Kia Rio

The Kia Rio is a well equipped and deceptively spacious 5-door hatchback. Apart from being great fun to drive, you'll also find its just as easy on your pocket.

The first thing to catch your eye is the bold styling and the crisp lines of its advanced design. Then there's Kia's superb build quality . As you close the doors they shut with a reassuringly solid "clunk". Inside, the all-round visibility is excellent and you'll find plenty of room for 5 people to sit in comfort.

There's also a decent sized boot for their luggage as well. And, if you fold down the rear sears, you'll have a large loading bay area at your disposal (1100 litres of space) - enough to fit all those extra goodies you can buy with the money the Rio will save you!

That's because the Rio isn't just superb value for money, it also has low running costs as well. And if that wasn't enough, for the added piece of mind there's our comprehensive 3 year warranty which even included 3 years free roadside assistance in the UK and mainland Europe.

MINIMUM EFFORT, MAXIMUM FUN

The Kia Rio combines dynamism and youthfulness with comfort, spaciousness and safety. This trendy five-door supermini brings you the responsive handling that makes it ideal for urban driving. Whether you are rushing off for the weekly shop, darting down to the sports club or planning weekend breaks away from home with loads of luggage, the Rio’s functionality takes it all in its stride. Everything about the Rio’s interior is light and bright with a modern and clean-cut design to match its exterior. The wide opening doors offer quick and easy access, and the generous interior dimensions give it class leading headroom, legroom and shoulder room for five occupants. All seats are ergonomically designed to provide ample support and full comfort in all the right places. The dual height adjustable driver's seat is also fitted with an armrest (subject to specification). Plus, the Rio abounds with nifty storage spaces that help you keep things organised. In need of extra load carrying space? The handy 60:40 folding rear seats solves the problem.

INTELLIGENT SAFETY SYSTEM

The Rio has a range of high-level active and passive safety measures. In addition to all-round disc brakes, pre-tensioners with load limiters on the front seatbelts and height-adjustable headrests for rear passengers, the Rio is equipped with ABS and EBD and twin front airbags as standard. Advanced safety technology like twin side and curtain airbags (high grade) and active head restraints (high grade), are available on the Rio to further protect you and your passengers. The Rio makes you feel equally at ease on motorways, open country roads or negotiating the bustling city traffic. Standard power-assisted rack and pinion steering and a remarkably tight turning radius see to this. Thanks to its modern suspension system, the Rio hugs the road for mile after mile, offering optimal stability and a comfortable, near silent ride.

DYNAMIC DRIVING EXPERIENCE

With a choice of petrol or diesel engines, the Rio is refined, environmentally friendly, powerful and yet fuel efficient. Diesel enthusiasts will be impressed with the Rio’s common-rail 1.5-litre CRDi diesel engine featuring a variable geometry turbocharger. Delivering more power (109bhp) than most other diesels in its class, it is undeniably lively and meets the Euro 4 emission norms. The 1.4-litre 16-valve petrol engine brings 96 bhp, generous power with economical fuel consumption to match. The manual transmission is ideal for those looking for a sporty run up through the gears and optimum performance. On the other hand the optional four speed automatic gearbox (optional on higher grade petrol models) delivers a smooth and comfortable drive.
