I think we need to look at it objectively as such votes are based on prices, specs and what the competitors are offering in that particular country. It is all relative to what value it is being offered in that particular market. Just my 2 cents.

Please check my PM. regards.

THank you.

Go for KIA KOUP if you want 1.6 GDI but that will cost you RM135,888 OTR !!

The notable differences between Rio Sedan and the discontinued Rio EX Hatchback are

1) Rim size 15 inch on the Sedan, 16 inch on the EX
2) Tire pressure monitoring system on the Sedan, none on the EX
3) Day Time running light (single bulb) on the sedan

Similaries are
1) Both are using key system (without the push-start button )
2) Both without sunroof
3) Manual aircon
6) 6 airbags with ESC

There has yet to be any all new RIO sedan yet. At present, there is only the Rio hatchback that has been launched.

Received information that KIA Motors Corporation (Korea) will not introduce any sedan version of Rio 2017 , but will instead market the hatchback only.

Yes, of course, KIA is the major sponsor for Tennis Australian Open.

There won't be any Rio Sedan new model. There is only the Rio hatchback which has been launched in Korea and some international market. Kia Motors Corporation has no plan to release a new sedan, as I was told.

The new Rio hatchback will only be launched by either the 3rd or 4th quarter of the year and it won't come in cheap, mainly due to the unfavorable exchange rate.

Good time to consider getting the Rio sedan now, if you haven't bought yet. There is a fantastic offer for pre-registered units available.

Please check my PM. Thanks

Please to share that Pre-registered units of Kia Rio Sedan (with X variant specs ) year make 2017 now come with the following additional upgraded kits from only RM66,XXX OTR *** (Exclusive deal for LYN members)

1) Full set body kit including spoiler
2) Touch Screen Head unit with GPS / DVD Player / Reverse Camera
3) Leather seat

------------------------------------------------------

So the festive season is upon us, and buying a new car to go greet our family in style this Hari Raya is definitely in the minds of many of us.

Those who purchase the Rio Sedan within the promo period are also entitled to get a 5-years/ unlimited mileage warranty and 3-years free service program.

Available in two colour options – Signal Red and Clear White, the Kia Rio Sedan is powered by a 1.4-litre engine which produces 109 PS and 137 Nm of maximum torque.

Going against the Honda City, Toyota Vios, as well as the Nissan Almera, the Rio sedan might not be the most powerful or the most spacious model in its segment but there is one aspect in which it is untouchable by the rest – the standard features offered for its price:

6 airbags
Electronic stability control
Hill-start assist
4 disc brakes
60:40 foldable rear seats
Daytime Running Lights
6 speaker audio system
15-inch alloy wheels
Full-size spare tyre
Tyre pressure monitoring system
Leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and Bluetooth controls
MP3 and USB support
800 MB of on-board music storage
389 litres of boot space


Now, let’s see what the competitors have to offer for about the same price:

Kia Rio Sedan RM66,888*
6 airbags, ABS, EBD, HSA, ESC, TPMS, 4 disc brakes, Isofix
power 109 PS / 137 Nm

Honda City 1.5S RM78,300
2 airbags, ABS, EBD, BA, VSA, HSA, Isofix
power 120 PS/ 145 Nm

Toyota Vios 1.5J RM79,800
2 airbags, ABS, EBD, BA, VSC, Isofix
power 107 PS/ 140 Nm

Nissan Almera 1.5E RM72,200
1 airbag, ABS, EBD, BA, Isofix,
power 102 PS/ 139 Nm


While only high-spec versions of its rivals which cost much more can match the list of standard features offered here, the Rio sedan is only available in one trim level, and it gets quite a generous amount of equipment.

That being said, there is no denying that the Rio Sedan is one of the most worthwhile packages for its price in the B-segment.

Now that its price is even more attractive, those looking for a B-segment sedan should definitely pay the outlet a visit as soon as possible as the special promotion will only go on while stocks last.
