Tuning "Kia-Rio": photo

"Kia-Rio" is a representative of the budget segment in the market. At the time of release, the car cost from 500 thousand rubles. However, in 2015 the situation in the economy of the country made some adjustments, attracted to a significant increase in prices. Now, to buy this non-native Korean, you will need to shell out about 600 thousand rubles.

The car "Kia-Rio" is represented by several generations. But the main change in this model is not an updated appearance, but a change in the location of the conveyor. The last cars, which were intended for sales in the domestic market, were assembled in Russia.

Koreans always stood out for the good quality of the Kia-Rio cars, tuning (photo can be seen below) and this time did not spoil the reputation won by the years. Virtually all models are quite unpretentious in operation and work perfectly in our climatic zone. The car is designed for people with an average income, which makes it popular and in demand. Right after the release of the new model, "Kia-Rio" began to buy taxi companies.

Highlights of Russian assembly

Of course, the quality of assembly differs from Korean and, unfortunately, not for the better. The tuning of "Kia-Rio" (Russian assembly) basically has no big minuses. Attractive appearance, blown body shapes - all this, of course, in the style of modern cars.

Opening the doors, drivers immediately pay attention to the spacious interior, but on the back row of seats a person of high growth will not be comfortable to settle. Finishing materials are pleased with high quality. Control devices are located conveniently, at arm's length, respectively, using them will be a joy.

Tuning "Kia-Rio" has one, but significant minus: non-main parameters or nodes of the car, and a small number of options in cheap trim levels. This is what allowed to significantly reduce the starting price. But a person who wants to use the car in complete comfort, will have to put about 100 thousand more than the declared value.

The initial car is very poor in terms of amenities. It is this, probably, the manufacturer is slightly inferior to competitors who offer basic models with some options. Therefore, after buying the "Kia-Rio" tuning of the cabin is recommended to conduct independently.

Short description Kia Rio

"Kia-Rio" - more urban car, but for trips around the city will be no less convenient. The combination of dynamics and speed indicators allows him to feel comfortable in any environment. Of course, like any model, it has certain disadvantages, which are compensated by merits.

Despite the change of the country of the manufacturer, Kia always keeps the brand and the quality of its cars at a level that is very pleasing. Updated tuning "Kia-Rio" is proof that the company is doing everything to win more consumers. Maybe over time the manufacturer will think about the release of cars with a richer bundle. That's when Kia will become the leader among budget segment models. In the meantime, it remains only to wait for new fantasies of designers and designers, as soon as the updated "Rio" will be on sale.

Tuning - rejection of standard solutions

There is a category of drivers who prefer extreme movement, bright and catchy appearance of the car. Their goal is to attract the attention of everyone around them. Wait for years for new models - not in their spirit. Therefore tuning will help here. "Kia-Rio" sedan can be remade independently beyond recognition. There are a lot of options, but we must remember that such a finish will be worth a lot of money. The cooler the car, the greater the chances of attention and success of the owner.

Tuned cars participate in exhibitions, receive prizes. Therefore, if the driver is a creative person, then his life will find new colors.

Tuning properties

Changes to the car can be both external and internal. More in-depth updates are affected by technical tuning. So, first consider the aerodynamic changes.

What spare parts can be needed, doing tuning "Kia-Rio"? Radiator grille, bumper, door sills, wing, air intake, xenon headlights, alloy wheels - and this is not the whole list.

Most of the motorists, seeing a beautifully redesigned car, immediately run to the car dealer to buy the goods of their dreams, without even realizing what exactly the kit will suit him. It is necessary to take into account the fact that all this can both improve the quality and raise the characteristics, and damage the car.

The result of using improperly selected parts: fuel consumption increases and aerodynamics decreases. It can be checked directly on the road.

Before buying anything, you need to consult a specialist.

Air intakes on Kia Rio

The air intake is installed from the outside to the bonnet and the roof, and there are also models designed to change the interior trim. This design gives a touch of aggressiveness to the design, perfectly combined with other tuning details. The air intake is a plastic cover, most often with chrome plating. It is fastened easily enough on scotch 3m.

Xenon headlights on the "Kia-Rio"

Tuning with xenon light is one of the brightest in the process of improvement. Each driver dreams of making optics at the highest level. Such lamps are a unique solution that will help to differ from everyone else. Eccentricity will add a certain hue, for example, blue or red, this immediately attracts increased attention from others.

Xenon has a good overview, perfectly illuminates the road, consumes less energy, is not afraid of jarring, and lasts much longer. Tuning the "Kia-Rio" hatchback rarely does without installing such headlights. In new models, halogen can be replaced with more advanced ones.

Alloy wheels

Updating the car, drivers can not ignore the discs, because they are responsible for many parameters. Alloy wheels give the car a shine, smooth ride at the expense of light weight (if you take the example of conventional stamping, then casting is easier by 20-30%), reduce the acceleration time, increase the efficiency of braking.

Recently, it is often possible to meet the updated tuning of "Kia-Rio" with R17 discs. If you use low-profile tires, the car will outwardly resemble a model of the sports class.

Bumper

Most car enthusiasts try to improve the car with their own hands, changing one or another composition, resorting to methods of finalizing the design by soldering bumpers, adding features to the appearance. Most often, attention is paid to the bottom of the car, in order to emphasize the style and character of the "Kia-Rio" model. Tuning (photo clearly shows the acquired power with a modified bumper) means the addition of various parts, and the amplifier itself is not affected, which guarantees maximum strength and safety to the driver and passengers.

The air ducts are easily mounted in the bumper, ensuring a good ventilation of the disc brakes. It is enough to cut holes and hold the sleeves in the location. It is also possible to adjust the cooling of the radiator by correctly distributing the holes in the structure, the operations done are closed with a grid.

Excess from the bumper can be removed, thereby giving it a newer shape. To do this, use plastic or fiberglass.

Body kit

The trim of the thresholds is important, it is able to protect the lower part from corrosion and small scratches. Most often it is made from epoxy resin, so that it does not stick to the paintwork. In the manufacture of a body kit there is nothing complicated, every novice motorist who has no experience can quite cope with this task.

Chip-tuning "Kia-Rio"

A fundamentally new development that allows resetting the parameters of controllers and electrical systems. It is not possible to update engines without such a procedure. What can I do with Rio?

• Replace the sensors;
• Install the engine control unit;
• Change other elements in the car system (only possible in certain cases).
