Kia Rio tank volume, how many liters is the Kia Rio gas tank

Where is the gas tank located?

On Russian roads, a car like the Kia Rio is common. The car is popular among car enthusiasts because it meets the stated expectations and has a high degree of safety. The fuel tank is no exception, and therefore is also designed in compliance with all safety rules.

Manufacturers placed the gas tank in the rear of the car, near the luggage compartment. At the same time, a sufficient distance is maintained from the structure to the rear bumper. In an emergency, in the event of a rear collision of the car, this position will protect passengers in the cabin.

The distance between the fuel tank and the rear bumper is at least 0.5 meters.

The size is selected in accordance with the requirements of the Safety Regulations, as is the volume of the gas tank itself.

Kia Rio options

Kia Rio 2022 has some disadvantages

Nissan x trail fuel tank capacity.
technical specifications nissan x-trail t32. interior and trunk volume - Ground clearance has not changed and is 160 mm. By the way, cars leaving the factory do not have metal underbody protection. There is only a plastic boot here.

— The air intake has too large cells. Pebbles flying from the road can damage the radiator.

— The trunk lid hinges still protrude inward. The trunk lid has another drawback. There is no button here. That is, you can open it either from the key fob or using a lever from the interior. But to come up and throw some things, you won’t be able to open the trunk so easily.

— The income of wipers on the driver’s side is not great. Approximately 5 - 6 cm of dirt remains on the left side of the windshield. In winter, of course, such a width of the blind zone is overkill.

— The transformation of the interior is so-so, because the rear seats do not recline towards the horizon, about 15 degrees, but there is a kind of “step”. The passage from the trunk to the cabin is relatively small. Large dimensions will not fit through.

— The height at the back has decreased by almost 4 cm and tall people are already supporting the ceiling with their heads.

— There is also no center armrest in the back seat.

— Again, the Koreans saved on the second pocket on the back of the driver’s seat.

The passenger windows do not have an auto mode.

Two words about the trunk. Two, because little has changed. The volume is almost the same - 480 liters. Compared to Solaris, access is slightly worse, but many will not notice it. It's more of a design issue at the rear of the car. In particular, changes to the suspension.

The trunk of the Kia Rio 2022 can be opened using the key fob. Trunk capacity has been slightly reduced due to suspension changes

Kia Rio 2022 now has nice little things for passengers and the owner of the car

— Driver's window with automatic mode in both directions. — The maximum configuration already has a rear view camera with dynamic prompts. In poorer trim levels there is a graphic chamber. - At the back of the seat, the height has increased by 4 mm. The increase in the legs was 2.5 cm, and almost 2 cm in width. Of course, the changes are not dramatic, but, as they say, it’s a small thing, but still nice. The seating position has become more comfortable, although tall people will still rest their knees on the backs of the seats and their heads on the ceiling. - Now in the rich versions of the Rio there is a two-stage heated seat cushion. A central headrest has also appeared.

Warm options package:

- heated steering wheel; - fully heated windshield; - heated rear seat cushion.

Another good thing is the adjustable armrest. It has a small box with even a soft floor. This partly compensates for the small glove compartment on the dashboard, into which you cannot put an A4 sheet without folding it in half.

Let's summarize the review

It turns out that the new generation Kia Rio has become a little more spacious, but not revolutionary. Acoustic comfort has gotten worse. The ride quality has improved and the chassis has become more pleasant. The design is interesting. It will attract many people, especially the youth audience. They target young people aged 25 – 35 years. But if you look at this car as something social, then basically, of course, everything will be decided by the price. Prices for the new Kia Rio 2022 have already been announced (670,000 - 990,000 rubles) and depend on the nuances of the configuration. This is several tens of thousands more than the previous generation car. And now this is a blow. The blow was the same as for Solaris, whose sales fell by about 30%. Although there is another factor. A crossover stole some customers from Solaris. The Kia Rio will most likely have a similar situation. What kind of crossover does the Kia Rio have? Well, first of all, there will be a Rio hatchback within a year. Secondly, almost certainly all the rumors are true and there will be a hatchback with increased ground clearance and an off-road body kit. That is, a kind of Renault Sandero Stepway in Korean. It’s simply impossible not to notice Spepway’s success. That's all. Good luck with choosing a new car!

