When was the last time you smiled when you were behind the wheel? With the spirited Rio 5-door, you’ll do it all the time. A perfectly balanced and tuned suspension system, quick-ratio electric power steering and a responsive 138-horsepower engine zip you in and out of in-town traffic and let you cruise effortlessly on the highway. If you’re worried that ‘fun’ will cost you at the gas pump, fear not: Rio 5-door is one of the most fuel-efficient cars on the road.
Rio 5-door features Kia’s newest 1.6-litre gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine, combining quick-to-respond acceleration with quiet, fuel-efficient performance. There are no compromises here.
Rio 5-door gives you a choice of six-speed transmissions – manual or automatic – engineered for smoothness and fuel-efficiency. The automatic includes a Steptronic manual-shift mode for a sportier driving experience.
What if you could just push a button to save fuel? You can with Rio 5-door’s Active ECO System. It automatically optimizes the engine and transmission control systems to reduce fuel consumption and it’s standard on Rio models with the 6-speed Steptronic automatic transmission.
Painstaking attention to details such as the front bumper lip improves overall aerodynamic performance.
