As you know, each of us chooses a car according to his needs. For some it is appearance, for others - power and speed. One of the main details in the selection is the luggage compartment, as it can bring significant benefits to the owner. Kia Rio of all generations has a good and roomy trunk.

The third-generation sedan has a 500-liter trunk. A big plus is the folding backrests of the rear row of seats. This allows you to get additional. a place for placing large objects more than 1.5 meters long. The downside is the loading height of 721 millimeters.

Hatchback trunk Kia rio 3 is significantly different from the trunk of its fellow. A mediocre figure - only 389 liters, but this shortcoming is more than pays off due to the well-built transformation of the cabin. If you use transforming seats, then the position will radically change. The car owner will receive something that looks like a mini-van. The capacity of the cargo compartment will increase to almost 1,500 liters. An even floor, unfortunately, will not work.

At your disposal is a volume of 480 liters. A convenient option "intelligent" opening of the trunk has appeared, which allows you to open the trunk in a few seconds when you approach the car.

The volume of the luggage compartment is as follows - 390 liters in normal mode and 1075 liters with the rear sofa unfolded, folding in a 60/40 ratio. With the luggage compartment roof open, the owner gets a practical and wide opening into which the oversized cargo will fit. Weak side lies in the glossy panels that trim the trunk, they are easily scratched.
Trunk volume Kia sedan Rio the current generation is exactly 500 liters... The hatchback has a smaller capacity, just 389 liters. The last restyling of the 2015 Kia Rio did not change these indicators. It is worth noting that in addition to the free space under the floor of the luggage compartment of the Rio, there is a niche for a full-size spare wheel.
The loading height of the trunk is 721 mm, and the dimensions of the opening are 447 by 958 mm. Further more detailed interior dimensions of the sedan trunk.
- Distance between wheel arches - 1024 mm
- Distance to seat back (trunk length inside) - 984 mm
- The distance from the floor to the top point of the trunk (height inside) - 557 mm
- Trunk width at widest point - 1439 mm
The spare wheel under the boot floor of the Kia Rio is tightly fixed, so that no extra noise from there awaits you, see the photo below.
Naturally, the backrest of the rear seat folds in a ratio of 60 to 40. There is a rather large opening under the seat back, which connects the interior with the luggage compartment. This increases the usability of the vehicle. If the rear backrest is folded in whole or in part, then things longer than 1.5 meters can easily fit into the interior of the car.
You can argue for a long time about the practicality of a sedan or hatchback. But backdoor hatchback Kia Rio provides a large loading aperture and allows you to load very voluminous things into the cabin. But if there are passengers in the back seat, then it makes sense in a small trunk volume of 389 liters Little.
The era of the second generation of the popular Kia Rio model fell on the initial period of global transformations at Kia Motors, which subsequently made the Korean manufacturer a worthy competitor to many of the world's auto giants. Naturally, this left its mark on the evolution of the Rio. The car has become much better quality, more modern, technologically advanced and more attractive for the average buyer.
Announcement of the second generation Kia Rio (JB) took place in 2005 during the Detroit Auto Show, where the North American sedan version was presented to the public. Later, in Geneva, European modifications were shown, presented by a sedan and a hatchback, created specifically for the requests and wishes of buyers from Europe. The second generation of Rio was created on a joint platform Hyundai accent MC, thanks to which the size of the car has slightly increased, going beyond the usual boundaries of the B-class. Despite this, the manufacturer continued to position it precisely as a compact family car.
In terms of design, the second generation of Kia Rio stepped towards European preferences and this is not surprising, because Europe, including Russia, was becoming the main sales market for the Korean manufacturer at that time. Meanwhile, there were no global changes in appearance in comparison with the first generation of Rio. Korean designers added a little dynamism to the body contours, provided the car with large expressive headlights and stretched black plastic moldings of a non-standard configuration around the entire perimeter, which noticeably increase in the rear of the body.
More noble appearance Rio of the 2nd generation received during the restyling of 2009, on which the famous German car designer Peter Schreier, invited to the Korean company, worked. It was he who introduced a new proprietary radiator grille, developed a spoiler for luxury modifications and redesigned the architecture of the bumpers, making them much more modern.
Initially, the dimensions of the second generation Kia Rio, especially the hatchback, fit well within the B-class. So the length of the hatchback was 3990 mm, and the sedan - 4240 mm; the width was 1695 mm for all body variants, the same was true for the height - 1470 mm. After restyling in 2009, the sedan and hatchback added a little in length - the sedan grew to 4250 mm, and the hatchback stretched to 4025 mm, the rest of the dimensions did not change. The length of the wheelbase has not changed either; for all body modifications of all years of production, it was exactly 2500 mm. The same applies to height. ground clearance, which was 155 mm. In turn, the curb weight of the standard vehicle, on the contrary, significantly decreased due to the use of lighter materials after restyling - initially the mass of the second generation Rio was equal to 1154 kg, and after 2009 it decreased to 1064 kg.
