Product Overview

Kia Rio Mk3 (chassis code UB) is an affordable subcompact hatchback in production from 2011 to 2017. It was available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.1 to 1.4 liters.
Compared to the Mk2 model, the Mk3 received a much improved exterior design. Still, Kia stuck with semi-independent rear suspensions. The tiny engines on the Mk3 Rio are underpowered, though the Rio makes for a decent city car for budget-conscious consumers.
