The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/kia/rio/">Rio</a> may not be the most popular <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/kia/">Kia</a> in the United States - not by a long shot - but it was the brand's top seller globally last year. Little wonder, then, that although the current fourth-generation model was only introduced in 2011, the Korean automaker is already rolling out a facelifted version.<br />
<br />
Set to be revealed later this week at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/paris-motor-show/">Paris Motor Show</a>, the 2015 Kia Rio has been updated inside, out and under the hood. The front end gets a new grille, bumper and foglights, there's a new bumper around back, and a fresh array of alloy wheels ranging in size from 15 inches to 17. There are also two new colors on offer, and the interior has been updated with a new center stack and chrome trim.<br />
<br />
Powertrain options depend on local market demands but range from 74 horsepower to 107, driving the front wheels through a five- or six-speed manual or four-speed automatic and available with stop/start ignition. The updates were announced for the European-spec model; we're waiting for confirmation on what, if any, of these revisions will reach US showrooms, so watch this space.<br />
<br />
While it's at it, Kia has also revealed an updated <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/kia+venga/">Venga</a>, the mini-minivan based on the same platform as the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/kia/soul/">Kia Soul</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/hyundai+i20/">Hyundai i20</a>, introduced in Europe five years ago.
