Kia Motors has released photos of the next-generation Rio, which is to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show.
The vehicle is to go on sale in the UK from September in a five-door version, but a three-door will be available from early next year.
According to Kia, the new Rio's grille is integrated with the vehicle's front car lights, which the manufacturer says gives a "new twist on the Kia family look".
Soon-Nam Lee, director of overseas marketing at Kia Motors Corporation, said that the new model is a big step forward.
"The Rio has always been successful and with this new incarnation we have a car that people will want to buy for its looks," he added.
Earlier this month, Kia Motors (UK) Ltd revealed that it sold 3,100 new vehicles in January.
This is 38 per cent fewer than it sold in the same month of last year when the government's scrappage scheme was in operation.
