The next generation model will have a more «adult» design. The novelty will be fully revealed at the end of the year.
A fresh portion of spy photos of the new generation four-door Kia Rio arrived in time: these shots were taken in Korea (but the model is not sold there, it is only run in the company’s homeland), they were published on the Naver online platform by a user whose nickname can be translated as Ari (아리) . Recall that today in the range of the brand, in fact, there are two Rios — the global one and the one that was produced in Russia. The first state employee now wears the internal YB index, in Europe and Australia it is presented exclusively as a five-door hatchback, while in America and the Middle East there is still a sedan. The Russian Kia Rio (FB, sedan and hatch) is related to the already deceased Chinese model Kia K2, production of our version was stopped last year after the start of well-known events, although, judging by the sites of local dealers, the cars are still available. As for the caught prototype, this is obviously the future «world» sedan. At the same time, it is possible that Rio for the Russian Federation, if it were to move to a new generation, would be unified with the global model.

Rio will change its image, make it look more solid: the silhouette will stretch, headlights and the lights will become narrower, in addition, under the head optics, vertical blocks of either running lights or fog lights (or both) will be installed, and on the stern, there will probably be a functional die (like the current Russian Rio). Finally, additional windows will appear in the rear roof pillars.
The dimensions of the new generation Kia Rio are still unknown, but judging by the photos, the sedan will be larger than its predecessor. The length of the current global “four-door” is 4385 mm, the wheelbase is 2580 mm (the indicators of the four-door model for the Russian Federation are 4420 and 2600 mm, respectively).

The spies did not look into the salon. Most likely, inside there will be a virtual tidy and a large touchscreen of a multimedia system, and the screens can be placed in one case.
There is no information about the technology. For example, in the countries of Latin America and the Middle East, the line of the current Rio sedan includes gasoline «aspirated» 1.4 and 1.6 (similar engines in the Russian Federation).

The new Kia Rio will enter the market in the fourth quarter of this year, according to a general press release on the updated strategy of the company. It is stated that the production of a fresh model will be established at a plant in Mexico (the previous global Rio is also made there). By the way, it is still not known for sure whether the five-door Rio will remain in the range of the brand. Russia is not mentioned in the Kia release.
