The Kia Rio (Korean: 기아 리오) is a subcompact car manufactured by Kia since November 1999 and now in its fourth generation. Body styles have included a three and five-door hatchback and four-door sedan, equipped with inline-four gasoline and diesel engines, and front-wheel drive.
The Rio replaced the first generation Pride—a rebadged version of the Ford Festiva—and the Avella, a subcompact sold as a Ford in some markets. A second generation was introduced in 2005 in Europe and in 2006 in North America, sharing its platform with the Hyundai Accent, a subcompact manufactured by its sister Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea.
As of 2023, there are reports that the Kia Rio is to be discontinued in Europe and Australia.[1][2]

Sedan (pre-facelift)
Wagon (pre-facelift)
The first generation Kia Rio (referred internally as the «DC») was offered in both four-door sedan and five-door station wagon body styles. When released, it was the least-expensive mass-produced car to be sold in the United States.[5] While the Rio’s styling and affordability were well-received, it was derided for its poor build quality and driving experience.[6]
The station wagon was marketed as the «Rio Cinco» in the United States, «Rio RX-V» in Canada, and «Rio Look» in Chile. The sedan version was not sold in the United Kingdom, and the station wagon was known as the «Rio» there. In Greece, both versions were sold as the «Rio». In South Korea, this was the only generation to use the «Rio» name, as the «Pride» name was used from the second generation onwards.
The first generation Rio offered only one engine for each model year in the United States: a 96 hp (72 kW) 1.5-litre DOHC I4 gasoline engine from 2001 through 2002. Then a larger version appeared, a 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder rated at 104 hp (78 kW) used for model years 2003 through 2005. All years offered a choice of a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed F4A-EL automatic. An alternative of a 1.3-litre (1,343 cc) SOHC four-cylinder/eight-valve petrol, producing 75 hp (56 kW) was offered in some other countries, including the United Kingdom and most of continental Europe. The USA-version five-door featured power steering and a tachometer, optional on the sedan. The European version was marketed under several trim levels; standard equipment for all trims included a driver airbag. Additional features were available for promotion in Greece, including leather seats and car alarm. In Europe, the various national markets received different selections of the three engines.
The domestic Korean market versions did not include the 1.6-liter version, as the South Korean taxation system heavily penalizes cars of more than 1,500 cc. Claimed outputs for the domestic versions (JIS) were higher, at 84 PS (62 kW) for the little 1.3 and 108 PS (79 kW) for the DOHC 1.5.[7] For the SOHC 1.5 95 PS (70 kW) was claimed. The first generation hatchback was marketed as the Rio RX-V in South Korea.
Safety features included seat belts and an airbag for the driver. ABS was available as an option for entry-line cars but fitted by default for top of the range models (i.e., Rio LX, in the UK, and Rio LS, in Greece).
There was a version called the Sports-Pac, which featured a bonnet scoop, a rear wing, golden wheels, and blue paint, all inspired by the Subaru Impreza WRX STi. Mechanically the Sports-Pac was identical to regular models, with the exception of lowered suspension.[8]
Facelift[edit]
In 2002, the Rio received a mild redesign (for the 2003 model year in the US) including upgrades in engine, suspension, brakes, and new exterior and interior styling. After this 2002 facelift, the entire range received the «Rio SF» moniker in the domestic South Korean market, with «SF» standing for both «Science Fiction» and «Safety First».
In Europe, the facelifted Rio received minor changes in external look and engine improvement of the 1.3 from 75 hp (56 kW) to 80 hp (60 kW) at 5,500 rpm, and 86 lb⋅ft (117 N⋅m) at 3,000 rpm.
Iranian production of the facelifted Rio by SAIPA began in 2005. The cars were not equipped with ABS or airbags until 2012, powered by a version of the 1.5 litre engine which produces 96 hp (72 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 135 N⋅m (100 ft⋅lbf) torque at 4,500 rpm. In early 2012, the production ended.

Interior
Kia introduced the second generation (JB) in the early 2005 model year in Europe and for model year 2006 in North America, based on a redesigned platform shared with the Hyundai Accent. The engine was upgraded to a 110 hp 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder «Alpha II» engine now also shared with the Hyundai Accent. Other changes include a new exterior design, an increase in exterior size and interior volume, increased safety features and fuel economy. The station wagon was dropped with this generation, replaced by a new 5-door hatchback.
Kia offered the 2006 sedan as the Rio and Rio LX, the LX trim included power steering, air conditioning, and CD player. The Rio5 (USA) is offered simply in SX trim level with leather-covered steering wheel. As in the first generation, only the five-door hatchback version was offered in some European markets (including the UK). Three engines are available; a 1.6-litre DOHC engine with 110 hp (82 kW), a lesser 1.4-litre version with 96 hp (72 kW) and a 1.5-litre turbo-diesel engine with 109 hp. However, in the US market only the 1.6-litre gasoline engine is offered, in two body styles: a four-door-sedan and a five-door hatch. The European version’s common rail diesel engine produces 110 PS (81 kW).
In 2007, an SX trim level was added to the Rio sedan with the same features supplied with the Rio5 SX.
In 2007, the South Korean government began testing approximately 4,000 pre-production Rio hybrid-electric models, with parent company Hyundai Kia Automotive Group later announcing and subsequently withdrawing anticipated release dates for the hybrid model.[10][11]
For 2008, Kia offered the LX trim level for the Rio5 (similar to the Rio LX sedan) and a limited production of Rio5 SX Tuner models, featuring Falken FK452 tires, Tanabe strut tower brace and Eibach Federn lowering springs.[12]
For the 2009 model year, all Rio and Rio5 trims received standard Sirius Satellite Radio (complimentary for three months) and radios with USB port & auxiliary jack, the auxiliary jack substituting for a Bluetooth mobile phone connection for devices with an earphone jack. The Kia Rio ranked 5th in the «20 least expensive 2009 vehicles to insure» list by Insure.com. According to research, the Rio is one of the least expensive vehicles to insure.[13]
For the Malaysian market, the second generation Rio was launched on the 7 September 2005 available with only one trim level with only the hatchback body style and powered by a 1.4-litre 16 valve DOHC engine with a 4-speed automatic gearbox and was fully imported from South Korea.[14][15][16]
Facelift[edit]
Hatchback (2010 facelift)
Sedan (2010 facelift)
For the 2010 model year, the models received a facelift in late 2009, adopting Kia’s new Tiger nose grille. In addition, the steering wheel receives the same design as the Kia Soul and Kia Forte, featuring optional Bluetooth hands-free phone operation, and the gauges cluster receives a new red backlit design. The headlights were modified slightly, with a darker appearance and parking lights and side-marker lights sharing the turn-signal housing. Side moldings on the car became narrower and body-colored. For the UK version, the Rio looks exactly the same as the US version, except that only the hatchback variant is sold there. It has Kia’s new ‘Tiger Nose’ grille (for the 2010 model) and is powered by a 1.4-litre DOHC four-cylinder 16-valve petrol engine, or a 1.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder 16-valve diesel. They both have a five speed manual gearbox.
This facelifted Kia Rio was never being sold in the markets of Central and Southeastern Europe,[17][18] apparently due to dismal sales, as well as due to the insufficient production capacities.

The third-generation UB Kia Rio debuted on March 1, 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show, again based on the Hyundai Accent.
It features 1.4-litre or 1.6-litre Hyundai GDI Gamma engines. The European market also receives the option of a 1.25-litre petrol engine, as well as a 1.4-litre or 1.1-litre CRDi turbo-diesel engine — the 1.1-litre engine having the lowest CO2 emissions and highest MPG of any non-electric or hybrid car currently on sale at time of writing; up to 88 mpg on the EU combined cycle (73 mpg in US gallons) and emitting only 85 grams of CO2 per kilometer. This market, however, lacks the 1.6-litre engine, with the 1.4-litre being the most powerful on offer.
Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic for the American market, with the European market receiving a 5-speed manual for the 1.25-litre Petrol engine, a 6-speed manual for the 1.4-litre petrol, 1.1-litre and 1.4-litre diesels and a 4-speed automatic for the 1.4-litre petrol «2» spec model in 5-door configuration. Intelligent stop & go is an option on almost all available trim and engine levels.
The Rio in Europe also receives a 3-door model. It is mechanically identical to the 5-door, though its longer doors give it a more sporting appearance that appeals to younger audiences. The 3-door is also noticeably cheaper than the 5-door.
In November 2011, the third generation Rio was awarded Semperit Irish Car of the Year and in December was awarded Carsguide’s 2011 Car of the Year award as well, triumphing over many other vehicles including the likes of the Range Rover Evoque and the recently facelifted Ford Territory.
For the Malaysian market, the third generation Rio was launched in January 2013 available with two trim levels (EX and SX) with only the hatchback bodystyle and powered by a G4FA 1.4-litre MPI Gamma engine.[24] The facelift version was launched in Malaysia in May 2015 and was available with only one trim level (SX).[25] The sedan version was launched in January 2016, available with only one trim level and powered by a 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission. A «X» variant of the sedan was introduced in March 2016.[26]

