Kia’s fourth-generation Rio has hit Australian roads with enhanced ride and handling, improved safety and full connectivity for Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™.
The Rio has long been a favourite of Australian Kia buyers and is the Korean manufacturer’s global best-selling model, with annual sales approaching 500,000, accounting for 16% of Kia’s annual sales.
“While the days of Kia being the Rio car company in Australia are long past, the model remains a core plank in the growth and success of the brand in our market,” Kia Motors Australia Chief Operating Officer, Damien Meredith said.
“With the improvements and the additional technology and connectivity in the all-new Rio we expect it to remain one of the primary drivers of increased sales and brand awareness in the Australian market.”
Mr Meredith said that the advancements in the new Rio, coupled with Kia Motors Australia’s industry-leading customer care package of 7 year Factory Warranty, 7 year Capped Price Servicing and 7 Year Roadside Assist, makes a compelling purchase consideration case.
Now entering its fourth generation, the new Rio will offer B-segment buyers a peace-of-mind package, with an attractive new design, high practicality and convenience, extensive safety technology, new connectivity features and more engaging ride and handling.
Designed and engineered to meet the needs and desires of a wider range of buyers, the new Rio will play an increasingly important role in the Kia model line-up.
The new Rio is manufactured at Kia’s Sohari facility in Korea.
