Before the Paris Motor Show, Kia showed the public photos of the fourth generation of the Kia Rio (2016) model, which, design-wise, has European-Asian-American roots, and leans heavily on the Cee'd model, while the "tiger nose" in the memory brings to mind the Kia Sportage SUV.
New Kia Rio (2016) got a little, but really a little cheeky, because now 1.725 meters wide, which is only half a centimeter more than the representative of the third generation of this model hatchbacks, which is still waiting for penetration on the Slovenian market, while globally for Kia, the Rio model is the hen that lays the golden eggs, as its best selling model.
The hood of the new Kia Rio is wider, but lower in height. They decorate it more clean and straight lines, and the dimensions are practically unchanged. All those millimeters went at the expense of appearance. The wheelbase, for example, gained a centimeter and now measures 2.58 meters. The rear overhang is shorter, and the C-pillar is thinner and more upright. The new Kia Rio measures 4065 millimeters in length, which is 15 mm more than its predecessor, and is high 1.45 meters, which is five millimeters less than before.