Kia Rio GT[edit]
Kia released a turbocharged performance model of the Cee’d, called the Pro_Cee’d GT in Europe in July 2013, and is the company’s first ever hot hatch. Rumours have surfaced around the internet that a Rio GT (based on what is known as the Rio 5-door in America, but using the 3-door European configuration) may go into production, giving Kia a true supermini hot hatch to rival the established class leaders; the Ford Fiesta ST, Peugeot 208 GTi and Renaultsport Clio. Rumours were backed up when the European VP for Kia, Benny Oeyen, mentioned that if the Cee’d GT is successful, Kia would put more GT models into production, including the Rio.[30][31]

Kia presented the global fourth-generation Rio at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. The new car was designed in Kia’s California and Germany design centers and features longer front overhangs, larger hood and a more upright C-pillars for the hatchback model.[41] The hatchback model is 15 mm longer, 5 mm wider and 5 mm shorter in height than its predecessor.
In European markets, the car is only offered in a 5-door hatchback form, while the 3-door hatchback option was discontinued.[42] In other markets such as the Americas, both the 5-door hatchback and sedan body styles are offered.[43][44] For the North American market, the Rio is manufactured alongside the Forte at the newly-built Pesquería plant in Mexico.[38]
Unlike the previous generations, the fourth-generation Rio is an export-only model since it is not offered in the South Korean domestic market due to decreasing sales of its predecessor.[45] In the country, the Rio-based Stonic crossover was offered instead.
For the North American market, the 1.6-liter Gamma GDi engine was replaced by the 1.6-litre Gamma II MPi starting from the 2020 model year. The EPA fuel economy rating was significantly improved as a result, while rated maximum horsepower reduced from 130 hp (132 PS; 97 kW) to a peak 120 hp (122 PS; 89 kW).
For the Malaysian market, the fourth generation Rio was launched in July 2017.[46]

The Rio produced and marketed in Russia and China (as the K2 and KX Cross) is internally referred to by the FB or UC model codes.[62] The version for Russia differs with the YB Rio with a different design, longer wheelbase, a different line of engines and suspension settings.
The model was unveiled in Russia in June 2017. Compared to its predecessor, the QB Rio, the FB Rio received improved suspension tuning and an electric power steering. In terms of dimensions, the sedan model is 23 mm (0.9 in) longer in length, 40 mm (1.6 in) wider and 30 mm (1.2 in) longer in wheelbase. Due to the revised rear suspension configuration, trunk space of the sedan model was reduced from 500 L to 480 L. The 1.4-litre Gamma engine was replaced by the Kappa engine of the similar displacement, while the 1.6-litre Gamma engine option was retained from the previous generation.[63]
Production of the FB Rio sedan began on 4 July 2017 at the Hyundai plant in Saint Petersburg alongside the related Hyundai Solaris, and sales began on 1 August 2017. It is also offered in Ukraine and in various CIS countries, such as Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.
The facelifted Kia Rio was launched to the Russian market in 2020. The updated model features a reshaped headlights and front bumper, with LED headlights in offer for higher grade levels.[64]

The Kia Rio (Korean: 기아 리오) is a subcompact car manufactured by Kia since November 1999 and now in its fourth generation. Body styles have included a three and five-door hatchback and four-door sedan, equipped with inline-four gasoline and diesel engines, and front-wheel drive.
The Rio replaced the first generation Pride—a rebadged version of the Ford Festiva—and the Avella, a subcompact sold as a Ford in some markets. A second generation was introduced in 2005 in Europe and in 2006 in North America, sharing its platform with the Hyundai Accent, a subcompact manufactured by its sister Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea.
As of 2023, there are reports that the Kia Rio is to be discontinued in Europe and Australia.[1][2]

Sedan (pre-facelift)
Wagon (pre-facelift)
The first generation Kia Rio (referred internally as the «DC») was offered in both four-door sedan and five-door station wagon body styles. When released, it was the least-expensive mass-produced car to be sold in the United States.[5] While the Rio’s styling and affordability were well-received, it was derided for its poor build quality and driving experience.[6]
The station wagon was marketed as the «Rio Cinco» in the United States, «Rio RX-V» in Canada, and «Rio Look» in Chile. The sedan version was not sold in the United Kingdom, and the station wagon was known as the «Rio» there. In Greece, both versions were sold as the «Rio». In South Korea, this was the only generation to use the «Rio» name, as the «Pride» name was used from the second generation onwards.
The first generation Rio offered only one engine for each model year in the United States: a 96 hp (72 kW) 1.5-litre DOHC I4 gasoline engine from 2001 through 2002. Then a larger version appeared, a 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder rated at 104 hp (78 kW) used for model years 2003 through 2005. All years offered a choice of a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed F4A-EL automatic. An alternative of a 1.3-litre (1,343 cc) SOHC four-cylinder/eight-valve petrol, producing 75 hp (56 kW) was offered in some other countries, including the United Kingdom and most of continental Europe. The USA-version five-door featured power steering and a tachometer, optional on the sedan. The European version was marketed under several trim levels; standard equipment for all trims included a driver airbag. Additional features were available for promotion in Greece, including leather seats and car alarm. In Europe, the various national markets received different selections of the three engines.
The domestic Korean market versions did not include the 1.6-liter version, as the South Korean taxation system heavily penalizes cars of more than 1,500 cc. Claimed outputs for the domestic versions (JIS) were higher, at 84 PS (62 kW) for the little 1.3 and 108 PS (79 kW) for the DOHC 1.5.[7] For the SOHC 1.5 95 PS (70 kW) was claimed. The first generation hatchback was marketed as the Rio RX-V in South Korea.
Safety features included seat belts and an airbag for the driver. ABS was available as an option for entry-line cars but fitted by default for top of the range models (i.e., Rio LX, in the UK, and Rio LS, in Greece).
There was a version called the Sports-Pac, which featured a bonnet scoop, a rear wing, golden wheels, and blue paint, all inspired by the Subaru Impreza WRX STi. Mechanically the Sports-Pac was identical to regular models, with the exception of lowered suspension.[8]
Facelift[edit]
In 2002, the Rio received a mild redesign (for the 2003 model year in the US) including upgrades in engine, suspension, brakes, and new exterior and interior styling. After this 2002 facelift, the entire range received the «Rio SF» moniker in the domestic South Korean market, with «SF» standing for both «Science Fiction» and «Safety First».
In Europe, the facelifted Rio received minor changes in external look and engine improvement of the 1.3 from 75 hp (56 kW) to 80 hp (60 kW) at 5,500 rpm, and 86 lb⋅ft (117 N⋅m) at 3,000 rpm.
Iranian production of the facelifted Rio by SAIPA began in 2005. The cars were not equipped with ABS or airbags until 2012, powered by a version of the 1.5 litre engine which produces 96 hp (72 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 135 N⋅m (100 ft⋅lbf) torque at 4,500 rpm. In early 2012, the production ended.

Interior
Kia introduced the second generation (JB) in the early 2005 model year in Europe and for model year 2006 in North America, based on a redesigned platform shared with the Hyundai Accent. The engine was upgraded to a 110 hp 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder «Alpha II» engine now also shared with the Hyundai Accent. Other changes include a new exterior design, an increase in exterior size and interior volume, increased safety features and fuel economy. The station wagon was dropped with this generation, replaced by a new 5-door hatchback.
Kia offered the 2006 sedan as the Rio and Rio LX, the LX trim included power steering, air conditioning, and CD player. The Rio5 (USA) is offered simply in SX trim level with leather-covered steering wheel. As in the first generation, only the five-door hatchback version was offered in some European markets (including the UK). Three engines are available; a 1.6-litre DOHC engine with 110 hp (82 kW), a lesser 1.4-litre version with 96 hp (72 kW) and a 1.5-litre turbo-diesel engine with 109 hp. However, in the US market only the 1.6-litre gasoline engine is offered, in two body styles: a four-door-sedan and a five-door hatch. The European version’s common rail diesel engine produces 110 PS (81 kW).
In 2007, an SX trim level was added to the Rio sedan with the same features supplied with the Rio5 SX.
In 2007, the South Korean government began testing approximately 4,000 pre-production Rio hybrid-electric models, with parent company Hyundai Kia Automotive Group later announcing and subsequently withdrawing anticipated release dates for the hybrid model.[10][11]
For 2008, Kia offered the LX trim level for the Rio5 (similar to the Rio LX sedan) and a limited production of Rio5 SX Tuner models, featuring Falken FK452 tires, Tanabe strut tower brace and Eibach Federn lowering springs.[12]
For the 2009 model year, all Rio and Rio5 trims received standard Sirius Satellite Radio (complimentary for three months) and radios with USB port & auxiliary jack, the auxiliary jack substituting for a Bluetooth mobile phone connection for devices with an earphone jack. The Kia Rio ranked 5th in the «20 least expensive 2009 vehicles to insure» list by Insure.com. According to research, the Rio is one of the least expensive vehicles to insure.[13]
For the Malaysian market, the second generation Rio was launched on the 7 September 2005 available with only one trim level with only the hatchback body style and powered by a 1.4-litre 16 valve DOHC engine with a 4-speed automatic gearbox and was fully imported from South Korea.[14][15][16]
Facelift[edit]
Hatchback (2010 facelift)
Sedan (2010 facelift)
For the 2010 model year, the models received a facelift in late 2009, adopting Kia’s new Tiger nose grille. In addition, the steering wheel receives the same design as the Kia Soul and Kia Forte, featuring optional Bluetooth hands-free phone operation, and the gauges cluster receives a new red backlit design. The headlights were modified slightly, with a darker appearance and parking lights and side-marker lights sharing the turn-signal housing. Side moldings on the car became narrower and body-colored. For the UK version, the Rio looks exactly the same as the US version, except that only the hatchback variant is sold there. It has Kia’s new ‘Tiger Nose’ grille (for the 2010 model) and is powered by a 1.4-litre DOHC four-cylinder 16-valve petrol engine, or a 1.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder 16-valve diesel. They both have a five speed manual gearbox.
This facelifted Kia Rio was never being sold in the markets of Central and Southeastern Europe,[17][18] apparently due to dismal sales, as well as due to the insufficient production capacities.
Safety[edit]

