Premier Ltd is an automobile company based in Pune, India. The company is a major player in the automobile industry. It has, by virtue of manufacturing quality cars since its inception in 1944, carved a niche for itself in the hearts of car lovers and critics alike. One look at the Premier Rio CRDi4 LX, the franchise's newest offering, is all it takes to understand that the car is certain to take the automobile market by storm and elevate the company to greater heights. Appearance wise, the car scores top marks. Its highly refined and aesthetic look helps in making it a true treat for the eyes. The presence of adjustable headlamps and an optional roof carrier helps in giving the car a sporty and vibrant feel which, in many ways, justifies its classification as a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV). The good looks of the car are complemented by the presence of excellent interiors and a host of comfort, entertainment, and safety features that help in making the car a complete package.
Interior
Few cars can boast of the type of interior that is available in the Premier Rio CRDi4 LX. Stylish leather seats help in enhancing passenger comfort and also give the interior a sophisticated feel. A leather steering goes well with the class oriented feel of the vehicle and also simplifies the, otherwise challenging task of driving. The presence of an Air Conditioner (AC) simplifies driving during summers while driving during winters is made comfortable by the highly effective heater. A collapsible steering column helps in giving the car a tech-savvy reputation and also protects the driver from incurring chest injuries in case of a collision or crash. A conveniently located glove compartment allows the driver to keep gloves and other accessories at an arm's reach. A stylish cigarette lighter permits smokers enjoy uninterrupted smoking while on the move. A digital clock, tachometer, and external temperature display are some of the other features which add life to the car's interior.
Exterior
The car is equipped with a stylish exterior which helps the car in becoming a treat for the eyes. Adjustable headlights, which alter intensity using light sensors, help in giving the car the technology advantage and also facilitate driving during conditions of poor visibility. Fog lights, which are provided at the front as well as rear end, simplify driving during foggy conditions and add to the exterior of the car. Tinted glass helps in enhancing privacy and also adds a sense of ruggedness to the car's looks. Good quality alloy wheels also help in improving the car's stability. Some of the other noteworthy features that add new life to the exterior include side stepper, window washer, and rear defogger.

Safety Features
Keeping in mind the need to ensure passenger safety the makers have equipped the car with a host of safety related features. To start, a central locking mechanism ensures the automatic locking of all doors through a centralised console and hence insulates passengers from the dangers associated with unlocked doors.
