13 years, 8 months ago - 2 April 2011
Korean automaker will be unveiling its 2012 Rio sedan at the 2011 New York Auto Show. The four-door Rio will complement the hatchback body style that bowed at the Geneva Motor Show in early March.
Four powertrains will be available on the Rio overseas – two gas and two diesel. This mill produces 108 horsepower and 100 pound-feet of torque, mated to either a six-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.
In other news, Kia also let slip that the KV7 concept from this year's Detroit Auto Show previews what's in store for the next-generation Sedona minivan. It’s become knew after a conversation with Michael Sprague, Kia's vice president of marketing, though it's still unclear exactly what elements from the KV7 will be incorporated into the next-gen Sedona. The concept focused on a more traditional conversion van setup rather than the family-centric Sedona that currently graces our streets.
