The 2012 Kia Rio

What the critics say about the Kia Rio. The price starts at $13,400.

Kelley Blue Book

We’re impressed by the completely revamped Kia Rio. Both the four-door sedan and five-door hatchback sport sleeker looks, an “eager” new engine, a “lavish” new interior, and “enough tech-savvy features to make others in its class jealous.” For the hatch, there’s even a considerably lower price tag. Sure, the Rio isn’t quite as athletic as a Mazda or the new Ford Fiesta. But it’s still “a shockingly good surprise” to find features this nice at a price this low.
