Finding the right car for the urban lifestyle is no easy feat, but Kia has produced a gem with the Rio city car. It might not boast the opulence or grandness of many of today's SUVs, however, it also won't set you back a small fortune. Thankfully, you can still count on a compact car brimming with dedicated features and high levels of tech. Kia's efforts to inject a little passion and personality definitely shine through, and that makes this a great choice if you have your eyes on something more modest and accessible.
In recent years, the Kia Rio has actually delivered a fairly reliable showing for motorists, with few major issues reported. You'd have to look back more than a decade to find a noteworthy defect. Nowadays, you're more likely to encounter the general problems that plague many of today's new cars, including the odd issue with electricals and the like. Remember, don't hold cars up to impossible benchmarks, they each have their own problems over time.
Although general running costs for an efficient and pint-sized car like the Kia Rio won't hurt your wallet, you shouldn't assume that will translate into cheap maintenance or repair costs. The Kia Rio does come with a bit of a wrap for being among the more costly cars to repair in the compact and/or city-car formats, so if that concerns you, then you may wish to look at one of Hyundai's entry-level models. You do, however, have the support of a best-in-segment warranty program.
New year, new beginning. In 2019 the Kia Rio is served up in a new guise. With technology and amenity upgrades in this new generation model, not to mention Kia’s seven year warranty provision, it’s now an even more persuasive option for those eyeing a budget hatch. Even with the low price tag, you will find the likes of hill-start assistance, auto headlights, parking sensors and reversing camera in every variant. Drop a little more coin and there’s advanced safety components on offer, plus a swish looking makeover. At the top end, the GT-Line brings more performance to the table with its turbocharged motor and tuned suspension. Inside each version there are neat and convenient touches throughout, from the dash to the seats, and even in the rear with clever storage compartments. The 2019 Kia Rio also delivers increased cargo space in the boot, plus more satisfying levels of head and leg room in the rear. Looking and feeling fresh after its new year upgrade, the Kia Rio makes for a good alternative to the likes of the Suzuki Swift and Hyundai Accent.
It’s dark times in the world of small hatchbacks. Once a strong segment in Australia’s market, safety, emissions, and logistics challenges have driven the price up on stalwart favourites (like the Toyota Yaris) and pushed many nameplates (like the Honda Jazz) out of Australia altogether. So in this bleak scene, it’s a refreshing story to see Kia’s Rio soldie...
When it arrived here not quite four years ago, the current generation of Kia Rio established a reputation for good value among other light hatch contenders. Improvements have sweetened the deal since, including this year’s upgrade to a new 8.0-inch infotainment screen and the introduction of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in the test vehicle, trimme...

So we can direct you to the right place
As well as seeing the retail list price before on-road-costs (GST, dealer pre-delivery, CTP, stamp duty & registration), you’ll see how much a Kia RIO should really cost by reviewing the best driveaway Kia RIO price Australia has seen (or been quoted) including any deals, discounts & specials from Kia Australia and the new car dealers. In general they will represent brand new 2021 Kia RIO cars but may also include quotes on ex demo Kia RIOs as well as new release deals, runout & EOFY sales, 2021 plated (new only) cars and previous model years (MY21 or MY20 series). We also break the numbers down by specs, including transmission, fuel-type, bodyshape and transmission. You'll see resale values to help compare trade in offers, value showroom demos and to find a clearance sale near you. Our full range of Kia RIO reviews are provided by me and GoAuto Media and will be updated throughout 2021.
One of our accredited dealers will be in touch shortly to discuss specific exclusive discounts available on this car. At no cost, nor obligation.

The first major facelift for one of Australia’s best selling hatchbacks was unveiled earlier this year – with subtle changes to the headlights and front bumper – but new information has emerged about the detailed differences. As reported earlier, all models in the 2021 Kia Rio range will come with a new 8-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay...
