2006 Kia Rio Sedan

Does Naza have any plans to bring this in? The Hyundai Accent sedan seems to be doing well.



Specs are the same as the Kia Rio5 hatchback that Naza had brought in to Malaysia.

    Underneath the skin, this car is the same as the Accent. And the Accent itself isn’t exactly a good car. And for those who don’t know, Hyundai and Kia are in the same family. Hyundai is supposed to be more premium whilst Kia the more affordable. So, in other words, the Rio is less good than a not very good car.
