Kia is known for offering its buyers both safe and reliable vehicles that can help you tackle whatever your day may bring. They have continued this tradition with 
the production of the 2020 Kia Rio, which may be small in stature but packs a lot of punch when it comes to city driving. While its small size makes it an obvious choice for getting better parking options, there are also a number of other features that make it the perfect vehicle for city driving.
- Plenty of Seating To Enjoy a Group Commute
The Rio can comfortably seat up to five people allowing you to group commute with coworkers when needed. The front seats have ample head- and legroom, making it the better option for taller passengers. For drivers traveling with small children, there are two complete sets of LATCH connectors on the outer rear seats to keep them secure. The LATCH system in the Rio is considered so safe that it received the second-highest rating from the National Institute for Highway Safety.
You will also enjoy plenty of cargo space for a subcompact car, with 13.7 cubic feet in the trunk to accommodate groceries or luggage. You can even gain some more cargo space by using the 60/40 split-folding rear seats to create a flexible cargo space up to 32.8 cubic feet.
- Connectivity and Entertainment for Long Commutes
The recent model of Rio includes an upgraded infotainment system, which includes a 7-inch touch screen and six speakers. The system also features both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to allow you to stay connected with your contacts, music, and navigation on your smart devices. The system is extremely user-friendly and features easy-to-use physical controls, Bluetooth capability, USB ports, and Siri Eyes Free.
- Powerful Performance While Maintaining Fuel Efficiency
The new 2020 Kia Rio is outfitted with a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine that outputs up to 120 horsepower. While this may seem small, for the size of the vehicle, it is more than adequate to allow you to keep up with traffic and navigate the highway. The engine is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission that allows for smooth shifting and a more comfortable ride. One of the best features of the Rio that makes it ideal for city driving is its impressive fuel economy, which is an estimated 33 mpg for city driving and an estimated 41 mpg on the highway.
- Safety Features To Help Reduce Your Risk of Accidents
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the new 2020 Rio its highest rating of Good in five of its crash tests as well as the second-highest rating of acceptable in the front passenger-side crash test. It also received high ratings for how the headlights properly illuminated the road as well as a Superior rating for front crash protection.
