Overview
YB MY21 GT-Line Hatchback 5dr DCT 7sp 1.0T Kia's five-door Rio hatch goes head to head with the likes of Toyota Yaris, Suzuki Swift " and the light-segment blitzing MG3. Powered by either a 74kW/133Nm 1.4-litre four-cylinder or, in GT-Line, an 88kW/172Nm 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo (driving through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission where non-turbo variants offer either a six-speed manual or four-speed auto), the five-star ANCAP Kia is a great drive and comes with the company's envied seven-year warranty. The interior takes four adults comfortably and is fitted out with the gear you'd expect: Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, aircon, rear-view camera, six-speaker audio and a multi-function colour control screen. An updated Kia Rio is imminent.
