2021 Kia Rio: price rise, safety boost, six-speed auto, wireless Apple CarPlay

The first major facelift for one of Australia’s best selling hatchbacks was unveiled earlier this year – with subtle changes to the headlights and front bumper – but new information has emerged about the detailed differences.
