Deliveries of the vehicle will begin from August 2nd 2012 on wards. The Rio is also available with the old Peugeot’s 1.5L TUD5 engine.

     Premier has been testing the Rio with the Multi Jet engine for a while. Now with Rio getting the Multi Jet engine, its joins the band wagon of cars like Punto, Swift, Swift Dzire and Indica Vista which are also powered by the same engine. Fiat’s 1.3L Multi Jet engine has won many accolades all over the world because of its superb torque and high fuel efficiency.

     The 1.3L Multi Jet engine in Rio churns out 71 Bhp of power at 4000 rpm and 183 Nm of torque between 1800 to 2400 rpm with a fixed geometry turbocharger. The power is little less as compared to the Punto and Swift, probably because of the weight of the Rio. The Rio weighs 1145 Kg and rides on 205/70R15 tubeless radial tyres. It has disc brakes in the front and drum at rear.

Premier Rio 1.3L Multijet diesel, would you buy?

     Yes, you are thinking right. Premier Rio with a Fiat 1.3L Multijet diesel engine would become a reality soon. Premier is in discussions with various engine manufacturers, including FIAT, for a Euro 4 engine. Trails with these engines are already on and the company is satisfied with the performance. However the confirmation to use a new diesel engine is Rio will be done shortly.


     Rio, the only mini SUV in the market was launched in late 2009. It struggled to take off since its launch, thanks to its outdated 1.5 liter turbocharged engine with 65 PS of power and 152 Nm of torque. The outdated engine and lack of brand value made people hesitated to buy the product. However the company claims that the launch of Rio was an experiment to guage the mini SUV in the market. Well for the company’s experiment, why should the people pay their hard earned money? These automakers have to do their homework before they launch a product. After all they are not selling pea nuts. What do you say?
