steering wheel on the departure and the central lock with remote control. But is it worth saving on your comfort? Given that there are many representatives of the weak gender among X-Line buyers, the demand for "empty" packages will be small.
Climate control is only the most expensive complete sets, but even in the simplest there is air conditioning
Engine start button - the privilege of the top version for 1 024,900 rubles
New AV Media Center for 60,000 rubles cheaper than a similar system with a navigator. And the navigation application here can be launched from a smartphone connected via Apple CarPlay or Android AUTO
The trunk is noticeably less than the sedan, but the possibilities for downloading it is wider
On the off-road Rio X-Line it is worth allowing only with extreme necessity
Driving
The machine is easy and pleasant to control, it is not afraid of bad roads, but there is nothing to do on the off-road
Salon
Everything like a sedan, except the trunk: it is less, but it is easier for it to stuff "Negabarrit"
Comfort

Verdict
The Russian division of KIA "Low Blood" solved the problem of absence in his model row compact crossover. At the same time, the novelty does not intersect with Hyundai Creta. And is a very interesting alternative for those who want a car similar to the "SUV", but do not want to overpay. So the X-Line versions will certainly succeed in increasing the share of hatchbacks in sales of Rio from 20 to the desired 25%.
Kia Rio X-Line - front-wheel drive cross-hatchback of a subcompact class (it segment "B" by european classification), who, according to the automaker, "unites everything that the majority of buyers dream of": an attractive design, a good level of practicality and versatility, the convenience of movement in urban environments and the possibility of going to country roads ...
Car created "specifically for russian market"(This is from the words of the manufacturer, and in fact he has a Chinese twin brother, who came out a little earlier - Kia KX Cross) on the basis of popular in our country models kia. Rio 4th generation, officially declassified on the network on October 10, 2017 - he embodied in himself top QualitiesHatchbacks, and stylish design elements that are usually inherent in crossovers.
Looks like Kia Rio X-Line attractive, modern and proportionally, and in its exterior it is not found contradictory details.
The pompous "physiognomy" with major headlights, a narrow "tiger nose" of the radiator lattice and a relief bumper with LED "garlands" of DRL, a sporty-based silhouette with a drop-down roof, expressive sides and the correct wheel arches, frying feed with stylish lamps and exhaust " double-barrel "- the car is good and balanced from all angles.
In addition to this, the "crossover" the appearance of the hatchback gives an increased clearance, protective "armor" around the perimeter of the body of angry plastic, brilliant fluid in the lower part of the bumpers and roof rails.
This is a representative of a subcompact segment that demonstrates the following external dimensions: 4240 mm in length, 1510 mm in height and 1750 mm wide. Per distance between wheel pairs Fiftemer accounts for a 2600-millimeter gap.
Initially, the car was completed with tires with a dimension of 185/65 R15 and 195/55 R16, depending on the configuration, but its road clearance in all cases was modest 170 mm. But since January 2019, Koreans, in pursuit of major competitors, installed new springs on cross-hatchback, thereby increasing its clearance: so in the "top" execution of Premium lumen under the bottom there are 195 mm (including - at the expense of wheels with sizes 195/60 R16), and in all other versions - 190 mm (they have "rollers" former, 15-inch).
In the curved form, the weight of Korean varies from 1155 to 1269 kg, and its full mass ranges from 1570 to 1620 kg (depending on the modification).
The Kia Rio X-Line interior is decorated for a European manner and has a pleasant eye with an outline, thoughtful ergonomics, high-quality level of performance and solid finishing materials.
In the working area of \u200b\u200bthe driver are "plump" multi-steering wheel optimal sizes And the stylish "shield" of devices with two dials and a color screen between them, and the central console decorate the 7-inch display of the information and entertainment system and the castle block "microclimate" with "floating" keys ... But it is worth noting here that the decoration of the base versions has where it is worthwhile. more modest view.
Front places in cross-hatche are equipped with comfortable seats with severe side rollers, normal packing density and sufficient adjustment intervals. The second row here is arranged here, characteristic of the "players" of the B-class - an ergonomically integrated sofa (which is more suitable for the placement of two adult saddles), protruding the floor tunnel and a good stock of free space.
With a five-seater layout trunk Kia. Rio X-Line is able to absorb up to 390 liters of boot. The rear sofa is folded by two unequal sections in a ratio of 60:40 (though, a completely even cargo platform does not work in this case), which brings the reserve of the "hold" capacity of up to 1075 liters. In the underground niche, the five-door instruments and a full-size spare wheel are neatly laid.
