A solid base for the Asian long runner
The DEZENT KT graphite & dark meets the Kia Rio
The Kia Rio is a type of car the solid base of which has been fine-tuned over the years, attracting, in its fourth generation already, mainly price-conscious buyers who don’t mind certain standards. Its subtle design does without a grand spectacle, instead impressing onlookers with its delicate accents. What it could do with, is a solid base in the form of eye-catching rims such as the DEZENT KT which is available in the design variations graphite and dark. With its high load of up to 475kg, it is not only an optimal companion for modern small-sized cars like the Kia Rio but also cuts a fine figure on many other car models. The DEZENT 3D rim configurator is the perfect tool to find out which cars go best with which DEZENT wheels.
Braving winter with confidence
As a quick, compact, and agile front-wheel drive, the Kia Rio has made many friends. On top of that add the Korean’s interior space: Even tall persons will find plenty of headspace in the front while the Rio can easily accommodate four or five passengers. The front-wheel driven small-sized car has no issues with winter either. The same applies to the DEZENT KT with its 3-layered SRC finish. Thanks to the Salt & Sun Resistant Coating it will defy road salt as well as intense sun rays.
Useful mild hybrid
The 1.0 T-GDI with 12-kW starter-generator and 120PS is probably the most interesting engine in the Rio range, guaranteeing not only an impeccable driving performance but also enhancing driving pleasure as well as the joy of saving. As a booster, the 48-Volt mild hybrid supports the three-cylinder engine when accelerating, and as a control unit of the cruising function it allows for consumption-free rolling, instantly waking up the engine after a brief touch on the gas pedal.
City car boasting sportive talents
With a rather firm chassis and intuitive steering, the agile Rio is in its element both on bendy country roads and in the city. The sprightly designed DEZENT KT makes heads turn with its intricate fictitious edges, delivering a dynamic appearance. The 4-hole rims are available in 6.0x15 and 6.0x16 inches and can be fitted free-of-registration thanks to ECE and VTA approvals. In the 6x16 inches dimension shown in the picture on tyres in the 195/55 R16 size, the DEZENT KT emphasise the Kia Rio’s successful appearance in a confidently stylish way.

Easy to use
The Kia Rio’s well-crafted cabin makes a valuable impression, with a state-of-the-art infotainment system featuring compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The wide variety of in-built assist systems maintain safe driving. Large buttons facilitate control, the navigation system uses an easy-to-read 8-inch monitor.There is no doubt – the Kia Rio and the DEZENT KT, whether in graphite or dark, are a cute couple that need not fear winter.
