Even though the sedan market is shrinking, there is still hope for the subcompact market, which the Kia Rio is in. Its hatchback design is great, especially when the rear seats are folded down, giving the driver access to over 17.4 cu.ft. of cargo space.
The Rio is no stranger to the automotive market, having been around since 2000. It is now in its fourth generation. This model was first presented in 2016, and Kia made some obvious tweaks to better appeal to its customer base. The hatchback model is 15mm longer, 5mm wider and 5mm shorter in height than its predecessor.
FOR city folks, the five-door KIA Picanto is ideal as it matches comfort and value with a lifestyle characterised by traffic congestion and limited parking experienced.
Externally, the stubby styling highlighted by KIA’s signature ‘tiger’ front grille and some aggressive angles, partly due to its size, gives the Picanto a more sporty visual differentiation to its class rivals.

In honour of the 20th Anniversary of the Jamaica Observer’s Table Talk Food Awards held on the lawns of Devon House, the team at Audi pulled out all the stops as we reserved our most scrumptious morsel, the Audi RS 5 coupe as our car for the night.

Immediately, as the red wrapper was removed for this elegant white confectionery built on the heritage and success of the first generation, the Audi RS 5 drew the crowd to a standstill with its sensual curves and contours.