How the fuel tank works

The control of unlocking the hatch for refueling the car with gasoline can be carried out automatically or manually. To open automatically, you need to pull the lever located on the floor on the left side of the driver's seat. The fuel filler door can be opened manually from outside the vehicle. The plug should be removed by turning it counterclockwise, with extreme caution as the fluid may be under pressure.

The fuel tank is constructed of high-strength duralumin alloy. A sealed container is obtained by welding two stamped parts. In addition to the filler neck through which fuel enters the container, the gas tank consists of:

• from the pump for supplying gasoline through the lines to the power system;
• adsorber for collecting fuel vapors;
• fastening tape;
• fuel pipe and filter.

To avoid leaks, you can check the tightness of the tank using a compressor and a hose: supply air to the vessel, ensuring a pressure of 2 atmospheres.

After this, excess pressure is released using a fitting or safety valve.

Fuel tank repair

The process of eliminating damage (holes, cracks, etc.) that causes a leak in the tank in the KIA Rio involves the use of epoxy resins or “cold welding”. The resin is sold complete with a hardener. The surface of the tank with the repair area must first be cleaned and then degreased using anti-silicone. Due to the tendency to set quickly, the resin and hardener must be mixed before the very moment of application.

If we use “cold welding,” then it should also be kneaded well and subsequently sculpted into something similar to a flat patch.

We apply such a patch to the damaged area on the KIA Rio tank, making sure to rub its edges into the metal surface. We wait for the moment of hardening (at least an hour), after which the restored tank can be used. The “welding” substance does not react with fuel, oils and other automotive fluids.

How many liters are in the Kia Rio gas tank?

The tank for the Kia Rio is available in three possible volumes: 43, 45 or 50 liters. How many liters of gas tank in a Kia Rio depends on the generation of the car (body type or restyling does not affect this indicator):

• In the first generation, the gas tank is designed to hold 45 liters of fuel.
• The tank volume of the 2nd generation Kia Rio will be 45 liters in any modification of this car.
• For 3rd generation models, for example, Kia 2012 and 2014, as well as Kia Rio restyling 2015, the capacity will be 43 liters.
• In any configuration of Kia Rio 2016 and 2022 4th generation – 50 liters.

According to the size of the gas tank, all cars can be divided into categories: small cars (tank volume up to 50 liters), cars with medium power (50-70 liter capacity), powerful SUVs (over 70 liters). Kia Rio designers installed gas tanks with a volume of 43-50 liters in their cars.

You can find out the volume of the Kia Rio 3 fuel tank from the corresponding technical documentation of the car, at a car dealership or from the former owner of the vehicle. In practice, 2-3 liters of fuel are placed more than the amount indicated in the data sheet.

Specifications

The new Kia Rio 2022 offers buyers two types of engine:

• volume of 1.4 liters and power of 107 horsepower;
• with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 123 horsepower.

However, in this model the engine was slightly modernized.
Thus, the updated engine received a redesign of the fuel system and began to consume a little less fuel when driving in mixed mode. The remaining technical characteristics of the Kia Rio received the following changes:

1. Complete suspension redesign. The manufacturer has made more careful tuning of the suspension and further adapted the car to driving on non-ideal road surfaces.
2. Increased controllability. The company's engineers made adjustments to the operation of power steering systems. The new car model has become much better to drive and has received many positive reviews from happy owners.

The characteristics of fuel consumption in various driving modes are presented:

1. City mode. In this driving scenario, a set of a 1.4-liter engine and a manual transmission consumes 7.2 liters per hundred kilometers. The automatic transmission increases fuel consumption to 8.5 liters. The older modification of the engine with a simple gearbox consumes 8 liters, and with an automatic transmission – 8.9 liters.
2. Mixed mode. A lower-power engine with a manual transmission consumes 5.7 liters in this driving mode. Installing an automatic transmission increases fuel costs to 6.4 liters per hundred kilometers. A 1.6-liter engine with a manual transmission consumes 6 liters when driving in the combined cycle. The automatic increases consumption to 6.1 liters.
3. Driving along the highway. When driving on the highway, the younger version of the engine consumes 4.8 liters with manual transmission and 5.1 liters with automatic transmission. The older engine under the same conditions consumes 4.8 and 5.3 liters, respectively.