For the "oscillate" hatchback stated two gasoline motor With four row-oriented cylinders, distributed power system, 16-valve architecture TRP (type DOHC) and changing phases of gas distribution:
- Basic option - "Atmospheric" of the Kappa family of 1.4 liters, which develops 100 horse power At 6000 rev / minute and 132 N · m of an available moment at 4000 rpm.
- "Top" modifications are given in motion 1.6-liter engine (Gamma series), which produces 123 hp At 6,300 rpm and 151 N · m of the generated potential at 4850 rev / min.
By default, the five-dimensional is equipped with a 6-speed "mechanics" and front-wheel drive transmission, and in the form of the option it assumes a 6-range "automatic".
From scratch to the first "hundred", the car rushes after 10.7 ~ 13.4 seconds, and the maximum accelerates to 174 ~ 184 km / h (the performance option is influenced by these indicators).
Fuel consumption in combined conditions at Korean varies from 5.9 to 6.6 liters depending on the version (in the city it takes 7.4 ~ 8.9 liters, and on the track - 5 ~ 5.6 liters).
At the heart of Kia Rio X-Line is the front-wheel drive platform, borrowed from the three-componer fourth generationAnd in its design there is a wide use of high-strength steels (their share exceeds 50%).
Front cross-hatchback relies on independent suspension such as MacPherson, and behind - on a semi-dependent architecture with a torsion beam (and there, and there are stabilizers transverse stability and hydraulic shock absorbers).
By default, the car is equipped with a steering system with a "implantable" controller and the brake complex, which includes ventilated discs on the front and drum devices on rear wheels (Augmented ABS and EBD). It should be noted that the most "top" modifications can boast disk brake mechanisms On each of the four wheels.
In the Russian market, the Kia Rio X-Line 2019 is offered in four configurations - "Comfort", "Luxe", "Prestige" and "Premium":
The simplest version costs from 874,900 rubles, and by default it is equipped with: two airbags, ERA-GLONASS system, ABS, ESC, VSM, Torture of mounting technology, air conditioning, two electrical windows, electric power steering, 15-inch steel wheels , audio system with four columns and some other equipment.
... Fiftemer S. automatic box The gears are sold at a price of 914,900 rubles, and for execution with a 123-strong engine dealers are as much asked for 899,900 rubles ...
The most "fascinated" modification will cost in the amount of 1,124,900 rubles. Distinctive signs of the latter are: side pillows and security curtains, windshield electrical heating, heated front and rear seats, 16-inch light-alloy "rollers", furnishing of an artificial leather salon, climatic installation, multimedia complex, "Music" with six speakers, navigator, a rear view camera and the darkness of other "lotions".
This car was born under the pressure of the Russian representative office of Kia. It was our guys who persuaded the headquarters in Seoul to lift the hatchback by 10 mm and equip plastic overlays around the perimeter (China, a similar machine is also present on whose market, it took an example from Russia, and not vice versa). Of course, a full-fledged crossover Rio X-Line with a declared clearance of 170 mm did not, but it was visually in a trend. By the way, the name "X-Line" was also invented. And Russian engineers were engaged in the suspension setting.
Alive Rio X-Line looks significantly harmonious direct competitors represented by Renault Sandero Stepway. and Lada Xray.. Personally, this car resembles the subaru XV of the first generation most of all - the one that has been produced from 2006 to 2011 with Impreza named. The battle with also looks more than real. Rio X-Line wheel base (2600 mm) is even more than a relative competitor (2590 mm). And the declared volume of the cross-rio trunk is a considerable 390 liters. For comparison: Krett has 402 liters.

Bonus, of course, goes. If the start-up in the START setting for 799,900 rubles is devoid of air conditioning, heating front seats, leather braid The steering wheel and even the trunk shelves, then the basic Rio X-Line for 774,900 will all be. And it does not matter that at the disposal of the cheap modifications of the Rio 1.4-liter 100-strong engine. If you believe in factory data, in overclocking up to hundreds of X-Line c, such a motor will yield to 1,6-liter Cutter only half a second. And the previous experience of communication with proves - the initial motor, in general, is enough.
For the first journalistic dating, KIA representatives allocated two top modifications of Rio X-Line - Prestige AV and Premium. Both are equipped with a 1,6-liter power engine with a capacity of 123, and the difference, in addition to the features of the finish (PREMIUM interior, is covered with leather) and small external differences (rear pavements of Premium - LED), comes down to the use of tires of different dimensions. At Prestige AV at the factory, 185/65 R15 tires are installed, Premium gets 195/55 R16. As it turned out after a test drive of both versions, the difference between them is more than noticeable.