The 2006 Rio received Poor to Average ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).[19]

The third-generation UB Kia Rio debuted on March 1, 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show, again based on the Hyundai Accent.
It features 1.4-litre or 1.6-litre Hyundai GDI Gamma engines. The European market also receives the option of a 1.25-litre petrol engine, as well as a 1.4-litre or 1.1-litre CRDi turbo-diesel engine — the 1.1-litre engine having the lowest CO2 emissions and highest MPG of any non-electric or hybrid car currently on sale at time of writing; up to 88 mpg on the EU combined cycle (73 mpg in US gallons) and emitting only 85 grams of CO2 per kilometer. This market, however, lacks the 1.6-litre engine, with the 1.4-litre being the most powerful on offer.
Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic for the American market, with the European market receiving a 5-speed manual for the 1.25-litre Petrol engine, a 6-speed manual for the 1.4-litre petrol, 1.1-litre and 1.4-litre diesels and a 4-speed automatic for the 1.4-litre petrol «2» spec model in 5-door configuration. Intelligent stop & go is an option on almost all available trim and engine levels.
The Rio in Europe also receives a 3-door model. It is mechanically identical to the 5-door, though its longer doors give it a more sporting appearance that appeals to younger audiences. The 3-door is also noticeably cheaper than the 5-door.
In November 2011, the third generation Rio was awarded Semperit Irish Car of the Year and in December was awarded Carsguide’s 2011 Car of the Year award as well, triumphing over many other vehicles including the likes of the Range Rover Evoque and the recently facelifted Ford Territory.
For the Malaysian market, the third generation Rio was launched in January 2013 available with two trim levels (EX and SX) with only the hatchback bodystyle and powered by a G4FA 1.4-litre MPI Gamma engine.[24] The facelift version was launched in Malaysia in May 2015 and was available with only one trim level (SX).[25] The sedan version was launched in January 2016, available with only one trim level and powered by a 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission. A «X» variant of the sedan was introduced in March 2016.[26]

Kia Rio GT[edit]
Kia released a turbocharged performance model of the Cee’d, called the Pro_Cee’d GT in Europe in July 2013, and is the company’s first ever hot hatch. Rumours have surfaced around the internet that a Rio GT (based on what is known as the Rio 5-door in America, but using the 3-door European configuration) may go into production, giving Kia a true supermini hot hatch to rival the established class leaders; the Ford Fiesta ST, Peugeot 208 GTi and Renaultsport Clio. Rumours were backed up when the European VP for Kia, Benny Oeyen, mentioned that if the Cee’d GT is successful, Kia would put more GT models into production, including the Rio.[30][31]

Kia presented the global fourth-generation Rio at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. The new car was designed in Kia’s California and Germany design centers and features longer front overhangs, larger hood and a more upright C-pillars for the hatchback model.[41] The hatchback model is 15 mm longer, 5 mm wider and 5 mm shorter in height than its predecessor.
In European markets, the car is only offered in a 5-door hatchback form, while the 3-door hatchback option was discontinued.[42] In other markets such as the Americas, both the 5-door hatchback and sedan body styles are offered.[43][44] For the North American market, the Rio is manufactured alongside the Forte at the newly-built Pesquería plant in Mexico.[38]
Unlike the previous generations, the fourth-generation Rio is an export-only model since it is not offered in the South Korean domestic market due to decreasing sales of its predecessor.[45] In the country, the Rio-based Stonic crossover was offered instead.
For the North American market, the 1.6-liter Gamma GDi engine was replaced by the 1.6-litre Gamma II MPi starting from the 2020 model year. The EPA fuel economy rating was significantly improved as a result, while rated maximum horsepower reduced from 130 hp (132 PS; 97 kW) to a peak 120 hp (122 PS; 89 kW).
For the Malaysian market, the fourth generation Rio was launched in July 2017.[46]

The Rio produced and marketed in Russia and China (as the K2 and KX Cross) is internally referred to by the FB or UC model codes.[62] The version for Russia differs with the YB Rio with a different design, longer wheelbase, a different line of engines and suspension settings.
The model was unveiled in Russia in June 2017. Compared to its predecessor, the QB Rio, the FB Rio received improved suspension tuning and an electric power steering. In terms of dimensions, the sedan model is 23 mm (0.9 in) longer in length, 40 mm (1.6 in) wider and 30 mm (1.2 in) longer in wheelbase. Due to the revised rear suspension configuration, trunk space of the sedan model was reduced from 500 L to 480 L. The 1.4-litre Gamma engine was replaced by the Kappa engine of the similar displacement, while the 1.6-litre Gamma engine option was retained from the previous generation.[63]
Production of the FB Rio sedan began on 4 July 2017 at the Hyundai plant in Saint Petersburg alongside the related Hyundai Solaris, and sales began on 1 August 2017. It is also offered in Ukraine and in various CIS countries, such as Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.

бонус за лучший ответ (выдан): 5 кредитов Вы правильно заметили, что автомобиль корейский. Значит и название этого бренда тоже давали в Корее. Если немного подключить воображение и знание восточных языков, то переведем KIA как «пришедший из Азии» ну или «выходец из Азии» (кому как больше нравится). Название происходит от слова «ки» — что значит » восходящий» и «а» — «Азия». Это имя собственное, а не аббревиатура. Поэтому мы и читаем «КИА», и никак иначе. Мы же имя Irina читаем Ирина, а не Ирайна))) автор вопроса выбрал этот ответ лучшим -Irinka- более года назад Данный корейский автомобиль довольно популярен в России. Многие пользователи задаются данным вопросом, о том, как правильно звучит по-русски название KIA. Если говорить о том, как именно расшифровывается абравиатура названия, то оно звучит следующим образом «Выйти из Азии во весь мир» или «Войти в мир из Азии». Произносить же названием правильно с «а» на конце: Киа. КорнетОболенский более года назад Название автомобиля марки KIA по-русски читается как «Киа». Действует ранее незыблемый, а ныне часто нарушаемый принцип «Как вижу, так и говорю». Сама марка корейская. В России является одной из достаточно популярных. Майк Казанский более года назад Название KIA появилось в 1951 году, хотя сама компания была образована в 1944 году, а собственная линейка автомобилей начала производиться, начиная с семидесятых годов прошлого столетия. Как же расшифровывается KIA? Согласно официальной информации самой компании, KIA происходит от иероглифов: «ки», что значит «выйти» и «а», что означает «Восточная Азия». Если соединить два иероглифа, получим «Выйти из Азии». Это соответствует на 100%, KIA продаётся во многих странах мира, одним словом, название своё компания оправдала. Правильное произношение по-русски и по-английски аббревиатуры «KIA» будет «КИА» и никак не иначе. sieh08 более года назад Корейская продукция, в том числе и автомобили, отличного качества. Как им это удается — загадка, как и все на Востоке. Марка KIA идет от названия компании: В Росси произносят КИА и это правильно. Интерпретация названия как «восходящий в мир из Азии» и подобные ни что иное как народный фольклор. «КИА» — это корейская аббревиатура, расшифровывается как «выйти в мир из Азии». Поэтому это слово по-русски (и по-английски тоже) читается так, как его произносят корейцы. То есть «КИА». Ракитин Сергей 6 лет назад Название KIA — это аббревиатура от Korean International Automotive, такое название компания получила в 1951 г., хотя первоначально называлась не очень привычно для европейского уха — KyungSung Precision Industry. Так что правильный вариант произношения — КИА. Что касается «Восходящего из Азии», это скорее пример «народной этимологии», которую поощряет сама KIA. владсандрович более года назад Верным вариантом чтения слова KIA, по нашему русскому языку, должен быть вариант «КИА», так как в этом слове, сочетание «КИ», переводится как Азия, ну а «А», это просто автомобиль и никакой «Й», в этом сочетании букв, вообще нет места. Красное облако более года назад В нашем регионе автомобили корейского производителя в почёте. По русски правильно говорить «КИА» и вас все поймут. Вариант «КаЙя» даже не приходилось слышать. КИА, другое дело, это и будет единственно верным вариантном. Знаете ответ? |

Рио- сокращённое название Рио де Жанейро- крупный город в Бразилии, носящий прозвище «изумительный город». Название должно вызывать положительные ассоциации, маркетологи с этим успешно справились. Этого не скажешь о названии самой корейской фирмы- аббревиатура KIA в английском языке означает совсем не вызывающее приятных ассоциаций понятие. Вот что говорит словарь Яндекса:
Перевод с английского на русский в cловаре общей лексики
KIA
сокр. от killed in action
погиб в бою
Я давно знал это сокращение и был удивлён, когда впервые увидел его на машине.

