If your priority is safety, stability, gadgets, then it is a good choice.
If your priority is Resell Value, Fuel Consumption, Honda/Toyota that way -->

Naza Kia mistake with the Rio is giving it the puny 1.4 engine. But for the facelift they changed the 4 speed gb to 6 speed at least, and they downgrade the rim size from 17 inch which is overkill for B segment to 16 inch. Not sure how much improvements these made but the underlying problem is still the small engine

1.6 MPI or 1.2 turbo would've been perfect


ride and handling, fit and finish quality is beyond Honda and Toyota

should at least put 1.6L engine, baru laa umph

recent addition of 6-speed gb is good

but head unit is worse than its lesser bro Picanto, why Kia Malaysia why?

Slap it with AA & CP and buyers are more incentivized to consider lorr

and 80k too high laa - if Kia gives 15k discount then can seriously consider

the head unit is already same as Picanto, even before the refresh. (its available on the refresh last batch)

Naza stupid didnt highlight this
