The Kia Rio 1.6 is a 1.6L four-cylinder from Kia's Gamma family, a light, efficient engine built for the Rio's everyday city and highway driving. This is a used engine, compression checked where possible and inspected before it ships. Exact output depends on the version, so we confirm that with you rather than overstate a single number.
Fitment matters here: the live page lists a 2017 and a 2020 Rio, but those are two different generations with different 1.6L engines. The 2012 to 2017 Rio (UB) used the 1.6 GDI, and the 2018 and up Rio (YB) used a 1.6 MPI. Confirm your engine code by VIN before ordering. We also dropped the touchscreen and infotainment items the live copy listed, since those are car features, not engine specs.
