The Kia Rio X in the FB body is assembled in the factory near St. Petersburg only since 2020. A similar model in the Chinese market is offered under its own name, KX Cross. This hatchback is practically a restyling of the Kia Rio X-Line, which we have a separate article about.

Overview and Common Failures

Body and Interior The paint coating is thin, however, thanks to galvanization, the body holds up well. The interior features hard plastic and budget materials, but the resistance to wear and tear is decent. Among the downsides are weak sound insulation and strong engine vibrations when cold. Engine Both engines are carried over from the previous generation, where they have proven themselves excellently. It remains unknown whether the issue with scoring formation in the 1.6-liter unit has been resolved. Previously, the timing chain tended to stretch relatively quickly for overly active drivers. Transmission Both manual and automatic transmissions are quite reliable and do not cause much trouble. Suspension, Steering, and Brakes No issues have been detected so far with the suspension, steering, and braking systems.
