yeah.... most of the import cars have to cut some corners in order to achieve certain price tag.... but the safety features quite impressive for this price tag.... which is a norm for korean cars nowadays.... underpower full spec car... lol....

Not really. Bad fc only imo.

Many brand opt for lower cc due to tax structure in Europe. Therefore the trend is downsizing engine and maybe gain a turbo in near future.

City 1.5 engine is light year better than this seriously underpowered 1.4 Rio, almost all the test drive report says Rio 1.4 underpowered & drink petrol like water.

Korean engine is famous for overrated power, in real driving scenario simply can't feel the claim power...lol

Just increase the price to 78888 & put in 1.6 engine & 6 speed GB if Naza seriously wanna compete in this sector.

No wonder KIA sales goes down the drain since discontinued of Forte, people would not buy Korean unless price is way cheaper & specs is way better.

Went to Naza showroom on first weekend of Rio Sedan launch, no even a single customer in the showroom doh.gif

How to feel the acceleration like City when it's heavier, smaller cc and fitted with 17" rim (in my case, the hatchback)? Be realistic.

As for under power, depends on individual preference. The throttle is retarded due to drive by wire. Turn off the eco mode would help reduce the lag at the expense of fc.

I think just wait for next gen to see if it gets turbo plus 6 speed gearbox. No point increasing cc nowadays.
