subject: Kia Rio Still Boasts With The Power To Surprise [print this page] KIA Motors pride themselves in offering quality and safety that come with extensive warranties. KIA, one of the official automotive partners of FIFA (2007-2014) is also Korea's oldest car manufacturer. Founded in 1944, they now employ 32 500 people across 14 manufacturing plants in 9 countries. In Southern Africa they have 80 servicing dealers devoted to giving you the ride of your life. The Rio is one such car boasting the quality and value for money that you come to expect from Kia with the standard 5-year/100 000km warranty.
The new sporty Rio is something to get excited about, and after a test drive you'll feel the same way. Once again KIA Motors offers quality, value for money, safety and convenience all in one vehicle; all this with great performance that will allow you to enjoy the drive. It is little wonder that the Rio ranked highest in the J.D. Power and Associates 2007 Initial Quality Study; a title which it won the previous year. Nor does is come as a surprise that Rio was voted a Car of the Year finalist.
It's not all about looks, although the Rio does boast a sporty look. With brilliant driving performance, the Rio's new engine will give you the power you need; the Anti- Locking Braking System (ABS) and EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) will give you the safety you require for you and your family. Rio offers outstanding stability at high speeds and responds quickly and precisely to steering inputs in virtually different driving conditions. The responsive steering and braking systems means that you reduce your stopping distances that will assist you in controlling your vehicle.
Be exhilarated in comfort. You, and your family, are unique. So we've made our seating suitable for just about everyone. The driver's seat has a dual height adjuster for an optimal driving position that results in greater comfort over the longest distances. For convenience' sake the Rio has a 60:40 split-folding rear seat and seat backs that tilt up to 31 degrees. The Rio's superior audio system includes a radio/CD/MP3 player and an auxiliary input. Four two-way speakers and dual tweeters are positioned to provide amazing sound for those rare occasions when you get tired of listening to the engine. There's also enough room to breathe. Surprisingly generous interior dimensions result in spacious head- and legroom. One thing that won't surprise you is our emphasis on safety. The 1.6 Rio offers passive safety in the form of six airbags for protection in a serious collision. In addition to the front airbags, there's side and curtain airbags. The front seat belts also feature pretensioners and load limiters to reduce strain during impact. A state-of-the-art body shell with crumple zones is another feature that actively protects the occupants of a Rio.
The design of the RIO is exciting and so is the performance of this car. The RIO's sporty look is enhanced by the integrated fog lamps and menacing wheel arches. The sporty design of the outside is carried through to the inside where the magnificent laid out instrument panel and thick-rimmed, three-spoke tilt-adjustable steering wheel demands your appreciation.
