Kia Rio – Review, Specs, Pricing, Features, Videos and More
Subcompact cars are not as popular as they once were, and few choices remain. Kia is one of the few players still in this segment. The brand’s stylish Rio continues on, available as both a hatchback and a sedan.
The sedan is offered in two trims, the LX and S. The hatchback only comes as the up-level S model. All Rios are powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine paired to a continuously variable transmission. S models include some impressive features like push-button start and a 8-inch infotainment screen.
