Why do you take the time to embed images, but not YouTube videos?
 
Also 4 speed auto?

No...actually six(!) for the US!

"Power is channeled to the front wheels through either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission in both the Rio sedan and Rio 5-door. Output is a spirited 130 horsepower and 119 pound-feet of torque for a more engaging driving experience."
 
Kia SA is heavily punting the outgoing model.

Imo the best deal depending on budget is "Rio Deal 1".
 
Very underwhelmed by the exterior aesthetic of this new gen Rio. It might be the new wheels, which seem very small and bland compared to the outgoing gen's. The Rio, perhaps assisted by the large aggressive wheels in the past, always had a very cool/aggressive attitude look about it. This new one just appears a lot more reserved to me. But again, perhaps it's just those wheels...

It's the nose. Makes it look like a Picanto.
 
Saw one of them as I was going past Kia Paarden Eiland. Slightly generic looking. Prefer the rounded look of the soon to be replaced model.
