Published on Apr 3rd 2017 David Stafford 704 views

Kia Ireland has just launched the all-new Kia Rio to the market in Ireland. Daragh Ó Tuama from Car Buyers Guide made his way to the Irish launch of the car to test drive it for review.

We managed to get to spend a little while with the car, so this is just our first impressions test drive review. We will have a more extensive review in June when we get to spend a full week with the car.

Initially, there will be two engines available to the Irish market. A 1.2 litre petrol and 1.4 litre diesel. The petrol offer 85hp, whereas the diesel is available with an output of 77bhp or 90bhp. There will be a 1.0-litre version available to this market soon. At the moment, the new Kia Rio will be available with an option of 5 or 6-speed gearboxes.

Prices for the entry-level Rio is set at €15,950 with a 1.2 litre petrol engine.
