Kia Rio GT – City driving can get you down. Lots of traffic, hard to find parking spots and plenty of noise.
It’s also packed with little features that make city driving better. There is an 8 inch touch screen, a 6 speaker sound system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android auto connectivity and climate controlled air conditioning.
The seats are comfortable and overall visibility is excellent and parking is a breeze.
The three cylinder 1.0l turbo petrol engine and 7 speed dual clutch transmission provides zippy performance along with outstanding economy, no matter how much traffic there is.

The beauty is that the Rio GT is also a great weekend escape vehicle with enough room for all your luggage and enough performance to make longer trips comfortable
Ideal for a couple, it also can take a few friends when needed.
Kia Rio GT comes with a five star ANCAP safety rating, Kia’s awesome 7 year unlimited kilometre warranty and capped price servicing. Priced from a touch under $25,000 plus the usual costs it’s a perfect first car as well