The Kia Rio (Korean: 기아 리오) is a subcompact car manufactured by Kia since November 1999 and now in its fourth generation. Body styles have included a three and five-door hatchback and four-door sedan, equipped with inline-four gasoline and diesel engines, and front-wheel drive.
The Rio replaced the first generation Pride—a rebadged version of the Ford Festiva—and the Avella, a subcompact sold as a Ford in some markets. A second generation was introduced in 2005 in Europe and in 2006 in North America, sharing its platform with the Hyundai Accent, a subcompact manufactured by its sister Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea.

Sedan (pre-facelift)
Wagon (pre-facelift)
The first generation Kia Rio (referred internally as the «DC») was offered in both four-door sedan and five-door station wagon body styles. When released, it was the least-expensive mass-produced car to be sold in the United States.[3] While the Rio’s styling and affordability were well-received, it was derided for its poor build quality and driving experience.[4]
The station wagon was marketed as the «Rio Cinco» in the United States, «Rio RX-V» in Canada, and «Rio Look» in Chile. The sedan version was not sold in the United Kingdom, and the station wagon was known as the «Rio» there. In Greece, both versions were sold as the «Rio». In South Korea, this was the only generation to use the «Rio» name, as the «Pride» name was used from the second generation onwards.
The first generation Rio offered only one engine for each model year in the United States: a 96 hp (72 kW) 1.5-litre DOHC I4 gasoline engine from 2001 through 2002. Then a larger version appeared, a 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder rated at 104 hp (78 kW) used for model years 2003 through 2005. All years offered a choice of a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed F4A-EL automatic. An alternative of a 1.3-litre (1,343 cc) SOHC four-cylinder/eight-valve petrol, producing 75 hp (56 kW) was offered in some other countries, including the United Kingdom and most of continental Europe. The USA-version five-door featured power steering and a tachometer, optional on the sedan. The European version was marketed under several trim levels; standard equipment for all trims included a driver airbag. Additional features were available for promotion in Greece, including leather seats and car alarm. In Europe, the various national markets received different selections of the three engines.
The domestic Korean market versions did not include the 1.6-liter version, as the South Korean taxation system heavily penalizes cars of more than 1,500 cc. Claimed outputs for the domestic versions (JIS) were higher, at 84 PS (62 kW) for the little 1.3 and 108 PS (79 kW) for the DOHC 1.5.[5] For the SOHC 1.5 95 PS (70 kW) was claimed. The first generation hatchback was marketed as the Rio RX-V in South Korea.
Safety features included seat belts and an airbag for the driver. ABS was available as an option for entry-line cars but fitted by default for top of the range models (i.e., Rio LX, in the UK, and Rio LS, in Greece).
There was a version called the Sports-Pac, which featured a bonnet scoop, a rear wing, golden wheels, and blue paint, all inspired by the Subaru Impreza WRX STi. Mechanically the Sports-Pac was identical to regular models, with the exception of lowered suspension.[6]
Facelift[edit]
In 2002, the Rio received a mild redesign (for the 2003 model year in the US) including upgrades in engine, suspension, brakes, and new exterior and interior styling. After this 2002 facelift, the entire range received the «Rio SF» moniker in the domestic South Korean market, with «SF» standing for both «Science Fiction» and «Safety First».
In Europe, the facelifted Rio received minor changes in external look and engine improvement of the 1.3 from 75 hp (56 kW) to 80 hp (60 kW) at 5,500 rpm, and 86 lb⋅ft (117 N⋅m) at 3,000 rpm.
Iranian production of the facelifted Rio by SAIPA began in 2005. The cars were not equipped with ABS or airbags until 2012, powered by a version of the 1.5 litre engine which produces 96 hp (72 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 135 N⋅m (100 ft⋅lbf) torque at 4,500 rpm. In early 2012, the production ended.

Interior
Kia introduced the second generation (JB) in the early 2005 model year in Europe and for model year 2006 in North America, based on a redesigned platform shared with the Hyundai Accent. The engine was upgraded to a 110 hp 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder «Alpha II» engine now also shared with the Hyundai Accent. Other changes include a new exterior design, an increase in exterior size and interior volume, increased safety features and fuel economy. The station wagon was dropped with this generation, replaced by a new 5-door hatchback.
Kia offered the 2006 sedan as the Rio and Rio LX, the LX trim included power steering, air conditioning, and CD player. The Rio5 (USA) is offered simply in SX trim level with leather-covered steering wheel. As in the first generation, only the five-door hatchback version was offered in some European markets (including the UK). Three engines are available; a 1.6-litre DOHC engine with 110 hp (82 kW), a lesser 1.4-litre version with 96 hp (72 kW) and a 1.5-litre turbo-diesel engine with 109 hp. However, in the US market only the 1.6-litre gasoline engine is offered, in two body styles: a four-door-sedan and a five-door hatch. The European version’s common rail diesel engine produces 110 PS (81 kW).
In 2007, an SX trim level was added to the Rio sedan with the same features supplied with the Rio5 SX.
In 2007, the South Korean government began testing approximately 4,000 pre-production Rio hybrid-electric models, with parent company Hyundai Kia Automotive Group later announcing and subsequently withdrawing anticipated release dates for the hybrid model.[8][9]
For 2008, Kia offered the LX trim level for the Rio5 (similar to the Rio LX sedan) and a limited production of Rio5 SX Tuner models, featuring Falken FK452 tires, Tanabe strut tower brace and Eibach Federn lowering springs.[10]
For the 2009 model year, all Rio and Rio5 trims received standard Sirius Satellite Radio (complimentary for three months) and radios with USB port & auxiliary jack, the auxiliary jack substituting for a Bluetooth mobile phone connection for devices with an earphone jack. The Kia Rio ranked 5th in the «20 least expensive 2009 vehicles to insure» list by Insure.com. According to research, the Rio is one of the least expensive vehicles to insure.[11]
For the Malaysian market, the second generation Rio was launched on the 7 September 2005 available with only one trim level with only the hatchback body style and powered by a 1.4-litre 16 valve DOHC engine with a 4-speed automatic gearbox and was fully imported from South Korea.[12][13][14]
Facelift[edit]
Hatchback (2010 facelift)
Sedan (2010 facelift)
For the 2010 model year, the models received a facelift in late 2009, adopting Kia’s new Tiger nose grille. In addition, the steering wheel receives the same design as the Kia Soul and Kia Forte, featuring optional Bluetooth hands-free phone operation, and the gauges cluster receives a new red backlit design. The headlights were modified slightly, with a darker appearance and parking lights and side-marker lights sharing the turn-signal housing. Side moldings on the car became narrower and body-colored. For the UK version, the Rio looks exactly the same as the US version, except that only the hatchback variant is sold there. It has Kia’s new ‘Tiger Nose’ grille (for the 2010 model) and is powered by a 1.4-litre DOHC four-cylinder 16-valve petrol engine, or a 1.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder 16-valve diesel. They both have a five speed manual gearbox.

