Spyshots of the next gen rio hatch have also surfaced.... looks quite different from the sedan though...

I guess this is one of the few cases where the sedan looks a lot better than the hatch...

more spypics of the sedan has surfaced. I guess now that the new Hyundai Accent has been launched abroad and will be introduced here, the Kia Rio will soon follow. This car looks bigger than the current model..

Big improvement from the current model. Will Kia bring the hatch over here? The 1.2L gdi turbo sounds exciting. Sana lang di I-overprice dito...

If priced similarly, would you choose this over the new accent hatch? I think I like kia's designs more than Hyundai.

i'm dissappointed that the bumper almost looks exactly like from the all new Picanto, it feels like theyve shared bumpers.

the front looks a bit busy, i was hoping a little bit of "Optima" clean look

Knowing Peter Schreyer, he could have made a potential VW Polo looking car.

The rear looks fine.

the sedan(spy photos) naman, ngayon ko lang narealize sobrang iba pala, mukhang mas ok, baby optima :D

Bat parang nagkakaiba ang pics na nirelease ng Kia from the spy pics before na mukhang Optima? Is it because this is the hatch version and that the sedan has a whole different look? I really like the looks of the baby-Optima sedan. Really hope they will eventually bring the Optima here...

Kahit sa previous model magkaiba talaga look ng hatch and sedan.
Here's a design comparison of the new accent and rio hatch...which is better?
