Kia Rio revealed with K3 moniker, excluded from Australia

The new K3, a car model, will not be available for sale in Australia. This is because it will not be manufactured with right-hand drive, which is necessary for driving in Australia. Instead, the focus of the new K3 will be on developing markets that have less strict safety and emissions standards. These markets include Latin America, the Middle East, and South-East Asia.
