Premier Rio Petrol now in showrooms, city pricelist

Premier has launched the Rio in a petrol engine option. The Mini SUV was first launched in a diesel engine option only.

We were the first to report of the Rio with upgraded interiors which looked more up market then the one which was launched first.

With new emission norms in place Premier could not sell the Rio in BS4 cities. However the company now will cater to these with the launch of the new engine.

The Rio gets an 1173cc, 4 cylinder naturally aspirated engine. It has a power output 76.6 Ps (56.3 kW) @ 5800 rpm and torque of 103.9 Nm @ 3500 – 4000 rpm.

The dimension and other technical specs remain the same. The Rio petrol is available in 4 options:

GX (Grey Interior), GLX (Grey Interior), GX (Beige Interior) & GLX (Beige Interior)

Premier is also working on a new diesel engine option which could eventually replace the current diesel engine. According to sources the Fiat multijet could make in the new facelifted Rio which is expected to hit the roads in 2012.

The mini SUV segment is going to get heated once the Mini Xylo makes it entry. More automakers could also follow the same with the segment growing and more customers opting for a mini SUV.
