Is there a new Kia Rio on the way?
Just wondered if you knew when the current Kia Rio model will replaced and do you think the new model with have the 1.0-litre turbo engine? Have run a Picanto for over a year and 25,000 miles with no issues but need a bit more space and wish to have a turbo engine.

The current Rio was launched in July 2011, so on a normal model cycle would be due for replacement in 2017 or 2018. Sometimes South Korean manufacturers curt this a bit shorter. No reason why the current car should not get the new 1.0TGDI as soon as they can ramp up production sufficiently. The equivalent Hyundai i20 already has it.

Much more stylish than previous Rio. Upmarket interior. 1.1-litre chain cam diesel emits just 85g/km of CO2. Three-door from £9,995.
