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 greatly 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-started setting for 799,900 rubles is deprived of air conditioner, heating the front seats, the leather handlers of the steering wheel and even the shelves of the trunk, 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 in front of engineers would 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 of 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 is not easy to force to work on a hang. 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-hat has the same European 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
Do you remember the times of wild automotive boom: the end of the nineties when the car is on a mobile phone, has become an ordinary thing? Yes, old, yes for one and a half or two thousand "U.E.", but able to move. "Golf", "Passat", "Chisels" and "Beehi" went into the people, and together with the hurricane growth of business on the delivery of spare parts and the sale of auto-organs from the killed cars, a new word appeared - "tuning". When the "youth audience" joined the steering wheel, as marketers now say, it turned out that many people are missing just enough cars, which, about a miracle, waiting for you at the entrance and can move. It wanted to distinguish between everyone, not shaking beards. "Blue Pysens", wheels on spacers and everything in such a spirit, you remember. All this torment was washed away by new high-quality cars on credit, when cheap Tsatski, combined with holey thresholds, began to look completely stupid. Now anyone understands not only the fact that the shelf on the trunk does not add admiration, but also the fact that there is such a thing - design. If it was created, not a designer, and the welder, it doesn't seem to do with the pininphyrine.
The current Kia Rio is practically impossible: at least to work, even at the cottage, at least in a taxi. So good, what is bored? You do not want as a taxi? Yes, please get a professional tuning of this class that the car would look like a lot of two thousands of two hundred more people, it would be easy to find out the Rio sedan. The new hatch Rio X-Line with a view has no more common with Rio-seed than Cinderella in the kitchen with itself on the ball. But they are so close in everything, except wardrobe and meikapa.
Rearly recognize Rio in Cross-Hatch Beck is the hardest thing: a license plate on it, unlike a sedan, a place, dwelled blade under the deflector of the rear bumper, and the silhouette with wheel arch expansion and the roof rails did not leave the reference to boredom. On the side of Moldings added passion lines, in front of the lower Radiator zev widely broke the lower corners in the rally spirit. Even the clearance went to benefit - the compact visually added not only in size, but also, no matter how paradoxically, in sports.
Just need to remember: Technically, this is all the same Rio - not a crossover and not an SUV. No need to ask us to drive the X-Line on the tank polygon and hang the wheels. The drive here is the front, behind the beam, and in general, everything is the same as on the sedan. Almost the same. Because the sedan on the go for the machines of its class is close to immaculate. X-Line on good road rides a little less interesting. It is not so stripped on a straight line, and its suspension is not as well balanced by comfort and manageability. There are no words, the car is high-quality, and not to complain about what, but also there is a difference with the sedan. And the most tangible - in the maximum configuration on the 16-wheels: Pos-Kolka and the stumps from the "lying police" and the pits are tougher, and rolls and squatting on the front outer wheel in the corners of the raised and shortened car more. On basic tires 185 / 65R15 X-Line goes much better. Especially on bad and slipways, for which the X-Line simply flies. Plus, standard tires and harmoniously combined with all the elastokinematics of the suspension in the turns on an even asphalt, and the straight is better kept, and less vibrations and shaking are transmitted to the salon.

Close prices, more space inside, not so good on the go
Cross-hatchback is more expensive than sedan in a similar configuration for 30,000 rubles, and its trunk is less than 90 litas. This is the whole patch for style, beauty and clearance. There are not only external, but also practical advantages: the corners of the exit will give more freedom on Ughab and borders, in Parks, the hatch beek needs 15 cm less space, and the suspension energy intensity will allow you to travel on a broken road.
The configuration is similar to those proposed for a sedan, for the exclusion of the basic version of Classic, in which the X-Line is not available. Hatch also goes with engines 100 and 123 hp 1.4 and 1.6 with a machine or mechanic, and its "warm options" are the same complete - up to the heating of the rear seats.

Hatchback fans in Russia became victims of a peculiar closed circle - the domestic demand for such a body is traditionally small, and therefore manufacturers supply an increasing number of similar models into our country. Kia Rio X-Line is a rare beast at current times, and therefore we could not pass by such a wonder. Today we present to your attention Test Drive Kia Rio X-Line 2018 - It will be interesting!
Specifications
The model is presented in two variations - with a 1.4 liter engine and 100 horsepower, and a 123-strong copy with a volume of 1.6 liters. Barites of the body:
- Length - 4240 mm;
- Height - 1510 mm;
- Width - 1750 mm;
- Wheel base - 2600 mm;
- The volume of the trunk - 390/1075 l;
- Clearance - 170 mm.
In the premium package included:
- Climate control;
- Uncleless SmartKey Access System;
- Supervision 3.5 dashboard;
- Navigation system with 7 "plane and support of information on traffic jams and fixation chambers;
- Bluetooth to connect a mobile phone.
The price of Kia Rio Iks Line in Russia begins from 670,000 rubles - very available at current time.
