Kia has added a 3-door derivative to its local Rio range. Available in the full TEC specification, it offers the same equipment as that of the 5-door derivative.
This means the car is equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, a USB and auxiliary jack and steering wheel buttons to name a few. The 1,4-litre petrol engine develops 79 kW and 135 N.m, while both a manual gearbox and an automatic transmission are available.
Although a sunroof is optional on the 4- and 5-door models (R7 000), it is standard on the 3-door model.
