Sandy Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Currently the car runs on the old school 1.5 lit turbocharged engine which is Peugeot based producing a decent power of 65PS and torque of 152Nm.

sanzgod Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Last saturday, i have seen a RIO in Hyderabad. When did this release? any idea about the cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
live2drive Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Its actually good thing to have 1.3 multijet engine, with refined interiors. If 4x4 option provided RIO with proper price tag then its going to be hit as in this segment there are not much options than Gypsy / Thar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durango Dude Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 You can put in a Merc engine and give it the best interiors, I don't see the Rio going anywhere with that Premier badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

live2drive Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hi all, <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Any idea whether new <?:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />RIO launched ? As yesterday afternoon I saw 2 RIOs parked (1 black and 1 red) @ RajguruNagar bazaar on Pune-Nasik (NH-50) Highway while coming back from Bhimashankar. Black RIO was on Display truck and red one was behind the truck. Both cars were looking good. There was AD campaign going on. Premier guys were explaining to few viewers. AD campaign was going on with banners around stating "India's first compact Diesel SUV". If the new RIO is launched then how come there is no news and if not then the disgusting part is now Premier started marketing same 2 year old vehicle in small towns!!! I could not stop and check out for vehicle or take snap as the road was too crowded and my son was also sleeping and we did not want to break his sleep.
