Kia had just release official photos, specs and other information about the 2017 Kia Rio ahead of its debut at the Paris Motor Show. The Kia Rio 2017 is Kia's big bet for the Paris Motor Show 2016 and for the entire European market next year. It looks like Kia will achieved their goals as the new Rio is set to impress.
Design Changes
Although the new Kia Rio will be built at the Korean plant Sohari, its design has been carried out in centers that the firm has in Germany and California so expect high-end design of the 2017 Kia RIo. The front of the Rio is the most awesome design in Kia models. It is wider yet thin and has a background of a shiny black plastic grille The hood also has undergone significant changes as it now is or at least it seems much longer than the predecessor model.
The new Kia Rio 2017 also is larger than its predecessor, with 4,065 mm long, has 15 mm more at this level, but is somewhat lower, since their height reaches 1,450 mm, 5 mm less than before. This makes more space for the passenger because the legroom, especially in the front row, now reaches 1,120 mm and the trunk increases with 37 liters more than in the previous Rio, now reaches 325 liters and has a double bottom for carrying small objects with more comfort.
At the rear, the tailgate and rear window are now down almost vertically, so the rear overhang of the previous model has disappeared. Of course, the light signature front and rear has changed radically and LEDs tend to be thinner and with a design shaped arrow, as you can see in the photo gallery of the Kia Rio 2017 here. The interior of the new Kia Rio is also dominated by straight lines and some shiny black plastic at the front. In the center, there is a 5.0 - inch touch screen.
Kia Rio Engine
The range of engines Kia Rio 2017 will start with petrol engine 1.0L T-GDI three - cylinder and will be available in two strengths: 100 hp and 120 hp. The Kia Rio 1.0 T-GDI 100 hp offers a maximum torque of 172 Nm at between 1,500 and 4,000 rpm, while the Kia Rio 1.0 T-GDI 120 hp provide maximum power at 4,500 rpm and the same torque, available to 6,000 rpm.
The new Kia Rio diesel will be based on a single propeller 1.4 liter with two power options: 70 or 90 CV, the brand aims to harmonize with emissions below 90 g / km. The two mechanical diesel and petrol variant of 120 hp will be associated with a manual gearbox six relations, while the rest of the range will carry a five.
Last but not the least, the 2017 Kia Rip will be introducing autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian recognition – a first in Rio’s class, Kia claims. Let's wait and see if this works well at the Paris Motor Show.
