2009 Kia Rio

Inexpensive, fuel-efficient, practical, enjoyable. edited by New Car Test Drive

Summary

2009 Kia Rio

The Kia Rio is an enjoyable car that's easy to live with. We found the Rio5 SX the most enjoyable, with its combination of hatchback versatility and sporty and luxury touches. All Rios come with a comprehensive set of passive safety features; even the base model boasts six airbags. All models get Kia's generous five-year/60,000-mile warranty coupled with a 10-year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty.
