2006 Kia Rio5

Each 2006 Kia Rio and Rio5 comes standard with 256-mm vented front disc brakes and 203-mm rear drums. Given that this mixed setup can be somewhat difficult to modulate, Rio buyers may want to opt for the optional antilock brake package, that adds not only ABS but also 262-mm solid rear disc brakes and electronic brake force distribution.
