2006 KIA SPECTRA 5 FOR SALE MANUAL

The station wagon was dropped with this generation, replaced by a new 5-door hatchback. Other changes include a new exterior design, an increase in exterior size and interior volume, increased safety features and fuel economy. The engine was upgraded to a 110 hp 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder 'Alpha II' engine now also shared with the Hyundai Accent. Kia introduced the second generation (JB) in the early 2005 model year in Europe and for model year 2006 in North America, based on a redesigned platform shared with the Hyundai Accent. The cars were not equipped with ABS or airbags until 2012, powered by a version of the 1.5 litre engine which produces 96 hp (72 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 135 N⋅m (100 ft⋅lbf) torque at 4,500 rpm. Iranian production of the facelifted Rio by SAIPA began in 2005. In Europe, the facelifted Rio received minor changes in external look and engine improvement of the 1.3 from 75 hp (56 kW) to 80 hp (60 kW) at 5,500 rpm, and 86 lb⋅ft (117 N⋅m) at 3,000 rpm.

After this 2002 facelift, the entire range received the 'Rio SF' moniker in the domestic South Korean market, with 'SF' standing for both 'Science Fiction' and 'Safety First'. In 2002, the Rio received a mild redesign (for the 2003 model year in the US) including upgrades in engine, suspension, brakes, and new exterior and interior styling. Mechanically the Sports-Pac was identical to regular models, with the exception of lowered suspension. There was a version called the Sports-Pac, which featured a bonnet scoop, a rear wing, golden wheels, and blue paint, all inspired by the Subaru Impreza WRX STi.

ABS was available as an option for entry-line cars but fitted by default for top of the range models (i.e., Rio LX, in the UK, and Rio LS, in Greece). Safety features included seat belts and an airbag for the driver. The first generation hatchback was marketed as the Rio RX-V in South Korea.

For the SOHC 1.5 95 PS (70 kW) was claimed. Claimed outputs for the domestic versions (JIS) were higher, at 84 PS (62 kW) for the little 1.3 and 108 PS (79 kW) for the DOHC 1.5. The domestic Korean market versions did not include the 1.6-liter version, as the South Korean taxation system heavily penalizes cars of more than 1,500 cc. In Europe, the various national markets received different selections of the three engines. Additional features were available for promotion in Greece, including leather seats and car alarm.

The European version was marketed under several trim levels standard equipment for all trims included a driver airbag. The USA-version five-door featured power steering and a tachometer, optional on the sedan. An alternative of a 1.3-litre (1,343 cc) SOHC four-cylinder/eight-valve petrol, producing 75 hp (56 kW) was offered in some other countries, including the United Kingdom and most of continental Europe.

All years offered a choice of a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed F4A-EL automatic. Then a larger version appeared, a 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder rated at 104 hp (78 kW) used for model years 2003 through 2005. The first generation Rio offered only one engine for each model year in the United States: a 96 hp (72 kW) 1.5-litre DOHC I4 gasoline engine from 2001 through 2002. In South Korea, this was the only generation to use the 'Rio' name, as the 'Pride' name was used from the second generation onwards. In Greece, both versions were sold as the 'Rio'. The sedan version was not sold in the United Kingdom, and the station wagon was known as the 'Rio' there. The station wagon was marketed as the 'Rio Cinco' in the United States, 'Rio RX- V' in Canada, and 'Rio Look' in Chile. While the Rio's styling and affordability were well-received, it was derided for its poor build quality and driving experience. When released, it was the least-expensive mass-produced car to be sold in the United States. The first generation Kia Rio (referred internally as the 'DC') was offered in both four-door sedan and five-door station wagon body styles.

A second generation was introduced in 2005 in Europe and in 2006 in North America, sharing its platform with the Hyundai Accent, a subcompact manufactured by its sister Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea.Īs of 2023, there are reports that the Kia Rio is to be discontinued in Europe and Australia. The Rio replaced the first generation Pride-a rebadged version of the Ford Festiva-and the Avella, a subcompact sold as a Ford in some markets. Body styles have included a three and five-door hatchback and four-door sedan, equipped with inline-four gasoline and diesel engines, and front-wheel drive. The Kia Rio ( Korean: 기아 리오) is a subcompact car manufactured by Kia since November 1999 and now in its fourth generation.
