Kia will show updated versions of the Rio hatchback and Venga compact MPV at the Paris motor show later this week.
The Rio – Kia’s best-selling model in 2013 - gets revised exterior styling, most notably the adoption of Kia’s latest ‘tiger-nose’ front grille, as well as revised front and rear bumpers and new fog lights. Three new alloy wheel designs are also available.
Inside, the refreshed Rio gets a redesigned centre console, plus new chrome accents around its air vents. DAB radio will now be offered as standard in the UK, while the newest generation of Kia’s infotainment system will be used on the 7.0-inch central screen.
Engine options from the current car are maintained, and range in power from 74bhp in the entry-level 1.1-litre CRDi to 108bhp in the 1.4-litre petrol. Expect prices to increase slightly from the £9495 of today’s car.
Also on display will be the updated Venga, which also adopts the Korean firm’s new front-end design and receives new trim inside, as well as a redesigned centre console. Again, engines from the current range will be carried over.
Both models will be available from dealers early next year, with order books expected to open next month.
