If you are interested in a subcompact, then a Kia dealership is the place to go, where you will find the 2023 Kia Rio showcased. Small, agile, and at an incredibly affordable price point, the Rio punches way above its weight in terms of features and performance.

Lineup

The 2023 Rio lineup has three models, the LX and S, which are sedans, and a 5-Door hatchback. The main differences between the LX and the S come in terms of available colors and upscaling options, with the LX having a more limited range of possibilities.

Styling

There is something quite alluring about the look of the Rio. From the signature tiger-inspired grille to the color-matched door handles and wing mirrors, every facet of the exterior has been honed to produce a beautiful car. The S and the 5-Door are available in six colors, whereas the LX is limited to three. All models come with 15-inch wheels with covers, but the S and the 5-Door have the option of alloys.

Interior

A lot of the magic of the Rio involves the clever use of interior space. The total passenger volume is 89.5 cu ft on sedans and 90.5 cu ft on the 5-Door, which provides impressive 42.1-inch legroom in the front and 33.5 inches in the rear. It also manages to squeeze in a 13.7 cu ft cargo capacity in the sedan and a 17.5 cu ft in the 5-Door, without the seats folded.

Performance

All models feature a highly potent 1.6L, 4-cylinder engine that produces 120 hp, helping the car efficiently zip around the city yet still having plenty of grunt for longer trips. Kia’s Intelligent Variable Transmission delivers power to the front-wheel drive system, providing a smooth ride.

The car also has exceptional fuel efficiency giving 32 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway, and with an 11.9-gallon fuel tank, journeys to the gas station should be less frequent.

Safety

The Rio comes with a lot of safety features baked in. All three models have advanced airbag systems, which include special sensors to monitor for different types of impact. The vehicle’s body has a reinforced steel structure, while stability control and anti-lock brakes are likewise standard. The S and 5-Door models also have the option to include Kia Drive Wise Technology, an extensive suite of safety features to enhance and monitor driving.

Warranty

If you are looking for security, then the warranty offered on the Rio should put your mind at rest. Kia gives an exceptional 5-year or 60,000-mile limited warranty, with the powertrain having a 10-year or 100,000-mile one.

The 2023 Rio is an impressive vehicle with much to offer the driver, and it is a car you really need to see and drive yourself. Now is a perfect time, so come and see us at Coughlin Kia of Lancaster today and book a test drive.
