Affordably Priced, Fun-To-Drive Subcompact 2023 Kia Rio

Kia continues to deliver affordably-priced vehicles that are fun to drive, and the 2023 Rio is no exception. The entry-level subcompact car has one of the lowest prices in its class, but Kia manages to outfit the Rio with plenty of standard features. Drivers looking for a fuel-efficient vehicle with front-wheel drive and seating for five can find the 2023 Kia Rio at Spitzer Kia Cleveland near Parma.

Fuel-Efficient Performance and Safety Features

The 2023 Kia Rio performance fits its price and size. The subcompact four-door comes with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 120 horsepower. It has a continuously variable automatic transmission that produces an exceptional EPA-estimated fuel rating of 32/41 MPG – which are some of the best fuel numbers in its class. The engine, horsepower, and fuel ratings make the Rio a good car for city driving. It’s easy to park thanks to its small size and tight turning radius.

The base Rio LX trim has a standard Rearview Camera. Shoppers who choose the S trim level can add the Technology package filled with helpful driver-assistance technology: Forward-Collision Warning with Pedestrian Detection, Lane-Keep Assist, Lane-Departure Warning, Automatic High-Beam Headlights, Rear-Seat Alert, and Driver-Attention Monitoring. The Technology package also includes LED headlights for added visibility.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety have not performed crash tests on the 2023 Rio. However, the similarly equipped 2022 Kia Rio receives a Good rating from the IIHS, especially when outfitted with LED headlights

Plenty of Infotainment and Comfort Features

In typical Kia fashion, the automaker outfits the Rio with infotainment and comfort features that defy the sticker price. The Rio LX comes with comfortable and sporty cloth upholstery, and the driver’s seat has six-way manual adjustability. The Kia Rio technology includes an 8.0-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and Bluetooth. Drivers can use the USB port as another way to listen to phone apps through the six-speaker stereo.

The top S trim is available as a sedan or hatchback. It has the same 8.0-inch touchscreen but adds more USB ports. For more cargo space, the Rio S has split-folding rear seats. It also has cruise control and keyless entry. Drivers who add the Technology package to the S trim get sporty 15-inch alloy wheels, automatic climate control, and chrome exterior door handles.
