Among the changes are a redesigned front end with a more aggressive air intake, more prominent fog lights, and a brand new grille. There are also more body cladding fitted to the car.

Inside, the car gets a new centre console, containing a radio with Bluetooth connectivity, an improved climate control system, a new steering wheel and instrumentation, and stainless steel pedals.

The facelifted Kia Rio is expected to go on sale in its domestic market soon, with export markets expected to get the car towards the end of the year.
