    Kia Rio 2016

    Kia Rio 2016

    FROM
    $6,270

    The 2016 Kia Rio range of configurations is currently priced from $4,854.

    Our most recent review of the 2016 Kia Rio resulted in a score of 6 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Senior Journalist Laura Berry had this to say at the time: Wait. No seriously wait for the new generation Rio to arrive early next year. I'm not saying this because it'll be prettier, cooler or more fashionable. Car aren't like jeans, it's not about trends, see the new Rio will be safer and smarter. If you can't wait, then go for the Cerato S, it's larger but the value for money at $19,990 makes it the smartest buy on the market right now.

    This is what Laura Berry liked most about this particular version of the Kia Rio: Great looks., Comfortable ride., Good handling.

    The 2016 Kia Rio carries a braked towing capacity of up to 850 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

    Kia Rio 2016 FAQs

    Does the Kia Rio have a timing belt or chain?

    It sounds like a pretty nitty-gritty tech question, but is the camshaft in the engine of the Kia Rio timing belt or chain driven? There’s a good reason for knowing the answer, though, as it determines whether you need to add a crucial routine maintenance step to your ownership.

    In cars with a toothed rubber timing belt, the belt and its tensioners need to be changed at an interval recommended by the car’s manufacturer to avoid expensive belt failures which can ruin the whole engine. Ignore this maintenance at your peril.

    The good news is the GL4C engine as used in the Kia Rio since 2016 uses a timing chain which should be good for the life of the engine and not need any extra maintenance.

    Is the key fob on my Kia Rio covered by warranty?

    I would think the key should be covered by the warranty, given that it failed. It’s not like it wore out through use, when I wouldn’t expect it to be covered. Contact Kia directly on 1800 600 010 and see if you can negotiate a deal for a free replacement.

    Best second-hand hatchbacks?

    An older i30 should be fine, and far better value than a Corolla that everyone chases. You also should check out a more recent Hyundai i20 or Kia Rio. They are smaller but still good cars and would have some factory warranty.
