New sedan of Kia Rio: “Living” photo of the base version

In social networks, it was possible to find images of the cheapest configuration of the K3 – “state employee”, who in Mexico replaced Kia Rio. Sales behind the ocean began almost two years ago, but in the focus of attention there were rich versions of the GT-Line with a sportsPat. The basic “triples” of dealers also lit up, but in the configurator of the Korean brand the salon of such a “simplified” car is in no hurry to show.

Basic configurations: what auto giants are silent about

Kia K3 is noticeably larger than Rio: the difference with the Russian sedan is already 125 millimeters! The body is a composite, but this is a stylization: in fact, the “three” remained four -door. Signs of the initial version of L – dimension of the dimension of 185/65 R15 with steel disks and caps, turns in the front wings, the complete absence of LEDs and chromium. “Metal” in the basic version also does not go.

In the salon, it is easy to forget about simplifications: the plugs are noticeable only near the machine gun selector! The “mechanics” in Mexico are not complained of, therefore, the version with a hopeless motor 1.4 (98 hp) and the “pen” for 14.5 thousand dollars are more likely advertising. However, in equipment, a sedan with a 6-speed automatic and atmospheric 1.6 (121 hp) is exactly the same, although it costs 16 thousand dollars in equivalent.

The fabric salon, the classic parking brake, the start of the engine with the key, the simplified graphics of the virtual “tidy” and the media system with a 8-inch touchscreen and huge frames. You will have to agree to a regular air conditioner, four speakers of the audio system and the only heating – in external mirrors. But there are regularly six airbags, ABS and ESP systems.

Absolutely new Hyundai Solaris: “living” photos of the base version

According to rumors, both Kia and Hyundai are preparing to return to Russia, which means that it is impossible to exclude the emergence of new generations of Rio/Solaris in our country. However, without local production in the EAEU, competitive prices for budget cars are hardly possible to offer. The authorities of Kazakhstan are going to help Korean brands, so the word will remain with politicians.
