Expert opinion and recommendation

The Premier Rio Diesel CRDi4 LX is a significant improvement over its predecessors, thanks to the integration of the 1.3-litre Fiat Multijet diesel engine. This engine, known for its high performance and stellar fuel economy, makes the Rio feel peppy and responsive, especially in city driving conditions. The turbo lag is almost non-existent, and the power delivery is linear, making it a joy to drive in urban settings. However, the NVH levels are on the higher side, and the diesel clatter is audible inside the cabin. The interior, while functional, leaves a lot to be desired in terms of design and quality. Despite these drawbacks, the Rios compact size, improved performance, and competitive pricing make it a viable option for those seeking a budget-friendly compact SUV. Overall, its a good choice for city driving, but it falls short in terms of refinement and interior quality.

Premier Rios diesel version, the CRDi4 LX, has been priced at Rs. 7.24 lakhs in India, making it an attractive option in the compact SUV segment. The vehicle is powered by a 1.3 litre Fiat Multijet diesel engine, known for its high performance and fuel efficiency. I believe this pricing strategy could help Premier regain its foothold in the Indian car market.

The Premier Rio CRDi4 LX is noted for its rugged design and suitability for city driving, although it has higher NVH levels and noticeable diesel clatter inside the cabin. Despite this, the car is praised for its smooth gearbox and linear power delivery. I think addressing the NVH issue could make this car even more appealing to potential buyers.

Premier has expanded its dealership network to 50 centers across India, aiming to improve customer service and accessibility for the Premier Rio CRDi4 LX. Additionally, the company offers a roadside assistance program called PASS to enhance the ownership experience. I believe this expansion will be crucial for building customer trust and loyalty.
October 26, 2012
The Premier Rio CRDi4 LX boasts a 1248cc Fiat Multijet engine, producing 72PS of power and 183Nm of torque, which is slightly less powerful than other cars with the same engine but still offers a peppy and responsive drive. The car can hit 100kmph in 15 seconds and has a top speed of around 140kmph. I think the fine-tuning of the engine has made it quite competitive despite the lower power output.
October 26, 2012
Premier softly launched the diesel version of the Premier Rio at an exciting price of Rs. 6.7 lakhs, with deliveries starting from August. This move is seen as a strategic attempt to capture a niche market in the entry-level compact SUV segment. I believe this aggressive pricing could attract buyers looking for a budget-friendly SUV option.

Pricing details and changes

The Premier Rio Diesel CRDi4 LX was priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for the LX variant was around Rs 7.01 lakh in Mumbai, which translates to an on-road price of approximately Rs 8.5 lakh to Rs 9 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing positions the Rio as one of the more affordable compact SUVs available, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers. However, its important to note that the prices mentioned are historical, and the current market may have different dynamics. Nonetheless, the Rios pricing strategy was aimed at offering a value-for-money proposition, which is a key factor for many Indian buyers.

i went to have a look on this car and found that the exterior are very good but the inside built quality like the dash board and the plastic quality are really very very poor it can be easily broken up by a small kid
so i suggest that don't opt for this one either you can choose the mahindra quonto or if the budget is a little high go for the Maruti ERATIGA
