Value-Packed

“Packed with popular standard tech features, and parsimonious with your gas money, the Rio is a good car at a great price.” – Austin Irwin and Joey Capparella, Car and Driver

There is a difference between choosing a car with a low price and choosing a car that is cheap. The 2023 Kia Rio has a low price and great standard features, but it’s not cheap. The attention that Kia paid to the vehicle shows that every detail was considered and that drivers are still getting a great vehicle even at a low price point.

The 2023 Kia Rio is available in a hatchback style for drivers in Canada, extending the interior cargo space and making the Rio even more of a great option for daily driving. One of the best values in the compact class, the Rio takes it a step further with Kia’s impressive warranty coverage. The automaker provides five-year/100,000-km worry-free comprehensive and powertrain warranties, as well as five-year/unlimited mileage 24/7 roadside assistance and much more.

Getting to Your Destination

“The Rio’s price of entry might be low, but that doesn’t mean you’re getting something that isn’t sophisticated enough to deal with the ruts, lumps and bumps of day-to-day driving. A squishy suspension tune and tall tire sidewalls mean that the Rio rides surprisingly well.” – Mark Takahashi, Edmunds

The 2023 Kia Rio easily gets you from point A to point B with little fuss. The hatchback is powered by a 1.6-litre inline-four-cylinder engine that pairs with a continuously variable transmission to deliver 120 horsepower. Its acceleration is on par with many subcompact crossovers, and its fuel economy is where it really shines. You can expect 7.7 L/100km city and 6.1 L/100km highway fuel economy.

Impressively, the Rio soaks up bumps in the road well for being such a small car. This is due to its solid structure and well-tuned suspension, which also does a good job of controlling body roll when going around corners.

Enjoying the Drive

The 2023 Kia Rio has a simple yet stylish cabin environment. The dashboard is clean and has all climate and audio controls within easy reach. The overall interior space comes together in a mature and sophisticated way for drivers. Space is more than adequate for all passengers, especially in the hatchback with the higher rear roofline. This also provides more cargo space for groceries, luggage, sports equipment, and more.

Kia ensures that drivers and passengers alike enjoy the drive with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system standard across all Rio models. It offers the latest wireless smartphone-mirroring for both Apple and Android phones as well.

Small but Mighty

“The 2023 Kia Rio offers great fuel economy, a low starting price, a lengthy warranty and a user-friendly infotainment system. It’s also easy to drive.” – Noelle Riddle, U.S. News & World Report

The 2023 Kia Rio packs a lot into a small package. Standard technology features, great fuel economy, and plenty of cargo space help make the Rio a great compact car. But it’s the price and the build quality that make it a spectacular value for drivers.
