Rios is Kia’s smallest line of vehicles as well as its most affordable. The new Kia Rio is based on the same platform as the Hyundai i20 and as such, is likely to share the same 1.4-litre and 1.6-litre engine choices in Australia. The new Rio is designed at the Hyundai/Kia studio in Germany and promises to be yet another attractive package from the Korean car maker. The Rio comes in three trim levels-base, LX, and SX-and the Rio5 is offered as LX and SX trims. All Rios use the same engine, a 110-horsepower, 1.6L DOHC inline-four, with either a five-speed manual transmission (base sedan only) or a four-speed automatic in all other models.
