Cons: Cramped rear-seat space; rear seatbacks don’t fold completely flat in hatchback model; so-so rear visibility[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][vc_column_text]CG Says: After receiving a minor styling refresh and a revised infotainment system for 2021, the 2022 Kia Rio sees no changes other than updated badges with Kia’s new brand logo. The Rio is a subcompact car offered in two body styles: a 4-door-sedan and a 4-door-hatchback that Kia calls a “5-Door.” Rio was redesigned for 2018. The sole powertrain choice is a 120-hp 1.6-liter 4-cylinder paired with a CVT automatic transmission. Available features include Kia’s UVO infotainment system and forward collision warning with autonomous emergency braking.

The Kia Rio is one of the best cars in the subcompact-car segment; it delivers impressive levels of comfort and refinement at attractive prices. It also has decent power for the class and comes with a generous warranty.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][mk_content_box heading=”The Facts”][mk_table el_class=”new-review-specs”]