Appearance
Those who are familiar with the same name has become the same name, are unlikely to come to a lot of innovations and radical differences between him and Hatchback data. The frontal part has an intimate difference in the field of radiator lattice, in the form of an air intake and niches under fog. 
Both bumpers received overlays stylized under metal, but made of prosaic plastic. 
On the roof, the roads were settled, which visually add a car a little height, but by and large, the same good Kia Rio was hit by a test drive, but with the appearance of the X-Line and the cut-off trunk. 
Salon
The interior of the car deserves exclusively warm words - conservative, but very stylish design torpedo, extremely comfortable steering wheel, admitting any grip, an impressive handle of an automatic transmission and a small, but quite sufficient set of essential electronics, although there is a random variation in the luxury variations. A touch seed screen is a window in a multimedia world, with which you can find out the traffic jams on the roads or connect Android Auto / Apple CarPlay.
Slightly spoils the impression. Despite the manufacturer's attempts to create an impression of car accessories to the middle class, budget plastic still gives the true origin of the machine, and the spaces are not enough spaces - they will simply fall asleep in the chair with a nearby passenger. But the heating is enough for all - windshield and rear windows, steering wheel, mirrors, glasswater nozzles and seats, all this is heated by the full program. 
In the rear seats with amenities, absolutely tints - neither USB or cigarette lighter. The quality of the upholstery corresponds to the price of the device, no unexpected luxury. The trunk is small, but for the hatchback as a whole sufficient - 390 liters, and if you fold the rear sofa, then at all 1075.
Engine
As already understandable of the information shown above, the "X-Laina" power units are not different from the sedan installed on the sedan - these are the same 1.4 / 100 and 1.6 liters / 123 horsepower. They fully agree on 92-gasoline, which in the current economic situation is important. The buyer has the ability to choose a 6-speed manual gearbox or 6-range automatic, and the oil producer recommends changing every 90,000 kilometers.
In general, there are no complaints about the engine, but here's a torque I would like to have a little more than 151 nm at 4850 turns, and turnover in turn downward than 6300 at maximum power. Already in the basic configuration there is an electronic pressure control system in tires, although let's say honestly, the chip is not the first. But the premium equipment is already starting with the button and has a contactless smart key. In general, there is something to think about choosing the final version, although a significant difference in price can solve everything for you.
Test Drive
On the track, the car behaves again according to the covenants of the older brother-sedan. The machine is completely balanced, feedback when driving is adequate, the suspension is quite a good compromise between comfort at handling. In short, there is no questions on the track, and maybe then take a look at the car beyond? 
Already looking at the road lumen indicators it becomes clear that we are still the urban hatchback, and not a compact crossover - 170 mm on 15-inch wheels are not suitable for off-road rally. If your goal is to drink through a relatively smooth primer to a given place, then the car will cope with the task, but on a regular basis, it is not recommended to dissect from asphalt tracks. Recall that the legendary "nine" of the Zhiguli has the same clearance and do not even drive into those places where they would not risk climbing the miracle of the domestic auto industry.

Conclusion
You need to perceive this car exactly the same way as Kia Rio in the sedan housing, hachback in this case is a form, but not the content, and you should not qualify for comfortable movement outside the city. If you feel that the road supped with rubble, probably causing injury to paintwork and God forbid the bottom of the standard sedan, then be sure that the fake inserts under metal on the hood will not protect you from such a fate. 
On the other hand, the car looks really pretty and the price is more than a democratic, so the fans of hatchbacks - on your street again a holiday, hurry to enjoy the representative of the extinction species.
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
Kia Rio X-Line. Price: from 774 900 rubles. On sale: November 2017
"We do not position the X-Line as an 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 a local plant is a" donor "of many components for the Russian factory, where they make Rio, 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 a huge road lumen, full-wheel drive, and 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! It is better than the results of focus group surveys, this 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 spent on the "focus" of the 2nd generation, which for a long time remained for me with a reference to 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. Just do it will have to do on your own risk, since, 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 on the background of wide black linings on the arches, even the maximum possible 16-inch discs that only in the top configuration price more than a million seems small ones. 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 Behind a lot of foot scene, more space above your head than a sedan, but also narrowly in the shoulders. Security In the "base" there are two pillows and ESPs with tire pressure sensor Price Just 30,000 rubles more expensive sedan in a similar configuration Middle score |
- Increased ground clearance, excellent suspension, quiet and frisky motor 1.6, relatively small surcharge for the package of "off-road" options
- Massive lining on the arches "grind" the size of the wheels, inside the noise is not different from the sedan, the weak opportunities for off-road

Travel at the new hatchback Kia Rio X-Line 1.6 (123 hp) with a machine gun. How successful is the test drive, you can read below.
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 in front of engineers would be apologized. In this configuration, Rio X-Line is almost as healthy as a related sedan. 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 of 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 is not easy to force to work on a hang. 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-hat has the same European 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.
