2012 Kia Rio

[ratchet23]

by the way, here are the pricing....

entry level (1.2): 598k
a/t (1.2): 718k
deluxe a/t (1.4): 838k

pricing ba all hatch?

[rockiee_s]

the pricing of the are for the sedans except for the deluxe which is for the hatch.

puro upgraded version yata ang lalabas na hatch kasi walang binigay na ibang price except for the deluxe version.

[foifoi05]

with that price, and engine options... mapapaisip ka sa Honda Jazz


i was hoping they'd price it hawig sa Fiesta or Mazda2

[rockiee_s]

[B]i was supposed to get a ford fiesta s. at 826,000. ok na lahat. was about to give my down payment already. until i found the "go get real" fb account of kia. so, i went to check the new rio. if you compare the two, sobrang ganda ng new kia rio. at 838,000 i think it is a better deal.

yun nga lang, di ko pa nakita ang hatch na ilalabas dito kasi nga sample (euro version) ang inexhibit nila.

OT:

You still have your coolbear bro?

[rockiee_s]

hi renzo. musta? long time, no see (here at tsikot).

yes, its 1 1/2 years old na. walang pinagbago. walang kaproble-problema (unlike the news i hear from the new hyundai accent owners. hehehe). its almost 5k mileage now. laging out of town while im here (every 2-3 months).

medyo malaki-laki lang kasi ang bonus (thank God at nag peak na naman ang Macau Casinos) at nabiyayaan this year kaya i decided to get another car.

[reuelc]

price is not competitive i think if that is true. cant wait for the launch of the new rio come january.

[rockiee_s]

and its confirmed....push to start na sya!!!!

[Starex_Gold]

and its confirmed....push to start na sya!!!!

Wow!

Daig pa Sportage ko

[alwayz_yummy]

lines ng new picanto, rio parang di nalalayo sa lines ng carens ko... late naman dumating to..

[rockiee_s]

daig naman ng sportage ang rio in all other way.....hehehe.

pero yung push to start, sa de luxe version lang. i'm sure madami pa ring magiging taxi na rio sedan kasi malaki nga sya compared to the older versions. at 598k lang.

[Starex_Gold]

Ano kaya features nung 1.2 A/T sedan ano..

Kasi ang laki ng difference dun sa 1.2 M/T.

[rockiee_s]

nakakita na ako. sa kia alabang. walang difference, only the transmission na cvt.

pero ang gulo gulo pa rin nila kasi pabago bago pa rin mga press releases nila. initially, sabi lahat ng variants, 17 ang size ng rim (continental ang brand ng tires). pero yung nakita ko, naka 16 lang at di ko kilala ang brand ng tires.

[rockiee_s]

baka rin mali ang sabi nila na instead of 1.2, baka 1.4 kaya malayo din ang difference. di ko naitanong kahapon when i viewed the units.

[rockiee_s]

by the way, ang designer ng new kia rio is Massimo Franscella who used to be a designer of ford, land rover, aston martin and jaguar. before he designed the new rio, he designed the new sportage.

even yung lower variants nga pala ng new rio, naka led daytime lights.

[Starex_Gold]

Actually the new Kia Sportage is designed by Peter Schreyer. Former Audi designer. Now the chief designer of Kia Motors.

He designed
Kia Sorento (2010)
Kia K7 / Cadenza
Kia Sportage (2011)
Kia Optima (2011)
Kia Forte
Kia Forte Koup
Kia Soul

[rockiee_s]

they all said in kia that it was massimo while peter supervised it.

[Starex_Gold]

^ Siguro.. Kasi si Peter yung Chief designer. Galamay niya si Massimo

[rockiee_s]

ang gagaling ng designers....excited na tuloy masyado ako. hehehe....sana walang knocking problem kasi gamma 1.4 din ang engine.

Join po agad kayo sa Club Rio Philippines kapag nakakuha na kayo ng unit niyo... just search it on your facebook... Mukhang hindi pwede sakin yang 2012 Rio, mabubugbog ko yang 1.2 engine. Ok na ko sa 2011 1.4 ko. Fogs lang siguro kaiinggitan ko dito and yung Head Unit kung 2DIN na siya. Don't need the DRL na kasi I have my Projector HID with angel eyes na.
