Both cars are equipped with a 1.4-liter engine with a capacity of 107 horsepower, or a 1.6-liter and 123 hp. With. Both mechanical and automatic transmissions are installed on the Rio.

Compact middle class

This segment is completely and unconditionally ruled by Ceed from KIA. The range of cars is very diverse.

Regular Ceed - a five-door hatchback with a bold appearance. The car has already gone through two restyling and in the latest version received many additional modifications, which will be discussed below.

The first version is Ceed SW. It is a station wagon. A three-door version of the Kia Sid Pro followed. Both the five-door and three-door variant received sports versions with the GT prefix. Such cars are more expensive (from 1,200,000 rubles), but they drive much faster and more interesting, as they have a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with 204 horsepower installed under the hood.

Thus, the Ceed model has 4 modifications, in addition to the standard 5-door hatchback.

Business Class

There are two representatives of KIA here. The executive lineup consists of Optima and Quoris.

Optima is more aboutordinary business class, without pretensions to luxury. Outwardly, the model strongly resembles Rio, thereby determining the attitude of others towards it. However, this opinion is erroneous. The cost of Optima starts from 1,200,000 rubles.

Quoris is a large and imposing sedan. Of the Korean competitors in its class, it is opposed only by Equus from Hyundai. Koreans have learned how to make luxury sedans, and they are much cheaper than their European competitors. The starting price of Quoris is 2,400,000 rubles.

Minivans

In the class of urban minivans, there is modestly one model - Venga. In terms of dimensions, the car is more reminiscent of Picanto. But inside the car is surprisingly spacious. The price of the model starts from 800,000 rubles.

SUVs and crossovers

Kia Sportage is the company's most popular crossover. High quality, comfort and low price (from 900 thousand rubles) created a high demand for this car.

Soul is the youngest crossover. The car is more like a minivan due to its square shape. A very unusual car, which, unfortunately, is not often seen on the roads.

Sorento is an old-timer of the company. Survived more than one restyling and more than one generation. The big family SUV has a luxury version of Prime.

Mohave is the flagship SUV of the Korean company. The price for the minimum configuration is 2,300,000 rubles. Big and powerful, the Mohave feels like the king of the road in all conditions and terrain. Outside the asph alt, the car also manifests itselfworthy.
