The first-generation Rio was available as a five-door hatchback and as a four-door sedan. The hatchback version was sold as the Rio RX-V (V: five in Roman numerals) in Canada, Rio Look in Chile, and simply Rio in the United Kingdom (as the sedan version was not offered there). In Greece, both hatchback and sedan were sold as Rio. In the USA, the five-door Rio was marketed as a station wagon called Rio Cinco (cinco: five in Spanish and Portuguese).

The first-generation Rio offered only one engine for each year in the USA: a 96hp 1.5-litre DOHC I4 gasoline engine from 2001 through 2002, then a larger version of the same engine, a 1.6-litre DOHC four-cylinder rated at 105hp (78kW), from 2003 through 2005. All years offered a choice of a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic.

An alternative of a 1.3-litre (1343cc) SOHC four-cylinder/ eight-valve petrol (75hp) was offered in some other countries, including the United Kingdom and Greece. A diesel engine was also available in other markets.
