All-new Kia Rio to debut in Paris

All-new Kia Rio

The fourth-generation Kia Rio will make its world premiere on September 29 in Paris, at the 2016 Mondial de l'Automobile.

The Rio's progressive new exterior and interior design was led by Kia's design centers in Germany and California, in close collaboration with the company's main design center in Namyang, Korea. Straight lines and smooth surfacing give the car a distinctive new character, while a longer front overhang and bonnet, longer wheelbase, and upright C-pillar give the car an even more confident and balanced appearance than its predecessor.

The all-new Rio will offer buyers class-leading practicality and safety technology, the latest connectivity features, and more assured and engaging ride and handling characteristics.

It is the Korean manufacturer's global best-selling model, with more than 473,000 sold around the world in 2015. The next generation Rio will enter production towards the end of 2016 for Europe, with production timings for other regions to be announced closer to launch.
