The usual na nakikita satin un older model na hatch. Masyado mababa roof so sagwa.

D pa ako nakakita ng ganyang white sa pic. Maganda sana. Great choice sa P600-700k segment.

I was pretty sure na ito 'yung new Rio na hatchback dahil akala ko sedan noong nakita ko pero pagliko/pagpasok sa El Pueblo hatch pala ang likod. Sinilip ko ang loob, same interior like the "new" sedan. Baka import?

Based on the photos, it looks like the Rio hatch comes with steel wheels with covers.
I think sub-compacts over P600K should already have alloy wheels.
Does it have any airbags?

Hi! Does anyone have any real world (Philippine roads) fuel consumption figures to tell? Thanks!

Baka kahit mag search ka eh wala kang makita sa konti ata ng owners nito. Pero should be good. Malakas daw hatak.

Hi hominid,

Oo nga, ang hirap maghanap ng fuel consumption figures nito sa 'net (na 1.4 MT ang specs) at dito rin sa tsikot.

Maraming nagtanong pero walang sumagot sa mga mayroon

Inulit ko lang baka kako busy lang ang mga mayroon like gridlock.
