The most common reason for engine hesitation in a Kia Rio is a dirty fuel system. Try using a fuel system cleaner and see if that helps.

It could also be an issue with the ignition system. Make sure all of the spark plugs and wires are in good condition and replace any that are worn out.

Another possible cause is a clogged air filter. Check the air filter and replace it if it is dirty.

If none of these solutions work, it is best to bring your car to a mechanic for a diagnostic check. They will be able to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem and fix it for you.
