    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.

    -Top Gear

    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.

    The TOTL unit MUST have a touch screen LCD in this day and age. With the current design i doubt a standard 2Din HU would be compatible

    I'm curious about the spec level of the Rio SL. That would seem to be their volume driver for this model.

    735k for the MT puts it squarely into Vios E MT category. The 845k AT is in an unusual spot between the City E and City VX, so it better be competitive with kit.

    I'm digging the Euro understated styling. Not so much the 4AT.

    I'm also curious about that MT SL variant. Vios E MT right now is more or less 765K. I'll go for 735k if that variant has safety features like dual airbag and ABS I don't care how ugly the head unit is as long as I'm comfortable inside, but that's just me.

    Most likely. They need a model for the taxi market
