An Up-Close Look at the 2021 Kia Rio

The Basics of the New Rio

Your search for the perfect sedan or hatchback is over. The new Kia Rio gives drivers some seriously good performance and features, as well as a classy, sophisticated style.

If that sounds like it might be expensive, think again. One of the best things about this new Rio is that it’s an incredibly affordable vehicle, proving that you don’t need to put yourself in debt to get a functional and beautiful vehicle.

Pricing and Trim Options

The new Rio provides drivers with the choice of three models. Each one offers a fantastic car for an extremely affordable price. The first option is the LX sedan which will cost around $17,045. If you want something in the mid-range, then the S sedan will cost you around $17,645, only slightly more than the base vehicle.

If you’d prefer a hatchback, then the 2021 Rio has a model for you too. The S hatchback costs just $17,985.

Performance and Engine

All three Rio options are powered by this same engine. This is a four-cylinder 1.6-liter engine that gets 120 horsepower along with 112 pound-feet of torque. This is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission.

The experience of driving the Rio is fun, smooth, and controlled. The car is responsive to your every command, and bumps and potholes in the road will hardly be noticed while you’re driving.

Safety and Technology

As a company, Kia cares about its customers. That’s why it equips its vehicles, including the 2021 Rio, with top-notch standards and optional safety features. Forward Collision-Avoidance with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Following Assist, and Driver Attention Warning are just a few of the features Kia offers.

You’ll also love the car’s great connectivity features. This includes Remote Start with Climate Control and Remote Locking and Unlocking. You can also set up voice assistants, like the Amazon Alexa for your vehicle.

Interior and Cargo

You’re guaranteed to love spending time inside the 2021 Rio. If you were concerned that the inside of the car might be sacrificed for its affordability, then think again. The interior offers drivers a layout that makes sense combined with quality materials for a simple, modern, classy look.

Passengers sitting in the front and rear seats will love the amount of space they have to enjoy. There’s also lots of storage space, including in the center console bin which offers a place to put smaller items you want to tuck away and keep from rolling around the car. The seats can also be folded down if you need some extra space.

As far as subcompacts go, the 2021 Rio is one of the best. Its incredible features and good looks matched with its affordability make this a favorite among drivers of all types. Test drive one today by visiting us at Crain Kia of Fayetteville!
