Kia Rio
The Rio is Kia's most affordable vehicle and is offered in one of two configurations: the Rio sedan and the Rio five-door hatchback. It comes with a 137-horsepower, 1.6L engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed automatic. What draws buyers to the Rio is that uplevel versions can be equipped with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. A brand-new Rio will arrive for 2018.
