Asked by ArabianRide Oct 20, 2019 at 04:45 PM about the 2016 Kia Rio

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My Kia Rio 1.4, 2016 does 120kmph at 3,400
RPM

While the Hyundai Accent with the same
engine 1.4 but CVT transmission does 1,850
RPM (strangely low)

I would like to replace the Automatic with the
CVT,

Is it possible?

Are you having issues with your rpms going up and down like crazy while driving and it reviving up and down while driving. Sometimes my steering is difficult when this happens. This happens every day when I drive. My Rio is a 2019. I just got it in June. And they told me when I bought it was a cvt engine. I just found out this past Monday it isn’t a cvt. I hate I left Honda after 6 yrs for kia. I made a big mistake :’(
