@@florindragos5238 In Eco mode you have this "sailing" feature, and early engine stop when slowing down to reach a full stop (some times too early, imho). In Normal mode the electric engine gives some power when moving in first gear from a full stop. In Sport mode the electric engine gives additional power each time you demand more acceleration, plus it revs the normal engine to match the optimal rpm while switching gear
Have a Suzuki with the boosterjet hybrid, first thing I do is turn off the stop start, cant stand the fact it shuts of the aircon or the heating when the engine shuts down, if it’s really warm out the car heats up quick is your stopped for a while.
i do like the rio but i opted for the ceed just for the extra power from the 1.5 turbo and bigger boot. still like the rio but the ceed just that little bigger where it counts. always gerat videos
Marek have you tried the "new" Rio with the 1.2 84HP naturally aspirated engine? If you have, what do you think about the refinement, consumption and whether its sufficient for some highway driving?
Since Marek can't be bothered to answer i will answer you. I have 2021 Rio 84hp and i must say that if you have any aspirations for sporty driving look for something else. Engine is only suitable for calm and easy driving. It's not suitable for highway because it has only 5 gears. Consumption is approximately 5L if you drive very carefully, if not then it goes to 7L/100km.
About the colour the real question would be if when she shines she really shows you all she can? And about roadholding if she dances on the sand just like that river twisting through a dusty land?
That coasting/sailing feature is still a mystery to me... I'm trying to imagine what's going on with the thrust bearing and the gearbox when the car is coasting and every time I cringe a little. I'm not sure that they are going to last very long if that system is engaged often (like in a city environment). Besides, I wouldn't feel comfortable in traffic with a stopped engine. Other than that, a nice looking car!
@Stefan S. I'm sure they thought of that when they designed the bearing. A dual clutch transmission has pressure on one of the two throwout bearings all the time as well.
What's a mystery to me is why they're selling cars with manual transmissions still. Sailing is nothing new, my DSG 4Motion Passat does it as well but it doesn't stop the engine because it isn't a mild hybrid so it needs to keep the systems powered while the car is moving. I had an Audi A3 mild hybrid with a DSG as a loaner during my last service and it stopped the engine while coasting. Absolutely no problem. The engine cuts in again when you need it. You don't need to think about any of it.
I would've thought a better sailing implementation would be to turn the injectors off and open the throttle butterfly all the way to make the engine a wheel powered air pump. Wouldn't have to worry about an electronic clutch actuator and a heavy duty release bearing. 🤷
@@Anonymous-ib8so Yaris is definately more interesting to look at. Someone likes it and some don't. This Rio design is a bit classic IMHO. Also with Yaris you get automatic and quite better fuel economy.
@@Gintonic91 Yaris length: 3.94m width: 1.745m height: 1.5m Boot capacity 286L | New Rio: length 4.065m width: 1.725m height: 1.45m Boot capacity: 325L. So yeah Rio is a bit longer but it is not so tall and boot is bigger on paper. I guess we need in person test drive! Just how often you use that boot loaded fully?
At least the previous model had really, REALLY bad sound proofing. It's a shame, because it was quite OK car in many other respects, but the constant roar of the tyres was just totally unbearable.
@@Anonymous-ib8so Since when Kia is a reliable brand? Go buy Toyota, anything from Volkswagen. I've heard too much horror stories from new Kia owners, their warranty isn't even 7 year, it's 2 year for some electric components, 3 years for others, 7 years is for literally engine block exploding, have you read it? It's 2021, almost all cars are reliable except for Italian ones, have you been living under the rock? "Don't you care about reliabilty" - fk me, this question is retarded
@@dimitriscsd it's fine get a Kia, I have both and I like both Volkswagen and Kia :D New cars are usually reliable, I don't drive anything older than 3 years, cannot tell

Awesome video! I just bought this car and I'm loving it.
I was wondering if it's safe to put things next to the battery in the trunk under the tray?
Please consult the user manual included with the car.
Hello, I also want to buy the mild hibrid. How does this mild hybrid help you?

If you can afford it why would you ever buy the smaller car?

Back in 2004, the Kia Rio was the same size as a Golf but was cheaper.
I was hoping for new 308 review this Friday
We all were, but press cars will arrive maybe this year.
nice shoes
6 months usage for heated seats 😂. Oh poland 🤍❤
My Portuguese brain was thinking "doesn't he mean 6 days usage?" 🇵🇹
Oh trust me this is a must have if your car does not have a separate heater.

I don't think it's mechanically different than engaging the clutch while the car is moving, and then releasing the clutch to return to thrust mode.
Huh? It’s a clutch.

For this price and size, the fuel consumption is really bad.
I think nowdays Toyota Yaris Hybrid would be a better buy for around 21 000 eur.
Yaris is much smaller than Rio

Good review.
As far as I can see, absolutely no reason to buy one.

7 year warranty.
cheap to insure and cheap road tax.
