Performance

The most impressive performance feature of the Kia Rio is its fuel efficiency. You can expect an EPA-estimated 33 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway. These are highly competitive numbers. This gas mileage is made possible by a 1.6-liter engine that produces 120 horsepower and comes paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. It has standard front-wheel drive. The Kia Rio is agile because of its size. Drivers appreciate being able to zip in and out of parking spaces with ease in a Kia Rio.

Interior

The interior of the Kia Rio is comfortable and efficient by any measure. It seats five people, and cloth upholstery is standard. Automatic climate control is an available feature contributing to an enjoyable drive around Canyon. The Rio provides 13.7 cubic feet of space in the trunk if you choose a sedan. A hatchback model is an excellent option if you need more space. The hatchback has 32.8 cubic feet of space when you fold the back seats. Otherwise, you can enjoy 17.4 cubic feet of space. Automatic climate control is available for added comfort.

 

Technology

The 8-inch touchscreen in the Kia Rio is a good size for many drivers near Lubbock. The positioning of the touchscreen makes it easy to access, enabling you to stay focused on the road. Tech features in the Rio are flexible; you can operate some of them with a physical control instead of the menu. You can also change the climate in the car with physical controls instead of accessing the menu. Bluetooth, a Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, satellite radio, USB ports, and a stereo with six speakers are all standard features.

Safety Features

A rearview camera is a standard feature in the Kia Rio that enables Amarillo drivers to see more clearly when backing up, which mitigates the blind zone and makes exiting a parking spot easier. The rearview camera can reduce the amount of stress you feel in different scenarios while behind the wheel. Lane departure warning, a rear-seat reminder, and forward collision warning are available features. Driver drowsiness monitoring is a feature that aims to prevent collisions caused by driving while drowsy, an issue that is more common than most people realize. Lane keep assist and forward automatic emergency braking are more options to consider.

Trim Levels

The LX and S are the two trims available for the Kia Rio. The S trim is available in both a sedan and a hatchback. Both trim levels have a generous amount of features that make them worth considering.

LX: This trim is a sedan with a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder, 120-horsepower engine with front-wheel drive. It has a continuously variable automatic transmission. You will also get Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, Bluetooth, cloth upholstery, an 8-inch touchscreen, and USB ports. The LX has a quality stereo with six speakers.

S: The Rio S trim is available as a sedan and hatchback. It has a 1.6-liter, four4-cylinder, 120-horsepower engine with front-wheel drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission. The S trim has keyless entry, extra USB ports, cruise control, and split-folding rear seats.
