The 2023 Kia Rio is a fabulously affordable subcompact car ideal for nipping around Bassett, Danville, Rocky Mount, Greensboro, and any urban jungle. The Rio offers a comfortable ride, excellent fuel economy, a choice of two body styles, an excellent infotainment system, and sensational value for money. Throw in the class-leading warranty that comes with the subcompact Kia, and it’s easy to see how a new Rio can make more sense than a late-model used compact.
It can be easy these days to get confused by different models, trim levels, engines, and transmission options. But there needs to be more to be concerned about in those areas with the delightfully straightforward 2023 Kia Rio. The most challenging decision may be choosing between the four-door sedan and five-door hatchback body styles. The sedan version of the 2023 Rio is available in two trim levels, while the hatchback gets offered in a single, straightforward, well-equipped model. The 2023 Kia Rio sedan comes in LX and S trim levels, and the hatchback comes in a high-spec S trim level.
Which body style you prefer is entirely up to you. While some may agree that the hatchback is the sportier-looking of the two models, many will choose to go down the traditional sedan route. Both versions of the 2023 Rio are attractive, modern, and stylish little cars, with little hint of them being budget-driven compromises.
Kia provides the 2023 Rio sedan and hatch with a powertrain that perfectly suits them and the environments where they’re likely to operate. The powertrain delivers ample power and performance required for negotiating the urban environment a small car like this is designed for, along with decent fuel economy. The engine powering all versions of the 2023 Kia Rio is a 1.6-liter inline-four producing 120 horsepower and 112 lb.-ft. of torque, which gets sent to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
If we leave hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and EVs out of the conversation, the 2023 Kia Rio is one of the most fuel-efficient and affordable new cars available, which are increasingly important considerations for new car shoppers today. Regardless of body style, the EPA fuel economy ratings of the 2023 Rio are 33 mpg in the city, 41 mpg on the highway, and 36 mpg combined.
The fabulously affordable Rio LX is a great little car with a longer list of standard features and equipment than you might imagine for such an attractive price. Standard LX features include automatic on/off headlights, a rear-view camera, a USB port, a 12-volt outlet, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, a six-speaker audio system, air conditioning, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
The Rio S sedan and hatchback cost less than the base LX sedan. However, they build on the base specification with USB charging ports, cruise control, remote keyless entry, rear-seat headrests, and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat. The S sedan and hatch also allow you to upgrade your Rio with options that include alloy wheels, Kia Connect, Smart Key with push-button start, automatic temperature control, and several advanced active safety features.