The third-generation UB Kia Rio debuted on March 1, 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show, again based on the Hyundai Accent.
It features 1.4-litre or 1.6-litre Hyundai GDI Gamma engines. The European market also receives the option of a 1.25-litre petrol engine, as well as a 1.4-litre or 1.1-litre CRDi turbo-diesel engine — the 1.1-litre engine having the lowest CO2 emissions and highest MPG of any non-electric or hybrid car currently on sale at time of writing; up to 88 mpg on the EU combined cycle (73 mpg in US gallons) and emitting only 85 grams of CO2 per kilometer. This market, however, lacks the 1.6-litre engine, with the 1.4-litre being the most powerful on offer.
Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic for the American market, with the European market receiving a 5-speed manual for the 1.25-litre Petrol engine, a 6-speed manual for the 1.4-litre petrol, 1.1-litre and 1.4-litre diesels and a 4-speed automatic for the 1.4-litre petrol «2» spec model in 5-door configuration. Intelligent stop & go is an option on almost all available trim and engine levels.
The Rio in Europe also receives a 3-door model. It is mechanically identical to the 5-door, though its longer doors give it a more sporting appearance that appeals to younger audiences. The 3-door is also noticeably cheaper than the 5-door.
In November 2011, the third generation Rio was awarded Semperit Irish Car of the Year and in December was awarded Carsguide’s 2011 Car of the Year award as well, triumphing over many other vehicles including the likes of the Range Rover Evoque and the recently facelifted Ford Territory.
For the Malaysian market, the third generation Rio was launched in January 2013 available with two trim levels (EX and SX) with only the hatchback bodystyle and powered by a G4FA 1.4-litre MPI Gamma engine.[20] The facelift version was launched in Malaysia in May 2015 and was available with only one trim level (SX).[21] The sedan version was launched in January 2016, available with only one trim level and powered by a 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission. A «X» variant of the sedan was introduced in March 2016.[22]

Kia Rio GT[edit]
Kia released a turbocharged performance model of the Cee’d, called the Pro_Cee’d GT in Europe in July 2013, and is the company’s first ever hot hatch. Rumours have surfaced around the internet that a Rio GT (based on what is known as the Rio 5-door in America, but using the 3-door European configuration) may go into production, giving Kia a true supermini hot hatch to rival the established class leaders; the Ford Fiesta ST, Peugeot 208 GTi and Renaultsport Clio. Rumours were backed up when the European VP for Kia, Benny Oeyen, mentioned that if the Cee’d GT is successful, Kia would put more GT models into production, including the Rio.[26][27]

Kia presented the global fourth-generation Rio at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. The new car was designed in Kia’s California and Germany design centers and features longer front overhangs, larger hood and a more upright C-pillars for the hatchback model.[37] The hatchback model is 15 mm longer, 5 mm wider and 5 mm shorter in height than its predecessor.
In European markets, the car is only offered in a 5-door hatchback form, while the 3-door hatchback option was discontinued.[38] In other markets such as the Americas, both the 5-door hatchback and sedan body styles are offered.[39][40] For the North American market, the Rio is manufactured alongside the Forte at the newly-built Pesquería plant in Mexico.[34]
Unlike the previous generations, the fourth-generation Rio is an export-only model since it is not offered in the South Korean domestic market due to decreasing sales of its predecessor.[41] In the country, the Rio-based Stonic crossover was offered instead.
For the North American market, the 1.6-liter Gamma GDi engine was replaced by the 1.6-litre Gamma II MPi starting from the 2020 model year. The EPA fuel economy rating was significantly improved as a result, while rated maximum horsepower reduced from 130 hp (132 PS; 97 kW) to a peak 120 hp (122 PS; 89 kW).
For the Malaysian market, the fourth generation Rio was launched in July 2017.[42]

The Rio produced and marketed in Russia and China (as the K2 and KX Cross) is internally referred to by the FB or UC model codes.[58] The version for Russia differs with the YB Rio with a different design, longer wheelbase, a different line of engines and suspension settings.
The model was unveiled in Russia in June 2017. Compared to its predecessor, the QB Rio, the FB Rio received improved suspension tuning and an electric power steering. In terms of dimensions, the sedan model is 23 mm (0.9 in) longer in length, 40 mm (1.6 in) wider and 30 mm (1.2 in) longer in wheelbase. Due to the revised rear suspension configuration, trunk space of the sedan model was reduced from 500 L to 480 L. The 1.4-litre Gamma engine was replaced by the Kappa engine of the similar displacement, while the 1.6-litre Gamma engine option was retained from the previous generation.[59]
Production of the FB Rio sedan began on 4 July 2017 at the Hyundai plant in Saint Petersburg alongside the related Hyundai Solaris, and sales began on 1 August 2017. It is also offered in Ukraine and in various CIS countries, such as Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.
The facelifted Kia Rio was launched to the Russian market in 2020. The updated model features a reshaped headlights and front bumper, with LED headlights in offer for higher grade levels.[60]

The Kia Rio (Korean: 기아 리오) is a subcompact car manufactured by Kia since November 1999 and now in its fourth generation. Body styles have included a three and five-door hatchback and four-door sedan, equipped with inline-four gasoline and diesel engines, and front-wheel drive.
The Rio replaced the first generation Pride—a rebadged version of the Ford Festiva—and the Avella, a subcompact sold as a Ford in some markets. A second generation was introduced in 2005 in Europe and in 2006 in North America, sharing its platform with the Hyundai Accent, a subcompact manufactured by its sister Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea.

Sedan (pre-facelift)
Wagon (pre-facelift)
The first generation Kia Rio (referred internally as the «DC») was offered in both four-door sedan and five-door station wagon body styles. When released, it was the least-expensive mass-produced car to be sold in the United States.[3] While the Rio’s styling and affordability were well-received, it was derided for its poor build quality and driving experience.[4]
The station wagon was marketed as the «Rio Cinco» in the United States, «Rio RX-V» in Canada, and «Rio Look» in Chile. The sedan version was not sold in the United Kingdom, and the station wagon was known as the «Rio» there. In Greece, both versions were sold as the «Rio». In South Korea, this was the only generation to use the «Rio» name, as the «Pride» name was used from the second generation onwards.
The first generation Rio offered only one engine for each model year in the United States: a 96 hp (72 kW) 1.5-litre DOHC I4 gasoline engine from 2001 through 2002. Then a larger version appeared, a 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder rated at 104 hp (78 kW) used for model years 2003 through 2005. All years offered a choice of a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed F4A-EL automatic. An alternative of a 1.3-litre (1,343 cc) SOHC four-cylinder/eight-valve petrol, producing 75 hp (56 kW) was offered in some other countries, including the United Kingdom and most of continental Europe. The USA-version five-door featured power steering and a tachometer, optional on the sedan. The European version was marketed under several trim levels; standard equipment for all trims included a driver airbag. Additional features were available for promotion in Greece, including leather seats and car alarm. In Europe, the various national markets received different selections of the three engines.
The domestic Korean market versions did not include the 1.6-liter version, as the South Korean taxation system heavily penalizes cars of more than 1,500 cc. Claimed outputs for the domestic versions (JIS) were higher, at 84 PS (62 kW) for the little 1.3 and 108 PS (79 kW) for the DOHC 1.5.[5] For the SOHC 1.5 95 PS (70 kW) was claimed. The first generation hatchback was marketed as the Rio RX-V in South Korea.
Safety features included seat belts and an airbag for the driver. ABS was available as an option for entry-line cars but fitted by default for top of the range models (i.e., Rio LX, in the UK, and Rio LS, in Greece).
There was a version called the Sports-Pac, which featured a bonnet scoop, a rear wing, golden wheels, and blue paint, all inspired by the Subaru Impreza WRX STi. Mechanically the Sports-Pac was identical to regular models, with the exception of lowered suspension.[6]
Facelift[edit]
In 2002, the Rio received a mild redesign (for the 2003 model year in the US) including upgrades in engine, suspension, brakes, and new exterior and interior styling. After this 2002 facelift, the entire range received the «Rio SF» moniker in the domestic South Korean market, with «SF» standing for both «Science Fiction» and «Safety First».
In Europe, the facelifted Rio received minor changes in external look and engine improvement of the 1.3 from 75 hp (56 kW) to 80 hp (60 kW) at 5,500 rpm, and 86 lb⋅ft (117 N⋅m) at 3,000 rpm.
Iranian production of the facelifted Rio by SAIPA began in 2005. The cars were not equipped with ABS or airbags until 2012, powered by a version of the 1.5 litre engine which produces 96 hp (72 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 135 N⋅m (100 ft⋅lbf) torque at 4,500 rpm. In early 2012, the production ended.

