    That's not just for Australia, that's the All-New 2018 Rio.
    The All-New Rio hatchback was first unveiled in Europe (Paris), where B-segment hatchbacks are popular.

    In the US, the 5-door hatchback was unveiled together with the 4-door sedan variant.

    One of the main things stopping some carmakers from selling diesel variants here specially in the subcompact car segment is pricing. Diesel variants cost a lot more than their gasoline counterparts, not unless they start removing standard features.
    In most cases subcompacts have small displacement gasoline engines which are efficient enough.

    I guess we'll just have to wait till Kia Philippines announces which Rio models they'll bring in here.

    Looks like the Philippine-spec 2017 Rio will only be available with a 1.4-liter gasoline engine, at least for now.

    The 1.0T will be a good match for the Ecoboost Fiesta. 190nm?

    One thing you'll have to consider is the price, the higher spec Rio 1.4 GL (with 17-inch alloys) already costs P955k.
