General information and overview

The Premier Rio Petrol GX is a compact SUV that was introduced by Premier Ltd., one of the oldest Indian automakers. This vehicle comes with a 1173 cc petrol engine, producing 77 bhp and 103.9 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. It features a front McPherson strut and coil spring suspension and a rear 5-link system, providing a decent ride quality. However, the build quality is subpar, with cheap plastics used throughout the interior. The vehicle has a ground clearance of 200mm and a fuel tank capacity of 46 liters. It also comes with basic features like a CD player and ABS on higher variants. Despite its attempts to enter the compact SUV segment, the Rio fails to impress with its dated design, cramped interior, and high price point, making it a less desirable option in the Indian market.

Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

The Premier Rio Petrol GX, introduced in the Indian market around 2010, is a vehicle that falls short in several key areas. My experience with this car has been underwhelming, particularly due to its outdated design, poor build quality, and lackluster performance. The interior is marred by cheap plastics, cramped front seats, and inadequate storage spaces. The rear seat, though advertised for three, is barely comfortable for two adults, and the ingress and egress are not user-friendly. The engine, a 1173 cc petrol unit, produces 77 bhp but feels inadequate for the vehicles weight. Additionally, the absence of modern features and the use of old-style components, such as the OEM CD player, make it feel like a relic from the past. Overall, considering its high price point and the numerous shortcomings, I would not recommend the Premier Rio Petrol GX to potential buyers.

Price

Pricing details and changes

The Premier Rio Petrol GX was priced around Rs. 5.09 lakh ex-showroom in India during its launch period. When factoring in additional costs such as taxes, registration, and insurance, the on-road price would have been significantly higher, likely around Rs. 6.5 to 7 lakh. Given the features and performance it offers, this pricing is overly aggressive and does not provide good value for money. In comparison to other vehicles in its segment, such as the Maruti Suzuki Alto K10, the Rio is significantly more expensive without offering substantial advantages. This pricing strategy makes it a less attractive option for buyers looking for a budget-friendly and feature-rich vehicle.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

The Premier Rio Petrol GX offers a mileage of 12.5 kmpl, which is relatively low compared to other petrol-powered vehicles in its class. This mileage, as per ARAI standards, translates to higher running costs over time, especially considering the current fuel prices in India. For buyers who are concerned about fuel efficiency and running costs, this vehicle may not be the most economical choice.