Interior
Kia introduced the second generation (JB) in the early 2005 model year in Europe and for model year 2006 in North America, based on a redesigned platform shared with the Hyundai Accent. The engine was upgraded to a 110 hp 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder «Alpha II» engine now also shared with the Hyundai Accent. Other changes include a new exterior design, an increase in exterior size and interior volume, increased safety features and fuel economy. The station wagon was dropped with this generation, replaced by a new 5-door hatchback.
Kia offered the 2006 sedan as the Rio and Rio LX, the LX trim included power steering, air conditioning, and CD player. The Rio5 (USA) is offered simply in SX trim level with leather-covered steering wheel. As in the first generation, only the five-door hatchback version was offered in some European markets (including the UK). Three engines are available; a 1.6-litre DOHC engine with 110 hp (82 kW), a lesser 1.4-litre version with 96 hp (72 kW) and a 1.5-litre turbo-diesel engine with 109 hp. However, in the US market only the 1.6-litre gasoline engine is offered, in two body styles: a four-door-sedan and a five-door hatch. The European version’s common rail diesel engine produces 110 PS (81 kW).
In 2007, an SX trim level was added to the Rio sedan with the same features supplied with the Rio5 SX.
In 2007, the South Korean government began testing approximately 4,000 pre-production Rio hybrid-electric models, with parent company Hyundai Kia Automotive Group later announcing and subsequently withdrawing anticipated release dates for the hybrid model.[8][9]
For 2008, Kia offered the LX trim level for the Rio5 (similar to the Rio LX sedan) and a limited production of Rio5 SX Tuner models, featuring Falken FK452 tires, Tanabe strut tower brace and Eibach Federn lowering springs.[10]
For the 2009 model year, all Rio and Rio5 trims received standard Sirius Satellite Radio (complimentary for three months) and radios with USB port & auxiliary jack, the auxiliary jack substituting for a Bluetooth mobile phone connection for devices with an earphone jack. The Kia Rio ranked 5th in the «20 least expensive 2009 vehicles to insure» list by Insure.com. According to research, the Rio is one of the least expensive vehicles to insure.[11]
For the Malaysian market, the second generation Rio was launched on the 7 September 2005 available with only one trim level with only the hatchback body style and powered by a 1.4-litre 16 valve DOHC engine with a 4-speed automatic gearbox and was fully imported from South Korea.[12][13][14]
Facelift[edit]
Hatchback (2010 facelift)
Sedan (2010 facelift)
For the 2010 model year, the models received a facelift in late 2009, adopting Kia’s new Tiger nose grille. In addition, the steering wheel receives the same design as the Kia Soul and Kia Forte, featuring optional Bluetooth hands-free phone operation, and the gauges cluster receives a new red backlit design. The headlights were modified slightly, with a darker appearance and parking lights and side-marker lights sharing the turn-signal housing. Side moldings on the car became narrower and body-colored. For the UK version, the Rio looks exactly the same as the US version, except that only the hatchback variant is sold there. It has Kia’s new ‘Tiger Nose’ grille (for the 2010 model) and is powered by a 1.4-litre DOHC four-cylinder 16-valve petrol engine, or a 1.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder 16-valve diesel. They both have a five speed manual gearbox.

The third-generation UB Kia Rio debuted on March 1, 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show, again based on the Hyundai Accent.
It features 1.4-litre or 1.6-litre Hyundai GDI Gamma engines. The European market also receives the option of a 1.25-litre petrol engine, as well as a 1.4-litre or 1.1-litre CRDi turbo-diesel engine — the 1.1-litre engine having the lowest CO2 emissions and highest MPG of any non-electric or hybrid car currently on sale at time of writing; up to 88 mpg on the EU combined cycle (73 mpg in US gallons) and emitting only 85 grams of CO2 per kilometer. This market, however, lacks the 1.6-litre engine, with the 1.4-litre being the most powerful on offer.
Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic for the American market, with the European market receiving a 5-speed manual for the 1.25-litre Petrol engine, a 6-speed manual for the 1.4-litre petrol, 1.1-litre and 1.4-litre diesels and a 4-speed automatic for the 1.4-litre petrol «2» spec model in 5-door configuration. Intelligent stop & go is an option on almost all available trim and engine levels.
The Rio in Europe also receives a 3-door model. It is mechanically identical to the 5-door, though its longer doors give it a more sporting appearance that appeals to younger audiences. The 3-door is also noticeably cheaper than the 5-door.
In November 2011, the third generation Rio was awarded Semperit Irish Car of the Year and in December was awarded Carsguide’s 2011 Car of the Year award as well, triumphing over many other vehicles including the likes of the Range Rover Evoque and the recently facelifted Ford Territory.
For the Malaysian market, the third generation Rio was launched in January 2013 available with two trim levels (EX and SX) with only the hatchback bodystyle and powered by a G4FA 1.4-litre MPI Gamma engine.[20] The facelift version was launched in Malaysia in May 2015 and was available with only one trim level (SX).[21] The sedan version was launched in January 2016, available with only one trim level and powered by a 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission. A «X» variant of the sedan was introduced in March 2016.[22]

Kia Rio GT[edit]
Kia released a turbocharged performance model of the Cee’d, called the Pro_Cee’d GT in Europe in July 2013, and is the company’s first ever hot hatch. Rumours have surfaced around the internet that a Rio GT (based on what is known as the Rio 5-door in America, but using the 3-door European configuration) may go into production, giving Kia a true supermini hot hatch to rival the established class leaders; the Ford Fiesta ST, Peugeot 208 GTi and Renaultsport Clio. Rumours were backed up when the European VP for Kia, Benny Oeyen, mentioned that if the Cee’d GT is successful, Kia would put more GT models into production, including the Rio.[26][27]

Kia presented the global fourth-generation Rio at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. The new car was designed in Kia’s California and Germany design centers and features longer front overhangs, larger hood and a more upright C-pillars for the hatchback model.[37] The hatchback model is 15 mm longer, 5 mm wider and 5 mm shorter in height than its predecessor.
In European markets, the car is only offered in a 5-door hatchback form, while the 3-door hatchback option was discontinued.[38] In other markets such as the Americas, both the 5-door hatchback and sedan body styles are offered.[39][40] For the North American market, the Rio is manufactured alongside the Forte at the newly-built Pesquería plant in Mexico.[34]
Unlike the previous generations, the fourth-generation Rio is an export-only model since it is not offered in the South Korean domestic market due to decreasing sales of its predecessor.[41] In the country, the Rio-based Stonic crossover was offered instead.
For the North American market, the 1.6-liter Gamma GDi engine was replaced by the 1.6-litre Gamma II MPi starting from the 2020 model year. The EPA fuel economy rating was significantly improved as a result, while rated maximum horsepower reduced from 130 hp (132 PS; 97 kW) to a peak 120 hp (122 PS; 89 kW).
For the Malaysian market, the fourth generation Rio was launched in July 2017.[42]

The Rio produced and marketed in Russia and China (as the K2 and KX Cross) is internally referred to by the FB or UC model codes.[58] The version for Russia differs with the YB Rio with a different design, longer wheelbase, a different line of engines and suspension settings.

In terms of dimensions, the sedan model is 23 mm (0.9 in) longer in length, 40 mm (1.6 in) wider and 30 mm (1.2 in) longer in wheelbase.

The Kia Rio (Korean: 기아 리오) is a subcompact car manufactured by Kia since November 1999 and now in its fourth generation. Body styles have included a three and five-door hatchback and four-door sedan, equipped with inline-four gasoline and diesel engines, and front-wheel drive.
The Rio replaced the first generation Pride—a rebadged version of the Ford Festiva—and the Avella, a subcompact sold as a Ford in some markets. A second generation was introduced in 2005 in Europe and in 2006 in North America, sharing its platform with the Hyundai Accent, a subcompact manufactured by its sister Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea.

Sedan (pre-facelift)
Wagon (pre-facelift)
The first generation Kia Rio (referred internally as the «DC») was offered in both four-door sedan and five-door station wagon body styles. When released, it was the least-expensive mass-produced car to be sold in the United States.[3] While the Rio’s styling and affordability were well-received, it was derided for its poor build quality and driving experience.[4]
The station wagon was marketed as the «Rio Cinco» in the United States, «Rio RX-V» in Canada, and «Rio Look» in Chile. The sedan version was not sold in the United Kingdom, and the station wagon was known as the «Rio» there. In Greece, both versions were sold as the «Rio». In South Korea, this was the only generation to use the «Rio» name, as the «Pride» name was used from the second generation onwards.
The first generation Rio offered only one engine for each model year in the United States: a 96 hp (72 kW) 1.5-litre DOHC I4 gasoline engine from 2001 through 2002. Then a larger version appeared, a 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder rated at 104 hp (78 kW) used for model years 2003 through 2005. All years offered a choice of a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed F4A-EL automatic. An alternative of a 1.3-litre (1,343 cc) SOHC four-cylinder/eight-valve petrol, producing 75 hp (56 kW) was offered in some other countries, including the United Kingdom and most of continental Europe. The USA-version five-door featured power steering and a tachometer, optional on the sedan. The European version was marketed under several trim levels; standard equipment for all trims included a driver airbag. Additional features were available for promotion in Greece, including leather seats and car alarm. In Europe, the various national markets received different selections of the three engines.
The domestic Korean market versions did not include the 1.6-liter version, as the South Korean taxation system heavily penalizes cars of more than 1,500 cc. Claimed outputs for the domestic versions (JIS) were higher, at 84 PS (62 kW) for the little 1.3 and 108 PS (79 kW) for the DOHC 1.5.[5] For the SOHC 1.5 95 PS (70 kW) was claimed. The first generation hatchback was marketed as the Rio RX-V in South Korea.
Safety features included seat belts and an airbag for the driver. ABS was available as an option for entry-line cars but fitted by default for top of the range models (i.e., Rio LX, in the UK, and Rio LS, in Greece).
There was a version called the Sports-Pac, which featured a bonnet scoop, a rear wing, golden wheels, and blue paint, all inspired by the Subaru Impreza WRX STi. Mechanically the Sports-Pac was identical to regular models, with the exception of lowered suspension.[6]
Facelift[edit]
In 2002, the Rio received a mild redesign (for the 2003 model year in the US) including upgrades in engine, suspension, brakes, and new exterior and interior styling. After this 2002 facelift, the entire range received the «Rio SF» moniker in the domestic South Korean market, with «SF» standing for both «Science Fiction» and «Safety First».
In Europe, the facelifted Rio received minor changes in external look and engine improvement of the 1.3 from 75 hp (56 kW) to 80 hp (60 kW) at 5,500 rpm, and 86 lb⋅ft (117 N⋅m) at 3,000 rpm.
Iranian production of the facelifted Rio by SAIPA began in 2005. The cars were not equipped with ABS or airbags until 2012, powered by a version of the 1.5 litre engine which produces 96 hp (72 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 135 N⋅m (100 ft⋅lbf) torque at 4,500 rpm. In early 2012, the production ended.

