Improving the design of structural elements and adding new options undoubtedly refreshes the attitude to already become familiar models. It is clear that this is always an increase in prices for the final consumer. Having undergone restyling, Kia Rio will start selling from us already on the first of April. As far as exterior innovations have changed the cost of Kia Rio, it will be officially announced on the day of sales, however, as often happens in such cases, prices already do not constitute a secret. Whether the rise in the cost of the changes made by restaylers is adequate, let's try to figure it out together.

The main model of the Kia Rio will be a sedan with a 1.4-liter heart under the hood, combining 107 horsepower, in a comfortable version. The price of it, compared with the old version, has grown by forty-five thousand rubles and will be at least 559,900 rubles. Components of this model has not changed, not counting the minor nuances in the design of the car. Exactly the same sedan, but with an integrated air conditioning system, referring to it not just to the "comfortable" version, but to the version of "Comfort AC", went up by twenty-five thousand and began to cost 589,900 rubles. But even here, no constructive changes have been made, which could have been written off with a calm heart. An even more advanced version of the Comfort RS has not grown just a hundred rubles to six hundred thousand round. Here there are changes, according to the logic of things, which reduce the cost of the total cost, because the head unit and the buttons on the steering wheel, which controlled the audio system in the previous version, were removed from the configuration during restyling. However, such a “cheapening” did not prevent the price from rising by seventeen thousand wooden ones. The most expensive Kia Rio with a 107-horsepower engine has become a model equipped with a four-stage automatic, its minimum price tag will start at 640,000 rubles.

In the restyled lineup, the Kia Rio has a package called "Comfort RS +".

Fog disappeared from the updated version of the Luxe version, but it became possible to adjust the steering column. For 660 thousand rubles you can buy a car with a manual transmission, the version with an automatic transmission will be worth forty thousand more. Compared with the old version, the price tag has grown by almost twenty thousand rubles.

Prestige grade rose by 55 thousand rubles. The current price of these models on mechanics is 730 thousand, the version with the "automatic" will cost forty thousand more. But this sedan, in addition to the steering adjustment function, received lenses for halogen headlights, a device for heating the windshield and wiper nozzles, light sensors and daytime running lights on LEDs.