Rules for filling the gas tank

The fuel level arrow on the instrument console in the car indicates how many liters are left in the Kia Rio tank. If it approaches zero, this indicates that the tank needs to be refilled. In some cars, the on-board computer may notify you of this. It will not only show how many liters of gasoline are in the tank of the Kia Rio 3, but will also calculate the distance for which it will last. If the warning light on the instrument panel has already come on, it means the fuel level is critically low. In this case, you urgently need to find a gas station.

If the engine does stall, this may result in overheating of the fuel pump of an injection car and, as a result, a reduction in its service life. To avoid damage to the pump and frantic running around in search of gasoline, it is recommended to always have about 10 liters in reserve and avoid driving “on light bulbs”.

Before filling, you need to determine what kind of gasoline to fill.

The car's operating instructions or on the inside of the gas tank hatch usually indicate the brand of recommended fuel.

After the car owner has approached the gas station pump from the side where the fuel tank is located, you need to turn off the engine and open the hatch by pressing the lever or manually. Unscrew the cap and insert a pistol with the required gasoline into the neck. Pour in the required amount of gasoline and carefully pull out the gun so that all residue from the hose gets into the tank and not onto the paintwork of the car.

When refueling your car, you should remember a few basic rules:

1. Never shine a lighter into the gas tank.
2. Don't forget to take out the refueling nozzle and hang it back.
3. Be sure to close the tank after refueling.

Many benefits

A car converted to run on gas has many advantages over its mono-fuel counterparts: increased range, less load on the engine piston group, improved environmental characteristics - but the main motivation for converting to gas is still the economic component.

Since 1996, the main activity has been the installation of gas equipment (LPG). Gas equipment has become widespread in Russia and our company is a leader in the field of converting cars to gas.

Why shouldn't you fill your tank completely?

It is recommended to fill the full volume of the Kia Rio 3 fuel tank with gasoline in two cases:

• The first is when you plan to travel a long distance. A full tank will minimize or completely eliminate the risk of refueling at a questionable gas station along the route.
• The second case is parking the vehicle for a long time. The formation of condensation on the walls of the vessel will be reduced, and the fuel tank will not rust.

If you constantly fill the car's tank to its full capacity, there is a high probability of failure of the ventilation system. Modern cars have a complex ventilation system with three valves: gravity, electromagnetic and ventilation. When driving a car with a fuel tank filled under the cap, gasoline will begin to flow through the ventilation valves onto the muffler and brake discs, which are heated to a high temperature while driving. The ingress of fuel liquid in this case can lead to a fire or even explosion of the car.

Weather

The climate of Abakan is classified as sharply continental, with consistently hot but short summers and very frosty long winters. There is little precipitation during the year, which is typical for this type of climate. True, precipitation operates according to the principle “rarely, but accurately.” Where have you seen snow on the streets in summer? We answer: in Abakan! Thanks to the proximity to the mountains, snow flakes can fall in any month, even in summer. Residents do not complain, since they have long been accustomed to the vagaries of the weather, but guests of the city may become uncomfortable from such surprises. But just look at where Abakan is on the map, and it will become clear that you need to stock up on warm clothes when going there.

Advantages and disadvantages

The vehicle has been used by representatives of the domestic market almost since its release. During this period, advantages were noted in:

1. beautiful and stylish appearance;
2. spacious interior with modern electronics;
3. spacious trunk;
4. simple instrument panel;
5. effective and reliable braking system;
6. modern optics;
7. equipping the updated model;
8. affordable cost and simple maintenance.

The disadvantages of the Kia Rio 2022 station wagon include:

1. low noise insulation;
2. the use of hard, low-quality plastic when decorating a car;
3. use of budget finishing materials;
4. the design does not provide lateral support;
5. the seats have a low comfort rating due to their rigidity;
6. lack of a diesel engine;
7. Periodic failures in the automatic transmission were noted.

The disadvantages are less significant than the advantages, but when operating a vehicle in domestic conditions they can create a number of inconveniences.

Electronics

Kia Rio 2 2006 includes all the equipment necessary for comfortable movement. Depending on the modification, the car is equipped with seat belts with several fastening options, six airbags, heated windows, and multiple driver seat adjustment modes. In addition, some trim levels received a climate control system, as well as a high-quality audio installation.

