The Rio delivers the driver real peace of mind. The reliability and safety of this car allows you to sit back and relax, confident in the knowledge that your well-being is at the core of Kia's design.

The Rio meets (or exceeds) the toughest safety standards in the world, including all North American and European standards for full frontal, frontal offset and side collisions. Living proof that small can also be strong. The compact, but tough body is made from high tensile strength steel and also incorporates impact protection beams in each door.

A T-shaped frame which helps prevent the engine impacting with passengers. A front sub-frame which disperses impact forces. A driver's airbag, reinforced roof and even an impact absorbing steering column. Plus Rio's central locking and immobiliser looks after your personal safety.
