It is now in its third generation, and till now Kia Rio has won Semperit Irish Car of the Year and Carsguide's 2011 Car of the Year awards.
The second generation Kia Rio (JB; 2005-2011) was introduced in the early 2005 model year in Europe and for model 2006 in North America. It shared the same platform with the Hyundai Accent. As a 4-door sedan, Kia Rio was offered in Rio and Rio LX trim levels while as a 5-door hatchback, it was named as Rio5 and offered SX trim level in North America. It was powered by the 1.4 L, 1.5 L, and 1.6 L inline 4-cylinder engines fitted along with 4-speed automatic transmission and 5-speed manual transmission.

Specific symptoms include engine backfiring, misfiring or vehicle stalling. What's more, engine performance decreases as giving out squealing noise, lower fuel efficiency, rough idle and reduction in power. Sometimes, the vehicle would have trouble in starting as well. In fact, Rio ignition coil, Rio drive belt, Rio timing chain, Rio rod bearing and Rio air filter should get a complete inspection.
Second, braking and suspension failures. As suspension failure often shows as audible snapping, clicking or popping sounds coming from the tire wear, abnormal tire wear, vibration on the steering wheel and additional play in the wheels, we can assume that the Rio wheel bearing needs to be replaced.
