Kia introduces limited edition Rio Pulse model
21 Jul 2017|3,113 views
The new Kia Rio, launched just a few months ago, is now setting pulses racing faster with the introduction of a special limited edition model. The Kia Rio Pulse sports 17-inch alloy wheels with 205/45 R17 tyres, a black radiator grille with chrome surround and privacy glass on the rear windows and tailgate. Inside, the sporty leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear shifter are complemented by stainless steel pedals.
The Rio Pulse is powered by a four-cylinder, 16-valve, 1.25-litre version of Kia's Gamma multi-point injection petrol engine, developing 83bhp at 6,000rpm and 121Nm of torque peaking at 4,000rpm. It features continuously-variable valve timing to give a good combination of mid-range driveability and top-end performance, and drives through a five-speed manual gearbox.
ISG, Kia's engine start/stop system, is standard. This shuts down the engine when the gearbox is in neutral with the driver's foot off the clutch, and restarts it as soon as the clutch is pressed. As a result no fuel is used and no emissions are created when the car is stationary in traffic. The Rio Pulse is capable of up to 25km/L (combined), with CO2 emissions of 109g/km. It accelerates from 0-100km/h in 12.5 seconds and has a top speed of 172km/h.
