The model with the QB index occupies more than half the share of all Rios in the Russian secondary market. The car has become in demand due to its ease of maintenance and reliability. However, even the most durable machines are subject to wear and tear. The main problem of the South Korean “public sector” is considered to be scuffing in the engine cylinders, which is caused by untimely replacement of the oil and converter, as well as lack of warming up before trips.
The main problem of catalyst failure is low-quality fuel, as well as frequent use of AI-92 gasoline. The timing chain drive is also subject to wear, which on average stretches over 120 thousand kilometers. Complaints about mechanical transmissions are minimal. Most gearboxes last more than 200 thousand.

In “mechanics” it is necessary to change the oil every 100-120 thousand kilometers. “Automatic” fluid replacement is necessary every 60 thousand. At the same time, the most capricious is the six-speed A6GF1 gearbox, which tolerates slippage worse. The maximum resource of automatic transmissions is about 300 thousand kilometers.
Among other “sores” of the third generation Rio are faults in the steering rack, which appear when driving regularly over 90 kilometers per hour, as well as brake pads and discs that require replacement at 80 thousand kilometers. In addition, the model’s heated driver’s seat and heater motor periodically fail, and the steering wheel trim wears off.
In April, experts named the main problems faced by owners of Chinese cars. Many “sores” of cars from China appear in the autumn-winter period.
