Excellent Service

Premier Rio is a good car for the lowest budget, we will appreciate to all viewer take it.

The looks are awesome. The driving is comfortable. The features are great.

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

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 The car has outdated looks and I have no doubts about that.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.

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!

I own a Rio LX with ABS model. Purchased it on Jan 2012, biggest mistake ever done. Mileage never exceeds 12kmpl under whatever circumstances you drive the vehicle. The service network in Mumbai is pathetic as the service centres are outsourced to untrained professionals. Getting parts is an 'earth moving task', most of the times even the company does not have spares. I recently went through an ordeal of getting some suspension work done and believe me it was a task getting parts. Most spares had to be swapped with parts of some other vehicle. A strict no.

Rio is little yet comfortable SUV. My Dad purchased this small SUV 2 years back. Its engine performance is excellent. Our Premier Rio gives 20 km/l of mileage. Its features are also pretty good. We travelled with our SUV at many different places but its performance never let us down. It has been always very good. My Rio machine comfortably ran over the roads of Himachal (Hilli areas) with inclined roads. Its ground clearance is high which help me to drive on offroads without fearing of getting the undercar structure touch the surface. Overall its a great car especially with the small price tag it carries.

Look and Style The only good thing, which traps customer to a danger car Comfort Seats are not comfortable and low quality Pickup Bad at hills and offroad, not a SUV type Mileage Not great Best Features. Needs to improve Need to Improve on almost everything, Engine which most of the customer had to replace engines, the company has imported all the parts from China which are of inferior quality. The Brakes and other important parts fails to work all of sudden even with regular service at authorised service station. The Car has a bad gear system which stucks in the 2nd gear, company failed to overcome the defect. Vibration is too much for an so called SUV, at times the music in the car cannot be heard. Overall Experience Very bad,
