2012 Kia Rio

[rio5]

CONGRATS to your new ride, mate!

But oliver1013 is right, it defeats the purpose of owning an econo car.

There is a higher chances that poor fc is more apparent in the hatchback than in the sedans based on local and international threads. I am still hoping Kia will come out with a fix the same way Hyundai "cured" the all-new Accent fc problem in the past.

hi cyberian guess what after 2 days lang ng mag email ako sa kia.com my casa called me on my cel phone this morning they are asking me if i am free on wednesday dalhin daw sa mismo planta at i-test nila rio5 ko sabi ko ill call back to have my appointment,so mga rio5 owners better send email sa kia.com and address your concern,si allan chua ganito din ginawa kaso di pa yata sya available for the test

yes oliver i agree with you lalo na ngayon tumataas na naman gasolina kaya nga rio5 sub compact car choice ko nun kasi kung check nyo website ng kia australia naka lagay nga don tatlo klase na fuel consumption ang rio5 nila urban nasa 12km/liter,semi urban nasa 15km/liter, at highway 20km/liter,

Hi Rio5 - baka pwede sabay sabay nalang tayo para mas malaman ng kia at Columbia na maraming nagrereklamo. kahit naman siguro iba iba tayo ng casa, walang magiging problema dun dahil lahat naman kia at rio. just a suggestion though... hehehe!

[rio5]

hi valacirca ask lang kita kung bago mo ba binili yan rio5 mo alam mo na ba na may FC problem ang hatchback? did you ask your sales agent kung ano fc ng rio5? san casa mo binili? about my car kinakarga ko lang is caltex gold, so far ok naman no knocking issue and smooth ride,and if poor fc does not concern you well congrats its a great car nice features,four months old na rio5 ko nasa 2400km na odometer,the computer tells me im averaging 8km/liter on city driving but manual computation its 7.3km/liter,lagi sya may difference na [.7km]

[rio5]

hey guys gusto ko lang malaman sa thread na ito kung sino-sino na naka rio5,mag roll call tayo,alam ko lang si cyberian,allan chua,c_cube, ako,at si valacirca. paki post thanks

[valacirca]

Thanks for the well-wishes on my purchase. Hehe. Sana ma-satisfy ako dito sa Rio

Guys, ano ba talaga ang fuel efficiency ng Rio dito sa manila traffic so far based sa mga naririnig at nababasa ninyo?

Ako kasi, a typical day would be 16km from home to work in the morning (approx. 6:30am - 8am). Moderate to heavy traffic ito most of the way since I'd be coming from the Cainta border of Pasig, going first to Makati via C5-Kalayaan to drop off my wife, then to The Fort via Ayala-McKinley.

And then the same 16km from work to home at night (approx. 6:30pm - 8pm). The Fort to Makati via Buendia flyover, then back to The Fort via Ayala-McKinley, then to Pasig via C5.

Ganyan ako malamang five days a week.

Wishful thinking ba na makaka-9km/L ako? What would be the most realistic estimate?

Clarification: I'll be driving the 1.4 EX AT Sedan variant of the Kia Rio

i believe sedan or HB FC will be similar.. kaya expect your FC at around 6-7km/l city and 8-9kms mixed

well c_cube try mo muna email kia.com click mo yun intenational then on the lower right click contact us remind them na lahat ng kilala mo naka rio5 may same problem sa fc, mag fill up ka ng info sa car mo at san mo bnili lagay,then fill up mo yun complain mo then next kung ano gusto mo mangyari,ang sinabi ko nga don mag padala kayo ng korean engineer nyo yun nakaka intindi sa engine ng kia rio at6 ayusin nila kung hindi kami na ang una at huli na may rio5 dito sa pinas kasi nga dahil sa thread na ito

ah okay. thanks sir.

In general po ba, how does this FC of the A/T Rio compare to the FC of other A/T subcompacts like the Toyota Vios, Hyundai Accent, Honda City and Ford Fiesta?

Malayong malayo.. ang alam ko vios 1.3 kayang kaya mag 10km/l sa city eh tas yun fiesta 9 km/l sa city at 1.6 pa makina nun ha. Jazz na 1.5 alam ko 9km/l din sa city eh.

Ang estimate ko sa fuel gauge ng rio is 60-70 kms per quarter ng fuel gauge. Kaya pag hindi ka nag manual computatioin, roughly 6-7 km/l talaga kung 43liters nga tank capcity ng rio. At so far nakukuha ko fc using manual computatio is 7.5-8km/l pero mixed driving ako, about 70 city 30 hway.

