Exterior It's about the exterior of this car that makes it stand out. A compact SUV in the right sense of the word. Very smart cuts and edges make it stand out in a crowd. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Feature are basic, AC&Heater. The dash is outdated, Music system is decent. Space: Comfortable for 4 passengers, 5 could be a squeeze. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine drive a petrol. 1.2L which does let you down at times. Premier still think they are selling the Padmini when in terms of the Petrol engine. Performance: Good. Fuel Economy: (For the Petrol) Needs Improvement. Ride Quality & Handling This is a feature which is the Best for the Rio. We use the vehicle for long drives and have found it very comfortable.  Handling: This is Amazing, when driving winding roads the vehicle holds on to the road superbly. Its in the handling the Rio Proves it SUV feel.  Final Words: Rio is a good buy for the money it comes in. Serves both the city as well as the highway purpose very well. In city when it comes to tight parking places, cramped roads etc. Highways cos of its ground clearance gives the passenger a smooth ride. Areas of improvement After-Sales Service, the company management has roped garagewala to be their official Service station. The Dumbest thing done. How could a customer be satisfied walking into a garage? Very 80's Mentality where once the vehicle is sold you go to garage and get yourself ripped off.Looks Smart & Cute, Good Road Grip , Good Veiw for the DriverMarketing & After Sale Service

Exterior  very good Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)   Clear & more space Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox   Very good Ride Quality & Handling  Very good Final Words Buy the current version without much thought The RiO is now comes with Fiat’s award-winning MultiJet engine under its hood. This BS IV compliant, common-rail turbo-diesel engine generates a whopping 72bhp at 4000rpm. And gives you an unbeatable combination of performance and economy. No wonder, it’s used, under different nomenclatures, in nearly a dozen cars in this country! .It's CRDI engine  is an intelligent way of controlling a diesel engine with use of modern computer systems. CRDI helps to improve the power, performance and reduce harmful emissions from a diesel engine. Conventional Diesel Engines (non-CRDI engines) are sluggish, noisy and poor in performance compared to a CRDI engine. CRDI system uses common rail which is like one single rail or fuel channel which contains diesel compresses at high pressure.  The RiO gives you more! Fantastic looks with a tail mounted spare wheel. A diesel engine that won't empty your wallet. The fun of a rear wheel drive. Easy driveability. Fully loaded. At an excellent price..... An extraordinary combination! Areas of improvement    service net work  Strong & tall with excellent fuel economyimproper attitude of sellers

I brought this car in Jan 2014 with more refined fiat 72 BHP engine as they say it is the same engine maruti and tata is using after driving this car upto leh and ladhk via srinagar what I found is its a value for money as every one is curious to know which company car is this? what is the average? how much does it cost where have you purchase from? & one thing which make me proud is every person looks behind either he is in audi or merc or bmw this make me paise vasol for me. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Not too good but for the family of 4 (we 2 our 2) its ok its has no comparioson with other cars as it is a compact SUV in india we dont have any such compariosion till know. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox As per engine its 72 bhp 1248 cc Fiat Multi jet sparay CRDI 4 Engine its good at 130 KM as after that its quit noisy as its a rear wheel drive its useless to compare it with front wheel dirve cars or SUV. There is Problem with the Gear shift but not big One as one can sort it out just by getting its air out time to time then its fine. same is for breaks too as its ABS with EBD. Ride Quality & Handling For ride I would say I have driven the Rio above 10,000 km in just 3 months on hills and plans and for villages its best one its ok but dont drive over 130 as due to high ground clearence it rides over the road as of air pressure as the SUV is under weight for that speed. Final Words If any one wants too buy you can but dont depend on company as they dont have basic knowledge of this car the dealer form which I buy this car even dont have washing facility if him no spares nothing and one thing interst me that I also email the company to the marketing manger he also dosent replay to me. Areas of improvement After sales service, customer support, advertising of vehicle.Good fuel economy good style better hold as it has ABS with EBDInteriors are quit outdated, less leg room, little noisy in comparison to other makes
