The fourth-generation Kia Rio has a progressive new design defined by straight lines and smooth surfacing, giving the car a distinctive new look. The front has a broad grille which is integrated in the newly-designed, more sculpted headlamps and the fog lamps are moved out and upwards, adding greater visual width for a stronger overall look. In profile, the backwards cabin, longer bonnet, more upright C-pillar and shorter rear overhang give a stable and self-confident stance. The new interior presents sculptural forms and an ergonomic layout.