Kaya kung nag aalala ka sa fc, wag na wag ka mag rio hehehe! But it's still your call in the end

After almost 3 months of asking and observing threads about Rio Hb fc problem, nagdecide pa rin ako kumuha ng Rio Hb. Mga second week of september ko makukuha. I think ill be driving 80% highway, 20% city.
Tingin ko okay fc ng hb sa mga long drive. Ang malakas tlga ay sa mga idle or stop and go. And dami ko din nabasang mga review thread sa ibang countries like sa Canada and US. Almost same lng problem sa atin. Mga almost 2-4mpg difference sa EPA rating. Ang alam kO 1.6 engine yung sa ibang bansa.
I'm very positive na magkakakaron ng solution ang Kia dito sa fc problem knowing na maraming nkaencounter nito. Pero dpat mareport or maemail nga mismo sa Kia International. For sure hindi namam papayag ang Kia na masira sila sa mga clients. And syempre hindi naman din tayo(client) na papayag na babaliwalain lng yung issue kasi pinaghirapan natin yung sasakayan.

Parating plang daw yung Unit Rio Hb sa 2nd week ng september. And sana naman updated version.hehe
Balitaan ko din kayo guys sa magiging fc.

Congrats! We look forward to your positive experience with d Rio5 soon!

In the event your unit comes with the normal acceptable fc for this model, then it would be a positive development and will indeed bring hope to the less fortunate owners of Rio "gas guzzler edition"- that a fix is definitely and realistically coming.

Although hoping not so but should it has the same fc problem, well, welcome to the club mate!

[c_cube]

well c_cube try mo muna email kia.com click mo yun intenational then on the lower right click contact us remind them na lahat ng kilala mo naka rio5 may same problem sa fc, mag fill up ka ng info sa car mo at san mo bnili lagay,then fill up mo yun complain mo then next kung ano gusto mo mangyari,ang sinabi ko nga don mag padala kayo ng korean engineer nyo yun nakaka intindi sa engine ng kia rio at6 ayusin nila kung hindi kami na ang una at huli na may rio5 dito sa pinas kasi nga dahil sa thread na ito

nag email na ako.. tignan ko kung ano magiging action ng dealer ko.

sinabi ko sa email na buti pa yun optima nila at sonata 2.4 ang makina pero 6 km/l sa city which is normal for it's displacement. pero sa 1.4 it's a JOKE hahaha!

hey composite congrats sa soon to be ride mo,actually talagang fc lang concern ko dito sa first batch ng rio5 sana yan mga bagong dating na yan eh naayos na at may dalang bagong ECU upgrade,right now i think medyo ok fc ko this week kasi naka auto climate control sa 23 degrees lang at yun tire pressure ginawa ko 35psi sa dating 32psi

[rio5]

hi valacirca im a toyota user since 1992 last car ko is the 2007 vios first gen 1.5 A/T kung sa ride almost the same sya ng vios ko minus the sound of compressor yun kasi sa rio wala ka marinig na kahit ano kaya kala mo naka fan ka lang pati yun fan motor di mo madinig sa toyota alam mo na tumatakbo 2nd speed ng auxcillary fan,sa fc naman sa vios ko average ako 8-9 km per liter city driving, best ko 17km going to zambales. kahit sana umabot ako ng 8km man lang sa rio ko ok na, pero di ko pa din ma achieve.mga nasa 7.5km lang top ko dito sa rio

Guys, try stretching your legs for a bit and take a long trip for your break-in....it usually helps the engine adjust into running conditions. Drive nyo lang* speeds 100kmh+ pra adjustment sa vehicle nyo tapos 60-80kmh on your way back home (its the tipid speed limit sa na observe ko driving our 2007 4a/t 2.0 gas carens...i usually drive between 80-130kmh and got an estimate of 13-14kpl driving fro cdo to butuan)...maybe it could help fuel economy... Mas better daw performance nang engines kpag nag lolongdistance every now and then

[ejgambe]

Maybe they fitted rio5 a/t with hi-speed gears ? They dont pull well driving through high slopes but the run fast in planes, like the old bmw's are fitted with. Slow on the accel but once they get speed its hard slowing down lol

Thanks sir Rio5. Ano po fc nyo sa ganung setting? Actually according sa nabasa kong thread sa ibang bansa, may mga ganung suggestion. 35 psi daw dpat yung sa tire pressure and para naman sa ac nkkaapekto daw tlga sa power and fuel consumption. Pero hindi ko lng alam kung anong best setting. But, according po sa inyo sir Rio5, may malaking improvement. And syempre mga driving habits and break-in din daw.

Pagnakuha ko na po yung Rio Hb. Itest ko muna po sa normal settings para mlaman ko kung same pa rin fc tulad sa iba. Kung same lng po(hopefully hnd sana) yung fc. Ill try din po yung ganung settings nyo sir Rio5. 80 highway 20 city po yung travel ko.

Thanks Sir. Hopefully okay na po fc nitong bagong batch ng Rio Hb. I'm very positive that Kia will address this fc issue. Kya in spite of the problem, kumuha pa rin ako.
