Kia Rio and Rio 5-Door Indianapolis

Highlights: the Kia Rio

Improvements to the Kia Rio have been gradual over the years. The most recent version remains the same reliable, steady performer it’s always been, the difference between the base LX and the top-level S trim being a matter of just a few hundred dollars. All three trims are powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that, while not the quickest out there, will deliver sufficient pick-up when you need it.

The S trim features upgrades that make it one of the very best buys in its class, with Sirius XM satellite radio, LED headlights, adjustable headrests, keyless entry, and safety tech that includes emergency braking among other help. There’s also a hatchback version with more cargo space and room for passengers and its five-door configuration comes in handy if you’re driving a family around town or cross country.

Highlights: the Kia Rio 5

The Kia Rio 5’s 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine is the same as the Kia Rio’s, with continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive making for a dependably steady ride and responsive handling, not to mention reasonably painless visits to the gas pump. There’s some cool new stuff available with the Rio 5, including rear disc brakes (part of its Technology Package, an optional feature) and an immobilizer that prevents the vehicle being started by any means except the ignition key.

Of course, the biggest differentiator between the Kia Rio and Kia Rio 5 and their competition tends to be at the pump. The Kia Rio and Rio 5’s 33 city/41 mpg highway mileage (36 mpg combined) make these popular buys among economy-minded drivers. Both come with a price tag that hovers around the $17,000/$18,000 price level (for base models).