Additionally, electronics options can be ordered, including electric mirrors, power windows, keyless entry into the car, interior lighting, and heated rear-view mirrors.

Among the shortcomings of electronics, owners note interruptions in the operation of climate control controls. The defect manifests itself in the fact that during a trip the system stops working, however, upon reaching a car service center, it may unexpectedly return to normal on its own. Buttons for power windows and heated windows have a short service life, which is undoubtedly a big drawback.

Design

The new model, in comparison with the previous version, has become more Asian. This effect was achieved by slanted headlights with imitation eyelashes, a special bumper and neat daytime running lights. The signature radiator grille with fine perforations is also located here. From the side you can see the sports fuse of the sedan with the original glass edging.

There are no striking changes in the three-door interior. The three-spoke steering wheel “hides” the usual wells and a 3.5-inch on-board computer screen. There is a “floating” microclimate control unit located here, which is even available in the base. Kia, as always, is distinguished by an abundance of “warm” options, since it was manufactured specifically for Russia.

Start of sales

We can already say that the release date of the new model in Russia is March 15, when test assembly of pre-production samples began at the Hyundai Motor plant in St. Petersburg. Well, the full start of sales of the Kia Rio 2022 with a new body for the Russian market will take place in August of this year, but the model is available for order now. Such a long period is allocated: to prepare the assembly line for the release of the second generation model, adaptation to operation in conditions of bad roads and harsh climates, as well as to conduct certification test drives and crash tests related to the installation of the ERA-GLONASS emergency response system. Another reason for the delay in the start of sales of the Kia Rio 2018 in Europe and China is the desire to inherit all the best from the versions for the Old World and the Middle Kingdom, having received the most suitable option for Russia both in terms of performance properties and in terms of design and quality of finishing materials. Note: the prices given in the text may be indicative and refer to cars of the next model year or to new products in the near future. In addition, possible discounts and special offers in the showrooms of official dealers are not taken into account. The number of modifications with corresponding engines and transmissions may also vary. For more detailed information, see the attached documents (tables).

New car interior

Thanks to slightly increased dimensions, the 2022 Kia Rio has a more spacious interior. Due to the increased length, tall rear seat passengers will be able to sit more comfortably.

The 2022 Kia steering ring deserves a special mention. The company's engineers significantly revised its design and significantly expanded its functionality.

Otherwise, the 2022 Rio changes include:

1. Front panel. The car manufacturer has significantly redesigned the front panel in accordance with modern fashion trends.
2. Instrument panel. The readability of instrument readings has been increased and their layout has been improved.
3. Manufacturing materials. More durable and wear-resistant materials were used in production.

Of course, there are not as many changes in the interior as improvements to the exterior, but the company’s engineers are constantly trying to improve many little things and bring sophisticated design solutions.

The main competitors of the car

Currently, the 2022 Kia Rio competes with the following vehicles:

1. Ford Fiesta 2022. The car boasts excellent handling, efficiency and thermal insulation of the interior. Among the shortcomings of the model, it should be noted the cramped interior, the quality of the body paint and flaws in the calculation of the ergonomics of the car.
2. Hyundai Solaris 2022. Solaris is a great car with excellent practicality, an economical engine and sophisticated design. The disadvantages of the model include poor noise insulation, uncomfortable seats and vibration during driving.
3. Renault Logan 2022. The car of this model has a well-tuned suspension, a spacious interior, a spacious trunk and high driving characteristics. Logan's shortcomings include some slowness of the electronics, poor noise insulation, low-quality body paint and malfunctions of the on-board computer.
4. Toyota Yaris. The advantages of this car are represented by reliability and build quality. At the same time, owners note the small trunk volume and high maintenance costs.
5. Volkswagen Polo Sedan 2022. The car from the German concern boasts an economical engine and good sound insulation. The disadvantages of the model include expensive maintenance, poor rear visibility and poor sound insulation.
6. Lada Granta 2022. The domestically produced car has high cross-country ability, decent ground clearance and small dimensions. There are some shortcomings, the most annoying of which are: poor sound insulation, gearbox noise, poor quality paintwork and low sills at the front wheels.

For Russia, the most attractive model is the Kia Rio 2022. Most competitors have significantly worse driving characteristics, quality equipment and are more expensive. Moreover, competitors have worse parameters for the same price.
