My review on Exterior is - Impressive SUV look,

My review on Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) is - Good enough,

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox - Good,

My take on the Ride Quality & Handling is - Pretty Impressive,

My Final Words are - Super, Sexy, Trendy and Compact SUV or should I say beauty.

I think Areas of improvement for this SUV are - Engine Noise, AC Noise.

I see less cons and more pros of this vehicle. Over all this is a pretty cute vehicle in this price tag. I am sure they could have worked more on the engine noise part, but thats ok, I am sure things would get much better soon. 

I would say, I love this cute and compact SUV on the whole.

Good luck and you can definitely go for it. This would definitely be the good value for money. The day I have driven this for first time, I had made my mind that I am gonna pick this compact beauty very soon. And now comes the time. The compact beauty will be with me in next few days.

Final Words

Buy the current version without much thought

The RiO is now comes with Fiat’s award-winning MultiJet engine under its hood. This BS IV compliant, common-rail turbo-diesel engine generates a whopping 72bhp at 4000rpm. And gives you an unbeatable combination of performance and economy. No wonder, it’s used, under different nomenclatures, in nearly a dozen cars in this country! .It's CRDI engine  is an intelligent way of controlling a diesel engine with use of modern computer systems. CRDI helps to improve the power, performance and reduce harmful emissions from a diesel engine. Conventional Diesel Engines (non-CRDI engines) are sluggish, noisy and poor in performance compared to a CRDI engine. CRDI system uses common rail which is like one single rail or fuel channel which contains diesel compresses at high
pressure.

 The RiO gives you more! Fantastic looks with a tail mounted spare wheel. A diesel engine that won't empty your wallet. The fun of a rear wheel drive. Easy driveability. Fully loaded. At an excellent price..... An extraordinary combination!