Interior
Kia introduced the second generation (JB) in the early 2005 model year in Europe and for model year 2006 in North America, based on a redesigned platform shared with the Hyundai Accent. The engine was upgraded to a 110 hp 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder «Alpha II» engine now also shared with the Hyundai Accent. Other changes include a new exterior design, an increase in exterior size and interior volume, increased safety features and fuel economy. The station wagon was dropped with this generation, replaced by a new 5-door hatchback.
Kia offered the 2006 sedan as the Rio and Rio LX, the LX trim included power steering, air conditioning, and CD player. The Rio5 (USA) is offered simply in SX trim level with leather-covered steering wheel. As in the first generation, only the five-door hatchback version was offered in some European markets (including the UK). Three engines are available; a 1.6-litre DOHC engine with 110 hp (82 kW), a lesser 1.4-litre version with 96 hp (72 kW) and a 1.5-litre turbo-diesel engine with 109 hp. However, in the US market only the 1.6-litre gasoline engine is offered, in two body styles: a four-door-sedan and a five-door hatch. The European version’s common rail diesel engine produces 110 PS (81 kW).
In 2007, an SX trim level was added to the Rio sedan with the same features supplied with the Rio5 SX.
In 2007, the South Korean government began testing approximately 4,000 pre-production Rio hybrid-electric models, with parent company Hyundai Kia Automotive Group later announcing and subsequently withdrawing anticipated release dates for the hybrid model.[8][9]
For 2008, Kia offered the LX trim level for the Rio5 (similar to the Rio LX sedan) and a limited production of Rio5 SX Tuner models, featuring Falken FK452 tires, Tanabe strut tower brace and Eibach Federn lowering springs.[10]
For the 2009 model year, all Rio and Rio5 trims received standard Sirius Satellite Radio (complimentary for three months) and radios with USB port & auxiliary jack, the auxiliary jack substituting for a Bluetooth mobile phone connection for devices with an earphone jack. The Kia Rio ranked 5th in the «20 least expensive 2009 vehicles to insure» list by Insure.com. According to research, the Rio is one of the least expensive vehicles to insure.[11]
For the Malaysian market, the second generation Rio was launched on the 7 September 2005 available with only one trim level with only the hatchback body style and powered by a 1.4-litre 16 valve DOHC engine with a 4-speed automatic gearbox and was fully imported from South Korea.[12][13][14]
Facelift[edit]
Hatchback (2010 facelift)
Sedan (2010 facelift)
For the 2010 model year, the models received a facelift in late 2009, adopting Kia’s new Tiger nose grille. In addition, the steering wheel receives the same design as the Kia Soul and Kia Forte, featuring optional Bluetooth hands-free phone operation, and the gauges cluster receives a new red backlit design. The headlights were modified slightly, with a darker appearance and parking lights and side-marker lights sharing the turn-signal housing. Side moldings on the car became narrower and body-colored. For the UK version, the Rio looks exactly the same as the US version, except that only the hatchback variant is sold there. It has Kia’s new ‘Tiger Nose’ grille (for the 2010 model) and is powered by a 1.4-litre DOHC four-cylinder 16-valve petrol engine, or a 1.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder 16-valve diesel. They both have a five speed manual gearbox.

The third-generation UB Kia Rio debuted on March 1, 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show, again based on the Hyundai Accent.
It features 1.4-litre or 1.6-litre Hyundai GDI Gamma engines. The European market also receives the option of a 1.25-litre petrol engine, as well as a 1.4-litre or 1.1-litre CRDi turbo-diesel engine — the 1.1-litre engine having the lowest CO2 emissions and highest MPG of any non-electric or hybrid car currently on sale at time of writing; up to 88 mpg on the EU combined cycle (73 mpg in US gallons) and emitting only 85 grams of CO2 per kilometer. This market, however, lacks the 1.6-litre engine, with the 1.4-litre being the most powerful on offer.
Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic for the American market, with the European market receiving a 5-speed manual for the 1.25-litre Petrol engine, a 6-speed manual for the 1.4-litre petrol, 1.1-litre and 1.4-litre diesels and a 4-speed automatic for the 1.4-litre petrol «2» spec model in 5-door configuration. Intelligent stop & go is an option on almost all available trim and engine levels.
The Rio in Europe also receives a 3-door model. It is mechanically identical to the 5-door, though its longer doors give it a more sporting appearance that appeals to younger audiences. The 3-door is also noticeably cheaper than the 5-door.
In November 2011, the third generation Rio was awarded Semperit Irish Car of the Year and in December was awarded Carsguide’s 2011 Car of the Year award as well, triumphing over many other vehicles including the likes of the Range Rover Evoque and the recently facelifted Ford Territory.
For the Malaysian market, the third generation Rio was launched in January 2013 available with two trim levels (EX and SX) with only the hatchback bodystyle and powered by a G4FA 1.4-litre MPI Gamma engine.[20] The facelift version was launched in Malaysia in May 2015 and was available with only one trim level (SX).[21] The sedan version was launched in January 2016, available with only one trim level and powered by a 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission. A «X» variant of the sedan was introduced in March 2016.[22]

Kia Rio GT[edit]
Kia released a turbocharged performance model of the Cee’d, called the Pro_Cee’d GT in Europe in July 2013, and is the company’s first ever hot hatch. Rumours have surfaced around the internet that a Rio GT (based on what is known as the Rio 5-door in America, but using the 3-door European configuration) may go into production, giving Kia a true supermini hot hatch to rival the established class leaders; the Ford Fiesta ST, Peugeot 208 GTi and Renaultsport Clio. Rumours were backed up when the European VP for Kia, Benny Oeyen, mentioned that if the Cee’d GT is successful, Kia would put more GT models into production, including the Rio.[26][27]

Kia presented the global fourth-generation Rio at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. The new car was designed in Kia’s California and Germany design centers and features longer front overhangs, larger hood and a more upright C-pillars for the hatchback model.[37] The hatchback model is 15 mm longer, 5 mm wider and 5 mm shorter in height than its predecessor.
In European markets, the car is only offered in a 5-door hatchback form, while the 3-door hatchback option was discontinued.[38] In other markets such as the Americas, both the 5-door hatchback and sedan body styles are offered.[39][40] For the North American market, the Rio is manufactured alongside the Forte at the newly-built Pesquería plant in Mexico.[34]
Unlike the previous generations, the fourth-generation Rio is an export-only model since it is not offered in the South Korean domestic market due to decreasing sales of its predecessor.[41] In the country, the Rio-based Stonic crossover was offered instead.
For the North American market, the 1.6-liter Gamma GDi engine was replaced by the 1.6-litre Gamma II MPi starting from the 2020 model year. The EPA fuel economy rating was significantly improved as a result, while rated maximum horsepower reduced from 130 hp (132 PS; 97 kW) to a peak 120 hp (122 PS; 89 kW).
For the Malaysian market, the fourth generation Rio was launched in July 2017.[42]

В четвёртом квартале 2005 года на рынок вышло второе поколение.
В 2010 году Kia Motors в сотрудничестве с немецким дизайнером Петером Шрайером обновила модель, изменив решётку радиатора, руль, передний и задний бамперы, добавив спойлер в люксовую комплектацию, а также добавив несколько новых цветов. После обновления длина Kia Rio увеличилась примерно на 100 мм и превысила установленный порог в четыре метра европейского класса B. Однако ни колесная база седанов и хэтчбэков, ни размеры салона не изменились.
С 2010 года собирается в России в Калининграде на заводе Автотор.

