2023 Kia Rio

For 2023, the Kia Rio comes in two trim levels. The entry-level option is the LX, which features 15-inch steel wheels, power and heated side-view exterior mirrors, and multi-reflector headlights with auto headlight control. If you desire more features, you can pick the S trim level and upgrade the vehicle with the S Technology package. This package adds 15-inch alloy wheels and LED headlights. In addition to two trim levels, the Kia Rio can also be customized with one of six available exterior paint colors. These colors are Clear White, Silky Silver, Steel Gray, Aurora Black, Sporty Blue, and Currant Red.

No matter which version of the Rio you choose, the compact sedan is powered by a 1.6-liter inline-four gas engine. This engine pairs with a continuously variable automatic transmission and can generate up to 120 horsepower and 112 pound-feet of torque.

The compact sizing of the Kia Rio makes it perfect for city driving. Drivers of all skill levels can feel at ease when navigating tight spots. To add, the tight turning radius can help new drivers feel more confident behind the wheel. The small size of the sedan is also excellent for favorable fuel economy, making this the perfect vehicle for daily driving.

Climb into the cabin of the 2023 Rio and you are greeted by cozy and accommodating seats for up to five. Additionally, an 8-inch touch screen sits on the dash, which is compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Users can sync their smartphone to the vehicle for hands-free music and podcast streaming, phone calling, and text messages. Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port, and a six-speaker stereo system also come standard with the Kia Rio.

Whether you are planning on using the 2023 Kia Rio for your daily commute to work or getting your family around town, you want this compact sedan to be as safe as possible. Not only did Kia design the vehicle to perform well in crash tests, but the sedan also comes with a rearview camera on the dashboard. If you are operating the vehicle in reverse, whether you're backing out of a driveway or into a parking spot, this camera can make driving in reverse easier and safer. You can also upgrade the Kia with additional driver-assist safety technologies if you want to feel more at ease when behind the wheel. Forward collision warning and forward automatic emergency braking work together to reduce the risk of a head-on collision, while lane-keep assist and lane-departure warning help drivers stay on their path. Driver-attention monitoring and rear-seat alert are also optional upgrades. Driver-attention monitoring sets off an alert if the sensors notice the driver becoming drowsy, while rear-seat alert sets off an alarm if the driver exits the vehicle with passengers or pets in the rear row.
