The fourth generation of the Kia Rio will start in September. The entry-level price of the small car from Korea will be around 2000 euros lower than the previous model.

Kia sends the Rio into the fourth round. In September, the Korean manufacturer brings the new edition of the small car on the market. The car is bigger than its predecessor and better equipped, but it is cheaper: The entry price drops by 2000 euros to 9990 euros, the manufacturer said at the vehicle presentation in Seoul.

Two petrol and two diesel

In return, customers get a 4.05 meter long five-door model with a 2.57 meter wheelbase and 288 liters of luggage space. The car, designed by the German designer Peter Schreyer, is equipped with ESP and six airbags as standard. For a surcharge, there is a steering wheel or seat heating, a navigation system with reversing camera and a keyless entry system. Kia also offers an automatic start-stop system for all engine variants.

Two petrol engines with a displacement of 1.2 or 1.4 liters are initially available for the drive. The two diesels available are 1.1 and 1.4 liters. The engines cover a power range from 55 kW / 75 PS to 80 kW / 109 PS and enable top speeds of up to 183 km / h. The most economical diesel has a consumption of 3.2 liters (CO2 emissions: 85 g / km). According to Kia, the largest gasoline engine consumes an average of 5.3 liters (CO2 emissions: 124 g / km).

Three-door and notchback variants follow

It will not stay with the five-door: At the beginning of 2012, Kia wants to hand in a more sporty Rio with three doors. The car is also available as a notchback version, although this is not intended for the Western European market. (dpa / tmn)
