Facelifted 2010 Kia Rio

The facelifted Kia Rio

* For those who still don't know, the Kia Rio is sold as the Kia Pride in Korea.

"As you can see, the car boasts an revamped front fascia, sporting Kia's dog-bone grille, new lighting, and a rehaped, Ford-like lower air intake. As for the car's tail, we'll have to wait and see -- pics haven't hit the web yet."
"also reports that the interior is also revised, featuring a new steering wheel, a mildly reconfigured center stack, updated instrumentation, and a stereo system with integrated Bluetooth connectivity."

ok tong facelift na to ha. the rio badly needs a facelift. matagal-tagal na rin kasi siya sa market.

the two BIG questions are:
1) when will it be released?
2) is it justifiably priced? --- baka naman sing mahal or mas mahal pa ito sa altis knowing CACs pricing scheme

The model in the photo appears to be the high end model.
In other markets the current Rio is available with alloy wheels, they just sell the lower spec model here.

I just wonder if Kia will add ABS and airbags or at least a driver's airbag to the local spec Rio.

The lower priced P664K Vios 1.3E might not have the split folding rear seats of the local spec Rio, but it has a driver's airbag, ABS+EBD and alloy wheels.

At P695K (M/T) and P745K (A/T) the current pre-facelift local spec Rio isn't as affordable as it used to be, it makes you wonder how much more expensive the facelifted Rio will be.

What I really wanted to see in the streets was the hatch version that never came out.

It's a Kia Pride! (says on the plate)