Unlike the exterior, the interior of the second generation Kia Rio has been radically transformed. Frankly cheap materials have become a thing of the past, dust and sound insulation have improved, the layout of the cabin has become much more convenient, ergonomic, and free space has increased for both the front and rear rows of seats. The front panel has received a completely new architecture aimed at ensuring maximum comfort for the driver: access to the controls has been significantly simplified, their location has become more ergonomic, the steering wheel has been redesigned, and the instrument panel has been updated.
Due to the increase in dimensions, the trunk was also increased, and its volume was further increased during the restyling. So the sedan initially has a useful volume luggage compartment was 339 liters, and then increased to 390 liters. In the hatchback, the trunk volume was 270 liters, but with the rear seats folded it increased to 1107 liters. After restyling, the initial volume practically did not change, but in the version with folded back row seats it increased to 1145 liters.
Specifications. Officially in Russia, only modifications were sold with one single gasoline engine... At the plant in Kaliningrad, the second generation Kia Rio was equipped with a 1.4-liter four-cylinder atmospheric unit with a 16-valve DOHC type mechanism, producing no more than 97 hp. maximum power at 6000 rpm. Peak torque this engine accounted for 125 Nm, developed at 4700 rpm. The engine, as in the first generation, was equipped with a 5-speed "mechanics" or a 4-band "automatic".
In terms of dynamic characteristics the second generation Kia Rio did not show anything outstanding, maximum speed the movement of the car was limited to 173 km / h, and the time of the starting acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h on average took about 12.5 - 13.0 seconds.
As for the appetite of the engine, in the city, the car consumed about 7.9 liters per 100 km.
The suspension of the second generation of Rio has retained the same layout, but has become more adapted to Russian roads. The stability of the car was improved by increasing the wheel track, the ABS + EBD system appeared in the basic version of the equipment, and the shock absorber settings were also changed.
Note that there have been significant improvements in the area of security. Kia Rio II was one of the first korean cars who received four stars in the Euro NCAP tests. Unlike the previous generation, in standard equipment The second generation Kia Rio now includes six airbags, front seat belts with pretensioners, and child seat anchorages.
And in terms of equipment, the second generation Kia Rio has added quite noticeably. Already in the basic configuration, this car received a driver's seat with eight adjustments, an audio system, heating rear window, initial power accessories and a range of other equipment.
In 2013, the second generation Kia Rio is very successfully sold in the secondary car market in Russia. A car produced in 2010 can be purchased for an average of 350,000 - 400,000 rubles. The second generation Kia Rio was discontinued in 2011 when it was replaced by a third generation model.
The Korean small car Kia Rio pleases car owners who prefer small-sized and economical cars since 2000. It was then that the first generation sedan and station wagon from the South Korean manufacturer Kia appeared on the European market.
Since then, the Rio has undergone restyling, which subsequently spilled over into the emergence of new generations of the model. For all the time (up to 2016), the concern changed three generations, and along with sedan and station wagon bodies, over time, a hatchback body appeared.
Each of the generations of Kia Rio has not only improved it and options, but also changed its dimensions. Let's take a look at all three generations of Rio to compare their outer dimensions, roominess and carrying capacity.
The dimensions of the first Rio made it possible to qualify it according to European standards as a compact car of class B. Despite this classification, consumers treated this Kia model as a comfortable and inexpensive family car.
After all, the parameters of the car did not quite reach the class C cars.
In terms of external dimensions, it did not differ from the station wagon, because the station wagon created at that time could be attributed rather to something between a station wagon and a hatchback.
You can see how the restyling has greatly changed the concept of the car.
Interesting! It has become wider, longer and lower, which should be noted as an improvement in aerodynamic properties and stability on the road.
Also, the changes in dimensions made the appearance of the car more aggressive and modern.
Internal dimensions, roominess and carrying capacity of the first generation Kia Rio
Despite the fact that Kia positioned its first Rio as a small car, the owners of this model singled out it as a comfortable and roomy car.
The total permissible weight of the sedan before restyling is 1410 kilograms, and the size of its trunk is 326 liters.
Important! After restyling in 2003, full mass decreased to 1390 kilograms, but this is not due to the loss of carrying capacity, but to a decrease in the curb weight of the sedan by 80 kilograms. The volume of the trunk after restyling of the sedan remained the same.
The total permissible weight of the station wagon is more than that of the sedan and amounts to 1,447 kilograms before restyling, with a boot capacity of 449 liters and 1277 liters with the rear seats folded.
After restyling in 2003, the total weight of the station wagon decreased to 1410 kilograms, the reason for the decrease in weight was also a decrease in the curb weight. The trunk size of the restyled station wagon remains the same.
Kia Rio second generation (2005 - 2011)
Unlike the first generation, the second Rio, instead of a shortened station wagon, received a full-fledged hatchback. As in the case of the first Kia Rio, the second generation also underwent restyling at the end of 2009, and in 2010 it appeared on the Russian market.

Kia Rio third generation (2011)
The third generation Rio is produced on the platform of the Korean brothers of the Kia concern - Hyundai i20 and Hyundai solaris.
Restyling of this model was in 2013 and it did not entail global changes, but they began to produce in two versions - a three-door and a five-door.
In terms of external dimensions, the "three-door" does not differ from the five-door hatchback, the same can be said about the restyled version of 2003. Let's compare all three bodies of the third Rio.
