Premier Rio Petrol MPFi GX Updates

Saturday, 06 April 2013 11:05 AM The Premier Rio Petrol MPFi GX, with its 1173 cc engine, was known for producing 77 bhp of power and 104 Nm of torque. This variant was part of the lineup that made the Rio one of the most affordable SUVs in India. I think the power and torque were decent for its class, making it a viable option for those on a budget.

Saturday, 06 April 2013 06:25 AM Premier launched a facelifted version of the Rio in China, which was expected to make its way to India. The new model featured a redesigned front fascia, new headlamps, and a more aggressive grille. The interior also saw improvements with a revised dashboard and better plastic quality. I believe these updates would have made the Rio more competitive in the Indian market.

Wednesday, 01 August 2012 10:25 PM The Premier Rio GX was available in manual transmission and came in five different colors. It included features like cup holders, folding rear seats, tachometer, AC, climate control, and power steering. I think these features were quite impressive for a vehicle in its price segment.

Wednesday, 01 August 2012 06:54 PM Premier softly launched the diesel version of the Rio, priced at Rs. 6.7 lakh, with deliveries starting from August 2. This move was seen as a significant step to enhance the vehicles appeal in the Indian market. I believe this diesel variant would have attracted more buyers looking for better fuel efficiency.

Thursday, 05 April 2012 09:37 AM There were speculations that Fiat might supply diesel engines for the Premier Rio. This potential partnership was seen as a way to improve the performance and efficiency of the Rio. I think such a collaboration would have been beneficial for both companies and the consumers.
