Good SUV RIO
12 years ago | Rameez Khurshed
Premier as an auto brand doesn’t require any introduction and Neither does the rio...love the power in the new diesel engine.I was in mumbai and took the rio for a test drive at the chembur dealer. The Alloy Wheels with ABS made me feel safer in the RiO and the drive is well balanced too! The car has an very easy gear and gave me the perfect feeling of being in a Suv. The rio and even tried it on a uneven road the suspension soaks up most of the jolts as it irons out the shocks on rough and uneven surfaces.Although small the car did produce the kind of power i imagined with the new diesel engine. Also i liked the fact that the back seats were adjustable which gave it an upper edge when compared to newer vehicles in the market today. I like the RiO mini SUV !

Compact, Cheapest and Best mileage SUV
11 years ago | Rajiv Kadam
Great exterior look comparable to any luxury cars of higher segments. Excellent proportion and form better than any hatchbacks in the market. The high road clearance is a great feeling and fun to drive on highways and off roads. Great vehicle for long travels.

Interior is good and comfortable for me as I am not looking for great luxury. Good seat colors, dashboard and the basic is there. The seats both front and back are very comfortable and good leg space. The back seats fold flat and it is great for my labrador for outing. The music system and sound is not good as I listen to blues, rock and jazz while driving.

The engine is great with the best fuel economy. I bought the car one month ago and went for 200km drive it gave me an average of 22km/l without AC driving at 80km consistantly and in city it gives me 16km-17km/l.

Driving is realy smooth and great feeling I am enjoying it and very happy with the car. It is best car for city as well as highway.

A great car and value for money with great feelings.

Music and sound system need to be better. The width can be increased by 6 inches and it will make lot of difference. Front grill and lights can be with better looks as good as the back.
Best fuel economy, Best look, Great Experience in driving and affordable priceThe front look is not good, width a bit narrow and bad music system

Its a value for money no car in this cost provide ABS with EBD
10 years ago | Sanjeev Verma
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
