About the Kia Rio

The Kia Rio first appeared in 1999, sold as a small four-door sedan and a five-door station wagon. At the time, it was one of the least-expensive mass-produced vehicles available.

The current, fourth-generation Rio launched in 2017 and is sold in Australia only as a five-door hatchback.

The budget-priced Kia Rio range comprises the base S, SX ,Sport and GT-Line, with all but the latter powered by 1.4-litre four-cylinders, with six-speed manuals and six-speed automatics available.

The GT-Line is powered by a turbocharged 1-litre three-cylinder producing 74kW/172Nm and is mated to a dual-clutch seven-speed gearbox.

All new Ceratos are covered by Kia’s seven-year/unlimited-km warranty (which is also transferable), with capped price servicing, up to seven years, and roadside assistance, up to eight years, also available.
