The towing capacity of the Kia Rio supports up to 1150kg.

Kilograms can also be expressed as kilos, and if you want to know the tow rating in tonnes, just divide the kg figure by 1000. But, before you try towing with any car, ute, van, SUV or 4x4, be sure to check with the manufacturer or your owner's manual to ensure your Kia Rio matches the example listed here.
