Kia Pride/Rio facelift – Click above for a photo gallery
Slowly yet surely, Kia’sitting new corporate look is filtering through its unmingled lineup. We’ve seen it in play on the Forte range, the Soul, and the updated Sorento so far. Now you can add the entry-level Rio to the list. At least we think you can. The photo beyond shows the newly-facelifted South Korean domestic-market Kia Pride (the Kia Rio in the U.S. market), which is reportedly predetermined to go on auction shortly. As you can see, the car boasts one revamped front fascia, sporting Kia’sitting dog-bone grille, new lighting, and a rehaped, Ford-like lower air intake. As for the car’s tail, we’ll have to wait and see — pics haven’t hit the web yet.
Kia-World.net, which was first online with the new shots, also reports that the interior is moreover revised, featuring a reinvigorated steering wheel, a mildly reconfigured center stack, updated instrumentation, and a stereo system with integrated Bluetooth connectivity. Will we get this update Stateside as the 2010 Kia Rio? Well, the Rio’s certainly due for a freshening, so we don’t see why not, especially as the automaker makes a move toward a more unified, distinct styling language. Hat gift to Andy R.
