The Kia Rio is often a subcompact car created by the South Korean manufacturer Kia since August 2000 and from now on in its fourth generation. Body styles have included a three and five-door hatchback and four-door sedan, furnished with inline-four gasoline and diesel engines, and front-wheel drive. The Rio replaced the first-generation Pride—a rebadged version with the Ford Festiva—and the Avella, a subcompact sold to be a Ford in many markets. A second generation has been around since 2005 in Europe and 2006 in North America, sharing its platform while using Hyundai Accent, a subcompact manufactured by its sister Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea.