Седан (до рестайлинга) Универсал (до рестайлинга)
Kia Rio первого поколения (внутреннее обозначение как «DC») предлагался как в четырехдверном седане, так и в пятидверном кузове универсал. На момент выпуска это был самый дешевый серийный автомобиль, продаваемый в Соединенных Штатах. Несмотря на то, что стиль и доступность Rio были хорошо восприняты, его высмеяли за плохое качество сборки и опыт вождения.
Универсал продавался в США как «Rio Cinco», «Rio RX- V «в Канаде и» Rio Look «в Чили. Версия седана не продавалась в Соединенном Королевстве, и универсал там был известен как «Рио». В Греции обе версии продавались как «Рио». В Южной Корее это было единственное поколение, в котором использовалось имя «Рио», поскольку имя «Прайд» использовалось со второго поколения и далее.
Первое поколение Rio предлагало только один двигатель для каждого модельного года в США: 1,5-литровый DOHC I4 бензиновый двигатель мощностью 96 л.с. (72 кВт) с 2001 по 2002 год. Затем появилась более крупная версия, 1,6-литровый четырехцилиндровый двигатель DOHC мощностью 104 л.с. (78 кВт), используемый в моделях с 2003 по 2005 год. Все годы предлагались на выбор пятиступенчатая механическая коробка передач или четырехступенчатая F4A-EL автомат. Альтернатива 1,3-литровому (1343 куб.см) SOHC четырехцилиндровый / восьмиклапанный бензиновый двигатель мощностью 75 л.с. (56 кВт) предлагалась в некоторых других странах, включая Соединенное Королевство И большая часть континентальной Европы. Пятидверная версия для США отличалась усилителем руля и тахометром, опционально для седана. Европейская версия продавалась в нескольких комплектациях; В стандартную комплектацию всех комплектаций входит подушка безопасности водителя. Для продвижения в Греции были доступны дополнительные функции, включая кожаные сиденья и автосигнализацию. В Европе различные национальные рынки получили разные варианты выбора трех двигателей.
Версии для внутреннего корейского рынка не включали 1,6-литровую версию, так как южнокорейская налоговая система серьезно наказывает автомобили объемом более 1500 куб. Заявленные мощности для отечественных версий (JIS) были выше: 84 л.с. (62 кВт) для маленького 1,3 и 108 л.с. (79 кВт) для DOHC 1.5. Для SOHC 1,5 было заявлено 95 л.с. (70 кВт). Хэтчбек первого поколения продавался как Rio RX-V в Южной Корее.
Средства безопасности включали ремни безопасности и подушку безопасности для водителя. ABS была доступна в качестве опции для автомобилей начального уровня, но по умолчанию устанавливается на модели высшего класса (например, Rio LX в Великобритании и Rio LS в Греции).
Была версия под названием Sports-Pac, которая отличалась ковшом на капоте, задним антикрылом, золотыми колесами и синей краской, вдохновленными Subaru Impreza WRX STi. Механически Sports-Pac был идентичен обычным моделям, за исключением заниженной подвески.
Facelift
Sedan (facelift) Wagon (facelift)
В 2002 году Rio получил мягкую редизайн (для модели 2003 года в США), включая модернизацию двигателя, подвески, тормозов, а также новый внешний и внутренний стиль. После обновления в 2002 году весь модельный ряд получил на внутреннем южнокорейском рынке прозвище «Rio SF», где «SF» означало как «Научная фантастика», так и «Безопасность прежде всего».
В Европе модернизированный Rio получил незначительные изменения во внешнем виде и улучшенный двигатель 1,3 с 75 л.с. (56 кВт) до 80 л.с. (60 кВт) при 5500 об / мин, и 86 lb⋅ft (117 Нм) при 3000 оборотах в минуту.
Иранское производство обновленного Rio компанией SAIPA началось в 2005 году. До 2012 года автомобили не оснащались АБС или подушками безопасности и приводились в действие версией 1,5-литрового двигателя мощностью 96 л.с. 72 кВт) при 5500 об / мин и крутящем моменте 135 Нм (100 ft⋅lbf) при 4500 об / мин. В начале 2012 года производство закончилось.

Люк (pr e-facelift) Седан (до рестайлинга) Интерьер
Kia представила второе поколение (JB) в начале 2005 модельного года в Европе и в 2006 модельном году в Северной Америке, основанное на переработанном платформа совместно с Hyundai Accent. Двигатель был модернизирован до 1,6-литрового двигателя DOHC с четырьмя цилиндрами «Alpha II» мощностью 110 л.с., который теперь также используется в Hyundai Accent. Другие изменения включают новый дизайн экстерьера, увеличение внешнего размера и внутреннего объема, повышенные функции безопасности и экономию топлива. В этом поколении универсал был заменен новым 5-дверным хэтчбеком.
Kia предлагала седан 2006 года как Rio и Rio LX, в комплектацию LX входили гидроусилитель руля, кондиционер и проигрыватель компакт-дисков. Rio5 (США) предлагался просто в комплектации SX с кожаным рулевым колесом. Как и в первом поколении, на некоторых европейских рынках (включая Великобританию) предлагалась только пятидверная версия хэтчбека. Доступны три двигателя; 1,6-литровый двигатель DOHC мощностью 110 л.с. (82 кВт), меньшая 1,4-литровая версия мощностью 96 л.с. (72 кВт) и 1,5-литровый двигатель турбодизель мощностью 109 л.с. Однако на рынке США предлагается только 1,6-литровый бензиновый двигатель в двух вариантах кузова: четырехдверный седан и пятидверный хэтчбек. Дизельный двигатель Common Rail европейской версии развивает мощность 110 л.с. (81 кВт).
В 2007 году к седану Rio была добавлена комплектация SX с теми же функциями, что и у Rio5 SX.
В 2007 году правительство Южной Кореи начало испытания примерно 4000 предсерийных моделей Rio гибридно-электрических моделей, при этом материнская компания Hyundai Kia Automotive Group позже объявила об этом и впоследствии отозвала ожидаемые даты выпуска гибридной модели.
На 2008 год Kia предложила уровень отделки салона LX для Rio5 (аналогичный седану Rio LX) и ограниченное производство моделей Rio5 SX Tuner с шинами Falken FK452, Tanabe распорка опоры стойки и опускание пружин.
Eibach Federn.

Начиная с третьего поколения, Rio был разделен на две разные модели, одна из которых является глобальной моделью (код кузова: UB), а другая — специальной моделью для России и Китая (код кузова: QB).
Глобальная версия (UB)
3-дверный (до фейслифтинга) 5-дверный (до фейслифтинга) Седан (до фейслифтинга)
UB Kia третьего поколения Рио дебютировал 1 марта 2011 года на Женевском автосалоне, снова на основе Hyundai Accent.
. Он оснащен 1,4-литровым или 1,6-литровым двигателем Hyundai GDI Gamma. Европейский рынок также предлагает вариант с 1,25-литровым бензиновым двигателем, а также с 1,4-литровым или 1,1-литровым дизельным двигателем CRDi Turbo Diesel Engine — 1,1-литровый двигатель с наименьшими выбросами CO 2 и наибольшим MPG любого неэлектрического или гибридного автомобиля, который в настоящее время продается на момент написания; до 88 миль на галлон в смешанном цикле ЕС (73 миль на галлон в галлонах США) и выброс всего 85 граммов CO2 на километр. На этом рынке, однако, отсутствует 1,6-литровый двигатель, а 1,4-литровый является самым мощным из предлагаемых.
Варианты трансмиссии включают 6-ступенчатую механическую и 6-ступенчатую автоматическую для американского рынка, европейский рынок получает 5-ступенчатую механическую коробку передач для 1,25-литрового бензинового двигателя и 6-ступенчатую механическую коробку передач для 1,4-литрового двигателя. -литровый бензин, 1,1-литровый и 1,4-литровый дизели и 4-ступенчатая автоматическая коробка передач для 1,4-литровой бензиновой модели «2» в 5-дверной конфигурации. Интеллектуальная система Stop Go доступна практически для всех доступных уровней отделки салона и двигателя.
Rio в Европе также получит 3-дверную модель. Он механически идентичен 5-дверному автомобилю, хотя его более длинные двери придают ему более спортивный вид, который привлекает молодежь. 3-дверная также заметно дешевле 5-дверной.
Единовременная ограниченная поставка из 50 европейских 3-дверных моделей высшего класса была отправлена в Новую Зеландию на основе британской «3» отделки и продавалась как Rio Sport EX. Импортированные европейские модели имеют лучшие характеристики, чем нынешний автомобиль, доступный в Новой Зеландии, с некоторыми дополнительными опциями, добавленными к европейскому автомобилю (например, без ключа), с ограниченной доступностью, призванной сделать автомобиль эксклюзивным.
В ноябре 2011 года третье поколение Rio было удостоено награды Semperit Irish Car of the Year, а в декабре также было удостоено награды Carsguide «Автомобиль года 2011», превзойдя многие другие автомобили, в том числе подобные Range Rover Evoque и недавно модернизированный Ford Territory.