In Mail.Ru's publishing house, a comparative test drive of the hatchback Kia Rio X-Line 1.6 MT and the Lada West Wellest West Sv Cross 1.8 MT. Yuri Uryukov robbed on both machines, and with his impressions can be found below.
But those who do not bring color deficiency in longing, Rio X-Line will suit more. Laconic devices read better playful dials "Vesti". Multimedia with a small monochrome screen and without navigation, but it works more prompt and friendly with "iPhone" through a USB slot. The central console is helpfully deployed to the driver, the accessories are adjusted carefully and even the buttons are pressed with a more noble force. Therefore, "to the touch" the interior of Kia is more pleasant.
The closer to the tail, the stronger the advantage of the Vesta. Salon wagon slightly wider, rear passengers are allocated significantly more space for knees, and from pleasant little things Kia cannot offer anything at all! Rear in Rio X-Line does not even have an armrest, although Lada, besides him, offers heated sofa, USB to charge gadgets and a niche for trifles.
And after comparing the trunking of the fight, I wanted to stop the explicit advantage of the "Vesti". The Russian wagon and in formal figures accommodates more (480 liters vs. 390), and is organized inside literacy. In Kia, the cargo compartment is precisely the compartment. An empty container, where from useful things you will find except that straps to fix a five-liter bottle with non-freezing.
Against the backdrop of a retired slow "Lada" in general, the ordinary 1.6-liter Korean engine works out its 123 hp on the top five Bodro breaks off the hatchback from the spot, it is easily gaining momentum under load and generally pleases the liveliness and response to gas. But on the KIA paper, although it is easier for the centner, but less than the line - 151 N ∙ M against 170. Surprisingly, but even the fuel "Korean" is more careful, consuming about 7 liters of the 92th on a hundred. Lada gasoline of the same variety is required by 2.5 liters more.
The transmissions in the six-speed mechanic Rio X-LINE is not enough that they switches easier, so also cling to each other. The transmission of the five-speed box "Lada" is not so clear, the transmission of Vazovskaya is suggested, and the long-time clutch requires addiction.
The journalist of the Wheel portal tested the new "oscillate" Kia Rio X-Line with a 1.6-liter engine capacity of 123 hp and six-speed mechanics.
The maximum power of our 123-strong motor is given by 6,300 revolutions, the maximum torque in 151 nm is 4,850 revolutions. The machine is felt quite vigorous if the gas pedal is working in "ON-OFF" mode, for, as in all inexpensive cars, cheerness is achieved by twisting the engine on low transmissions.
I was frankly sorry for him to torment him. However, if pedal is calm, it becomes very boring ... In plus I note that the braking effect of the engine is well noticeable at low speeds, which gives a consistently switched down box. It is convenient and in terms of traffic safety, and from the point of view of increasing the resource of disks and pads.
Actually, the behavior of the X-Line on straight and moderate turns is described repeatedly on the example of the body of the sedan. Hatchback behaves almost the same way. The car for its price is quite balanced, steals with adequate feedback, the suspension is in the balance between comfort and handling, moderately giving the other.
At the same time, the potential buyer should not take into account the word "Cross". Not at all! "Off-road" abilities of the car - at the level of the progenitor-sedan, purely urban car. X-Line is a good, correctly designed for Russia hatchback, but also only. It is possible, for example, to drive to a distant lake on a sufficiently bumpy primer with pits in half colleges. But only very slowly and in dry-pretty weather.
The main task of the X-Line in relation to its "SUV" is to drive in the same place where the Rio-sedan will drive, but a little faster and with a smaller risk to get injured paintwork.
A journalist of the portal Avtovzalov Denis Halvine rolled on Korean Hatchback Kia Rio X-Line 1.6 AT, along the course of the test, comparing the Korean automobile industry from the domestic Lada X-Ray.
On the second row for persons with an average set of space in the knees and above the head, although the minimum, but it is convenient to get settled. At the same time, the model does not have to talk about impeccable sound insulation - "Korean" during acceleration on high speed "seals" loudly and persistently, but the ears do not laid (Xray, if losing in this discipline, then not very strong).
As for the suspension, it is not entirely polite on the seams, joints and samples of moderate severity, but on the coating with fine ripples retains approximate calm. And here compets from the Renault-Nissan-AvtoVAZ alliance look better.
The car is stable in turns, perfectly holds the trajectory and demonstrates a comfortable smoothness of the stroke. The characteristics of the steering from Korean are not at all budget. The steering wheel is informative and predictable, although it be densitive, would have ruling even komofarts.
A 123-strong "atmospheric" instantly responds to the gas pedal and not thinking to fight into battle, consuming, by the way, in a mixed cycle of 7 liters of gasoline. The six-speed "automatic" smoothly and without jerks operates transfers, and in manual mode it is even easier to make sure how the 1.6-liter motor will turn around, easily and excitement to spin.
