Korean firm Kia brought two new models into the spotlights at the Geneva Motor Show.

First the B-segment Rio, designed to compete with small hatchbacks, displayed a sharp new look to bring it into line with the current Kia range.

Thanks to increased dimensions the Rio offers greater interior space alongside better quality materials and a higher specification.

Slotting below the Rio comes the new Picanto, the second-generation city car which is anticipated to satisfy a growing demand for small cars in coming years.

The new Picanto has a more mature look than the outgoing car and is intended to appeal to male and female drivers. Both the Picanto and Rio will reach UK showrooms later this year.
