Kia has revealed a new look for its Rio
hatch in time for the Paris motor show.
The
South Korean manufacturer has
prepared an upgrade for its best-selling car that includes new details inside
and out.
The car
has a revised grille, bumpers and foglights that lend a more modern look.
It
rides on new alloy wheels
ranging from 15- to 17-inches and will be available in new blue and yellow
colours.
On the
inside, new chrome accents
for the air vents join a revised centre stack surrounding the audio system.
But
Australian customers will
miss out on a new DAB digital radio and 7.0-inch infotainment display that
features faster route calculation for its satellite navigation software.
More
importantly, stop-start fuel saving systems that can have a significant effect
on fuel economy will not be available in Australia when the revised Rio arrives in November.
The technology may be available
in local models at a later date.
Australian
models will continue to be available with a 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol
engine paired with either a six-speed manual or four-speed automatic. The
larger 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine will also continued, paired with a
six-speed auto 'box as standard.
