The Rio popped onto Kia’s scene back in 2005, and has not changed its look since – so this is a big move for the tiny car, with a new front end and enhancements throughout both interior and exterior design. The new grill is tighter, looks a little more aerodynamic, and gives Rio more to smirk at. Inside, Kia has a revised center stack with new controls and upgraded audio system with Bluetooth connectivity. It also features new steering-wheel design and slightly updated gauges on the instrument panel.

2010′s Kia Rio should be on sale in the US by the end of this year, or early next.
