Weeks before its global unveil at the upcoming Paris Motor Show, Kia has pulled the veil off its fourth-generation 2018 Kia Rio, and truth be told, it’s ravishing! With a wheelbase of 2,580mm, complemented by an extra 15mm added to its length and 5mm to its width, the 2018 Kia Rio has ditched the bulbous proportions of its predecessor for a much sleeker appearance.

Designed at Kia centers in Korea, California, and Germany, the all-new Rio flaunts the latest evolution of the iconic tiger-nose grille, a longer hood, longer front overhangs and shorter rear overhangs. Within the cabin, the 2018 Kia Rio welcomes a more ergonomic layout and appears to be wider due to the horizontal contour that runs the length of the dashboard.
