New Kia Rio

[niky]

I've finally seen one up close. There's a little less kit than in the Accent (no rear center armrest, for example), but the design is very modern and very nice, even if the plastics are still Korean cheap. Overall, it's a very pretty little car.

Yung YRZ888 na Mazda 626 sa background sobrang tagal na sa Kia Quezon Ave nun, ha. Ano kaya sira dun? hehehe.

pwede na sa akin ito. kelangan ko ng umpisahan pag ipunan. magandang rims lang katapa nito pwede na. As for the cramped space sa likod, ok lang basta maluwag sa driver's area.

nope, the Rio is in the same league as the Accent which is bigger than the Getz.

i havent seen a rio hatchback yet. bakit mas mahal kun hatchback version na compared sa sedan type? i like the new rio, ganda ng porma, fuel efficient at 5 star crash rating pa ata sa U.S. saw 1 crash test ng rio sa youtube, wow, tibay! try watching it guys sa you tube.

Still havent seen Rio hatchbacks around. :D

The hatches are more expensive because they are only available in A/T. And hatches are generally more expensive than sedans in that segment.

sir available na ba ang hatch version? any idea of this car's fuel consumption? last i heard they are targeting a 680k price for the hatch. anyone got a recent price quote for this hb? thanks

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.
