Kia Rio
In keeping with its product renewal scheme, Kia has revamped both the Rio and Rio5. The design is clearly a hit, with a look that breaks the mould for cars in this category. The all-new 1.6L 4-cylinder engine with direct fuel injection inside the Rio is much more powerful and can be paired with either a 6-speed manual or automatic gearbox. Buyers can expect the Rio to come with a Stop and Go system in the near future.
