KIA Rio YB 1.0 T-GDI 100 GT Line - Long-range vehicle

Whether you can cover long distances with the KIA Rio? If one asks the question whether this car is also suitable for longer distances, one has to consider different aspects, comfort, tank volume, top speed...

The tank capacity (45 liters) is rather average in size, but in conjunction with the good average consumption (5 liters / 100km), you can sometimes cover very long ranges with the KIA Rio. An important criterion for frequent drivers: the top speed. This is 188 km/h and is thus quite suitable for long distances if you don't want to permanently stay above the 200 mark. Comfort and interior space are at least as important on long journeys. With 4070 mm length, the car is rather one of the smaller ones. You should not expect too much comfort here (suspension, seat upholstery, noise insulation).

The integrated distance cruise control ensures both safe and relaxed travel by automatically maintaining both the speed and the distance to the vehicle in front. Of course, air conditioning is a must for comfortable journeys. Here, even an automatic air conditioning system is installed, i.e. the air volume and temperature is automatically adjusted to the interior temperature, while a simple air conditioning system has to be operated manually.

The KIA Rio achieves decent ranges thanks to its moderate average consumption, but as a compact-class vehicle it is often deprived of comfort features such as comfortable seats suitable for long journeys and appropriate noise insulation. Be sure to check possible additional options. Therefore, a limited recommendation for frequent drivers.
