2006-2012 Kia Rio Sedan review
Stand out from the crowd.
There's a good reason why you'll turn heads in the Rio. Style and sophistication are the order of the day. Rio sets itself apart with a shapely, European inspired exterior and a refined, more spacious interior.
Now wider and more spacious than before, the Rio retains all the advantages of a compact car that is nimble enough for singles and couples, yet has enough space to comfortably seat a family of five.
And with an impressive list of standard features like remote central locking with keyless entry, power steering, power front windows, dual airbags and a CD player with 6 speakers, to name a few, Rio offers outstanding value.
Every Rio is built to withstand the rigours of time. Critical sections of the body shell – which is built around an integral passenger safety cage – are put through a specialised preparation process to safeguard against corrosion. After the body is carefully primed, a multi-stage system then applies the paint layers which give it both its good looks and its own ‘force-field’ against the elements. Finally, cavities are treated to protect against the effects of moisture. It’s this dedication to the detail which shines through in a multitude of different ways…some obvious, others more subtle. Feel the reassuring sense of solidity when you close the driver’s door on a Rio and you’ll know what we mean.
