1st February, 2015
Kia Rio enters the new year with a new look thus updating the brand's
light car champ.
The entry-level S, new S Premium and Si models gain a new front and rear bumper design, new grille pattern, new centre
fascia and audio unit design, and metallic look highlights while retaining all the safety and convenience features from
the outgoing models.
The S is available in three- and five-door configuration with the proven 1.4-litre MPI engine coupled to a six-speed
manual and four-speed automatic. The three-door S is $15,990* for the manual and $17,990* for the automatic. The
five-door model is $16,990* for the manual with the automatic an additional $2,000*.
The new S Premium grade is available in five-door with the same drive trains as the S but with additional trim and
comfort features including 15-inch alloys, front fog lamps, electric folding side mirrors with indicators, cruise
control, a six-speaker audio unit with dual tweeters and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. The S Premium
manual is $17,690* with a $2,000* additional charge for automatic.
Stepping up to the Si, available in five-door only, the Rio gains the 1.6-litre GDI engine and standard six-speed
automatic along with a new design 16-inch alloy while retaining the additional comfort and convenience features the
outgoing Si enjoyed over the S. This includes soft touch trim, sliding centre armrest and centre storage bin. The Si is
$21,490*.
Across all grades the Rio has benefited from additional refinement of the ride and handling localisation programme
from Kia Motors Australia. Ride comfort and control have been improved while steering feel has been moved to a new
level.
The upgraded Rio is available in eight colours, seven of which - Clear White, Bright Silver, Aurora Black, Graphite,
Mocha, Deep Blue and Signal Red - carry over from the superseded model while there is one new premium colour, Urban
Blue.
The high-end Sport (replacing the SLS model) and SLi will be released later.
NOTE:
* Manufacturer's List Price (MLP) excludes dealer delivery fees and the numerous statutory charges (commonly known as
on-road costs). Additionally, please note that all prices, fees and charges are subject to change without notice, as are
the specifications.
