Kia Rio

New Kia Rio

The new Kia Rio is brimming with confidence and clever features. It scores highly for safety and infotainment and is as efficient with fuel as it is with space.

Exterior

A slim supermini body shape creates a sporty look for the Rio. The black bezel headlight surrounds and mesh grille bring a stylish dark design to the front profile. Convenient features you might not notice at first glance include the heated door mirrors and rear windscreen. Higher equipment levels add larger alloy wheels, UV-reducing solar glass, projection front fog lights, and rain-sensing windscreen wipers.

Interior

Smart, soft black upholstery fabric contrasts with the metallic air vent edging and chromed parking bake button. Arranging the cabin space to suit your number of passengers or amount of luggage is easy. The front seats slide and recline, and there are plenty of convenient storage pockets. One of the biggest surprises in the Rio is the maximum boot space - lower the rear bench and you can benefit from 923 litres of room.