After the first kilometers behind the wheel of Rio X-Line on 16-inch wheels it was difficult to believe their feelings! I remember well how excitement is managed and what is reliably cling to the Rio-sedan arc, and here is an empty steering wheel with a blurry "zero", rucking on straight and hard "rearrangements" of the stern on the most innocuous road junctions. Usually this difference in behavior and is not closely treated with the installation of more "fatty" high-profile tires, so the idea of \u200b\u200bthe incompetence of Russian engineers has been crying. It is necessary to spoil the car so much!
And even stronger surprise, I experienced when I moved to Rio X-Line on 15-inch wheels with a similar "velcro" Nokian Hakkapeliitta. And realized that before engineers should be apologized. In this configuration, Rio X-Line is almost the same as well as. To manage it is incomparably more pleasant than Xrem or Sandero Stepway. And yes - on asphalt, he definitely rides no worse than Creta. Moreover - regardless of the type rear suspension Crossover Hyundai.
On the settlement, the energy intensity of the Rio X-Line, as a whole, is sufficient, but it is a bit more complicated with competitors. It seems to me that the smoothness of the stroke to the Krett and Sandero, the novelty Kia still displaces. However, if you frankly do not overdo it at speed, kia suspension It is not easy to make hardware. And with the rigidity of the body, Rio X-Line is generally all right. When diagonal hanging, the fifth door flies slightly, but it closes without any problems. Creet cases in similar conditions are somewhat worse.
The rest of the Rio X-Line is the same Rio-sedan with perfectly known advantages and disadvantages. Cross Hatch is the same European stylish interior, made of hard, but quite enjoyable plastic, the same level of noise insulation, which is clearly not enough if unwinding the motor is above 4500 revolutions. And also - almost as rainbow market prospects, because already in the basic execution of Rio X-Line - a full, ready-to-use car. For quite adequate. The main thing is not to chase the appearance and do not install low-profile tires on it.
Production of the novelty has already started at the enterprise Hönde Motor Manufacturing Rus in St. Petersburg side by side with coated models - sedans and new generations divided by new Kia. Rio X-line also with engines (1.4 - liter 100 strong and 1.6-liter 123 strong) and gearboxes (6 transmissions and 6 automatic transmission). According to preliminary information, price The new cross-hatch Kia Rio X-Line, by default with the front driving wheels, will be at least 740 thousand rubles.
We want to note that new Kia. Rio X-Line is a primary X-Line direction from Kia Motors, created specifically for the Russian market. Such a step of the marketing department of the South Korean automaker - the answer to the wishes of Russian motorists to diversify model line Kia machines with increased road clearance and stylized under crossovers. So in a short time we expect the premiere at least 2-3 cross-hits with the X-Line console.
Add from yourself that in fact the appearance of raised hatchback Kia. Rio X-Line is quite logical for two reasons. First, in the second generation Kia. Rio is available only with the body of the sedan, and it is logical to replenish the Hatchback lineup, and at the same time an overworthy version. Secondly, the model to develop from scratch is not necessary, good is Chinese version Kia. K2 Cross. Which, by the way, only slightly changed the headlights of head light and rear dimming lights, but not the form of headlights, but their content (other colors of sections in headlights and overall lamps adapted to domestic standards). So the new raised five-door hatchback simply waited at the time and will be available to the Russians.
The novelty looks stylish and, will not happen, expensive. Plastic sneaker, protecting the lower parts of the bumpers and body, as well as the edges of the wheeled arches add a car solidity.
- External dimensions kIA body The Rio X-Line 2017-2018 is identical to the dimensions of the Chinese version of Cross Hatch KIA K2 Cross and make up 4240 mm in length, 1750 mm wide, 1505 mm in height, with a 2600 mm wheelbase and 170 mm of road lumen.
- The new ossellite hatchback rests on the ground specially designed for the model 16-inch alloy wheels with rubber 195/55 R16.
Interior of a new model that opens for Russian motorists Direction X-Line, full copy of the cabin sedana Kia. Rio. With the only reservation that the hatchback has a useful volume luggage compartment A little more modest than the four-door, and is just over 400 liters. In this case, the equipment of the cross-hatch and sedan packages are identical. The manufacturer promised LED daytime running lights, overall lights with LED filling, a modern multimedia system with a 7-inch color touch screen (navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android AUTO), rear view camera, upholstery "Eco-skin" seats.
