Under the hood it has a powerful engine which gives out a good fuel economy too. It has a five speed manual transmission. The car has superior leather seats which are quite relaxing to sit on. Other features include central locking and power windows and doors. Considering it is a C segment car, it has a nice hatchback. So to conclude all, it is a good mixture of style, comfort and safety features.

Also the front track is about 1305 mm and the rear one is 1310 mm. Tinted glass windows, front and rear fog lamps, three speed windscreen wipers, black colored B pillars, side stepper,  rear spoiler are jut the few good things of many.

Interiors

When it comes to the interior department, PremierRio Diesel DX doesn’t let you down. With its large luggage room and double folding rear seats, it makes up a lot of space to carry things in it. Adjustable head restraints and cup holders for both front and rear are very convenient to use. The front and back seat pockets are a good addition to carry keys, change or other small things. While the floor matting is not done in this model but still it can resist a lot of damage. Vanity mirror has been used along with day-night rearview mirror to avoid any restraint to our eyes. This 4 door can carry around five persons very easily without any problems. Also the trunk capacity is quite big with 454 liters of volume and it increases to up to 1158 liters when rear seats are folded. Fabric upholstery has been done extensively.     

Engine and Performance

PremierRio CRDi4  DX version has a 1.3-litre multi jet diesel engine which can generate a maximum power of  70bhp at the rate of 4000 rpm and the maximum torque up to 183Nm at the rate of 1800-2400 rpm.

The front suspension is the Mc Pherson strut and coil spring type and rear has a 5 rods system. When it comes to braking, the front brakes are ventilated disc brakes while the rears are the conventional drum brakes.

Safety features

Almost all of the SUV’s now support the ABS (Anti braking system) along with EBD (Electronic brake force distribution) and PremierRio Diesel DX too has this safety feature. Seat belts are available for all passengers of the car. Brake assist, child lock feature, and high mounted stop lamp, keyless entry are some of the active and passive safety features. Both front as well as rear lamps are fog lamps. One thing that has to be noted that all variants of Premier Rio doesn’t have any airbags, parking sensors, ESP( Electronic Stability Control) or the traction control. The halogen headlamps are equipped in Premier Rio Diesel DX. Anti theft alarm as well as engine immobilizer are a great addition. Front and side impact bearing beams comes into play in case of any crash, which not only protects the delicate equipment and parts of the car but also provide safety to driver and passengers too.  The fuel tank is mounted in the center of the car for its own protection.

Comfort features
