RIO! Duran Duran Would Have Been Proud To Sing Her Name
The new Rio draws design cues from across the Kia range, with the company’s ‘Schreyer Line’ family grille design, large angular headlights and a front bumper styled in line with the recently-revealed Picanto. Depending on the market and specification, the new Rio will be offered in five- and three-door hatch styles, along with a four-door sedan version. The new Kia offers a wheelbase 70mm longer than its predecessor, promising greater cabin space for front and rear passengers. The cargo capacity has also grown, now measuring 292 litres for the five-door hatch (rear seats up) and 390 litres for the sedan.
While the new Rio’s interior has yet to be revealed, Kia says we can expect a level of quality “usually associated with larger models,” along with a broad range of trim options and features. This new Rio will be offered with six petrol and diesel engine variants, from a 51kW 1.1 litre diesel engine through to a 103kW 1.6 litre GDI petrol engine. Importantly for Kia as it continues its push for young buyers, the new Rio will also benefit from an all-new 1.2 litre turbocharged GDI petrol engine which Malaysia should see together with the 1.6-liter GDI engine. Arrival in Malaysia is still quite a few months away.
