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.
Small cars are truly no longer synonymous with cheap and nasty. In order to move any non-rental-fleet units at all over the past decade, manufacturers have had to race to give their small cars higher tech and more premium makeovers. Hyundai gets a free pass because its (relatively outdated) Accent is favoured by rental and corporate fleets, the Toyota Yaris...
The Kia Rio has been mildly facelifted for the 2021 model year, with specifications updated across the range, but fewer changes apply to the entry-level Rio S with manual transmission tested here. There’s now wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, which are run through a new 8.0-inch infotainment screen. Kia Australia is currently offering the Rio at a price bel...
The facelifted Kia Rio GTLine continues to impress with its blend of practicality and warm performance.

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.

Not so long ago, ‘basic’ meant ‘pretty rubbish’. Actually, you could probably switch basic out for ‘entry level’ in fact. Cheap cars used to be pretty, well, cheap, but that’s not the case anymore.
