Get behind the wheel of a Kia Rio with these special offers
22 September, 2023
Originally launched on local shores in 2017, Kia’s Rio remains a highly competitive offering in the B-segment of the local market. The Kia Rio was refreshed at the end of 2020 with enhancements to its exterior design and increased standard specification across the range. Kia Retail are currently offering a number of special offers on this competitive hatchback. This includes a special deal on the Kia Rio 1.2LS MT at just R4999 per month along with R16 000 deal assistance or zero
deposit. Kia Retail are also offering 2022 Kia Rio’s with the balance of their five-year/unlimited km warranty from R259 900 or R4299 per month.
Dealerships in the Kia Retail network are offering customers the opportunity to revitalise their Kia Rio with any oil service on any Kia Rio Pre-2018 model from only R999. This offer is available for all naturally aspirated petrol models older than five years. The Kia Rio features distinctive styling that is defined by straight lines and smooth surfacing. Upfront the Rio is characterised by a tiger-nose grille which has been narrowed for a more focused appearance. The grille design is matched by a lower, wider front bumper and distinctive fog lamp housing.
Under the bonnet: The Rio is available with Kia’s familiar and popular powerplants which includes the 1.25-litre and 1.4-litre MPI petrol engines. The 1.25-litre produces peak power of 61kW at 6 000rpm and 120Nm at 4 000rpm and power is transferred to the front wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox. The 1.4-litre offers 73kW at 6 300rpm and 135Nm at 4 200rpm and is available with either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission.
The body shell is constructed with inherent safety as a priority thanks to the use of 51% Advanced High Strength Steel which gives the Rio the structural integrity required to keep occupants safe in case of an accident. Along with driver and passenger airbags the Rio features front seatbelt pre-tensioners with load limiters, side door impact beams. Isofix child seat anchors are standard across the range as is ABS. ESC and HAC are available from LX grade upwards.
High levels of standard safety across the range: Standard specification on LS grades includes air-conditioning, electric windows, electric side mirrors, central locking, six speakers, steering wheel-mounted remote audio controls, rake and reach adjustable steering and 15-inch alloy wheels. The Rio LX adds front fog lights, a centre console armrest, leather wrapped steering wheel and gearshift lever and a 4.2-inch LCD supervision instrument cluster to the offering.
The Rio EX takes this one step further with the addition of projection headlamps, LED daytime running lights, rear park assistance systems with integrated rear view camera and 17-inch alloy wheels. The top of the range Kia Rio Tec gains further
specification in the form of automatic air-conditioning, rain-sensing windscreen wipers, LED rear combination lamps, cruise control, an electro chromatic rear-view mirror, alloy pedals and leather upholstery.
All brand-new Kia models, including the Rio, are sold with an unlimited kilometre/five-year warranty, which is transferrable to subsequent owners.
