Car Profiles - Kia Rio Sedan

KIA RIO SEDAN

An step up from its taxi-cab image predecessor, the Rio looks more solid and stately than before. Prices are competitive although there are some missing links (no airbags for 1.2 models) and some rough edges (cheap interior materials). An improvement but not by much. For 2015, the line-up is simplified.

The Good: Affordable prices, more Euro than Korean in presence
The Bad: Some missing safety stuffs on base models.

Price Range: P615,000-P775,000
Our Rating: ***
