The most popular foreign car in Russia, the Kia Rio, is still gathering dust in official dealers’ warehouses. Although it is quite difficult to find a car in a suitable configuration. For example, in the capital, orders for a model are not accepted at all. Meanwhile, according to the price list, it starts from 1,434,900 rubles for the classic version with an engine of 100 “stallions” and a six-speed manual transmission. If you want to get a two-pedal car, you will have to pay at least 120,000 rubles. In terms of equipment and options, Rio practically copies its cousin in the face of Solaris.
Meanwhile, the elevated hatchback Kia Rio X, formerly known as the X Line, will cost itself from 1,574,900 in Russian currency. Here’s the same 100 horsepower unit, combined with “mechanics”. Only 50,000 more expensive will be the “automatic” version of the model. And with the addition of another “fifty bucks” you can become the owner of a car with a faster 123 horsepower engine. By the way, unlike Rio sedans, dealers still have plenty of hatchbacks.
The compact crossover Kia Soul takes 1,829,900 rubles from the future owner’s wallet. There is already a 123 hp engine. met., aggregated with a manual transmission. Admittedly, you’re unlikely to find the standard version in stock, but the “automatic” cars in the showrooms still have it in some places. But the surcharge for such shipment will be at least 60,000 rubles. Much more will have to be paid for an engine with 150 horsepower – a car in this design will cost at least 2,110,000 rubles. But the “hottest” modification with an engine producing less than 200 forces will force you to spend as much as 2,510,000 rubles. The abundance of options and smart electronics are added as standard.
