New Kia Rio
The all-new 4th generation Rio is on sale now and is a major step forward in Kia's relentless drive to upgrade the style and quality of its entire model range while hammering down fuel consumption and CO2 figures.
By 2012 Kia aims to have the newest product line-up on offer in the UK. The arrival of the new Rio, and for the first time as a three-door from early 2012, is a significant milestone towards that ambition.
UK-best fuel economy and emissions
The new Kia Rio will be available with four engines - two petrol and two diesel - including a 1.1-litre three-cylinder turbodiesel with lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions than any other non electric car on sale in the world, including hybrids and eco specials from rival companies.
Fitted with 15-inch wheels and sporting the full gamut of Kia's EcoDynamics fuel-saving technologies - including Intelligent Stop & Go engine technology, low rolling resistance tyres, a drag-reducing front grille, gearshift indicator and rear spoiler - this model is capable of 88.3mpg, with CO2 emissions of only 85g/km.
Yet with 74bhp and 170Nm of torque from a mere 1,500rpm, it delivers sprightly performance. All 1.1-litre diesel versions of the new Rio five-door have CO2 emissions below 100g/km and combined cycle fuel economy of at least 74.3mpg.
EcoDynamics technologies will be a standard feature with all new Rio diesels, including the 1.4-litre models scheduled to be added to the line-up shortly after launch. The 1.4-litre diesel is a four-cylinder engine from the same U2 family as the 1.1. It develops 89bhp and 220Nm of torque. Economy and emissions figures are 70.6mpg combined and just 105 g/km of CO2.
