Kia Rio GT Line makes debut in Geneva
The new #kia Rio GT Line has made its public debut today at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show. The Rio is the latest model from #kia to be available in GT Line specification, following the recent introduction of Sportage, Picanto and Sorento GT Line models.
Broadening the appeal of Kia’s global bestselling B-segment hatchback, the new Rio
GT Line boasts versatility, a responsive turbocharged engine and engaging handling with a sporty new look inside and out, drawing inspiration from Kia’s range of ‘GT’ models, such as the original cee’d GT and Optima GT.
The Rio GT Line is powered by Kia’s 1.0-litre T-GDi (turbocharged gasoline direct injection) engine, a responsive powertrain that provides willing acceleration and contributes to the car’s immediate handling characteristics thanks to its light weight.
Michael Cole, Chief Operating Officer for #kia Motors Europe, commented: “The Rio is one of Kia’s best-selling cars globally, and we have already sold more than more than 54,000 units of the new model in Europe after it went on sale in the first quarter of 2017. The new GT Line specification enhances the car’s desirability and will help grow Rio sales in 2018 and beyond, thanks to its range of comfort and safety features, superb versatility, and confident, sporty styling.”
The new Rio GT Line goes on sale across Europe from the end of Q1 2018.
