    Unique Car

    It makes me feel unique when I'm driving Rio. It's not a common car on roads. Seats are made for long traveling.Read More

    Premier Rio Outdated Looks with Good Mileage

    This review would be behalf of my friend and my experience with the car. My friend bought this car about 4 years ago and when I saw this car for the first time I felt it like a cross-breed of safari and gypsy. The car has outdated looks and I have no doubts about that. I mean if you cannot give a car a nice stylish look, what?s the point of pricing it so high. Moreover, who will buy the car from a company which is almost unknown or mysterious to the people of the country? However, the plus point of the car as per my friend?s input is the mileage that stands around 14kmpl in cities and 18kmpl on highways, which is pretty good for an SUV. Interiors are not bad but I would like to remind the ergonomically embarrassment the awkwardly positioned power window switches can cause to anyone. The engine and suspension are quite user-friendly but the price Rio asks for quality, interior space and comfort, cannot match even similarly priced hatchbacks. In my opinion, someone who ignores Ford EcoSport and buys this SUV will be in loss.Read More

    Good looks but not so good on pocket with 12.5 kmpl milage

    When a car is manufactured to attract new generation, mid level customers it becomes truly very important to give emphasis on a decent mileage of the car. All cars now a days are not luxury, a car is not always meant for communicating purpose, for some, a car sometimes it is a freedom, one is free when s/he drives for a long distance to explore new roads new lands or beauty of nature....and then if suddenly comes the hurdle in the form of empty fuel tank that truly makes an impact on mind, the zeal vanishes, tension creeps on mind and if the person is in the middle of an unknown place far from the destination where there is not a single shop available to make a single phone call, s/he feels the mistake of buying an SUV. SUV lovers buy these vehicles for their looks, dimension, power and most importantly the off road capability. They are preferred not by all types of customers, there is a certain segment of customers for these vehicles. Those who love SUVs they only love SUVs. Considering the preference for these vehicles producer must also take into account the mileage, after all it is not a city car nor even a racing car that one can pour oil as and when needed in the middle of the city. Where other SUVs at this price range is giving far better mileage, how the car will fair in Indian market where money matters a lot. This car has a very impressive look, 5 seater, off road capability, a decent but though not a great interior, which is enough for an SUV at this price range. This is not a high price- range car which means, this car is not produced for the premium customers for whom recurring cost is not on the top of the list and yes it true that it is not from a popular passenger car manufacturing company, for a company having only one passenger car in their catalogue how they can penetrate into this market giving a poor mileage and can get attention from customer. To win hearts of million of car lovers and in this current competitive market it is important to look into every aspects of a car from looks to comfort and yes it seems it flairs in every aspect. This car is a Rio from different aspects but Rhino on pocket!Read More
