2012 Kia Rio5 spare tire answers.

[Riosx2013]

I purchased my 2013 rio5 sx in Canada, the spare tire and jack are standard for the sx model only. Wonder why up here, Kia does things differently? Not complaining at all ☺

its all how KIA Canada wants to import their models, they specify how they want them equipped, same for KIA Motors in the US. Think of them as too massive wholesale dealers where they in turn sell them to all the other dealers throughout North America in there respective territories.

The compact spare also applies to the EX model too. Similar on my Soul where the 2u and 4u models get the compact spare.

Looks like you live not too far from my location.
