About KIA RIO

The Kia Rio is a passenger car (B-segment in Europe) manufactured by the South Korean marque Kia Motors. It was launched in 1997 and replaced the Kia Pride / Avella, two Ford vehicles relabeled under the Kia brand. It has been sold in several body styles, being the sedan, hatchback and family format the most popular ones.

Historically, the Kia Rio has always been front-engined and front-wheel drive. Regarding engines, most models have inline 4-cylinder engines, both gasoline and diesel -although this trend is changing with the introduction of three-cylinder engines-. This vehicle has different names depending on the market in which it is marketed. In China, the Kia Rio is called the Kia K2. In fact, a crossover version called Kia 2 KX Cross is sold in that country. The same is true in Russia, where there is the Kia Rio X-Line, with a design also similar to the SUV.

The Rio competes with other inexpensive compacts in its segment. These include the Dacia Sandero, Dacia Logan, Citroën C3 and Chevrolet Aveo, among others. There have been a total of 4 generations of this car.
