As Kia’s entry-level vehicle, the sixth-generation Rio competes in the sub-compact segment and is an attractive option for customers looking for day-to-day efficiency, offering up to 41 MPG on the highway and a long list of amenities. Largely a carryover for the 2023 model year, the sporty subcompact is loaded with useful technology and is wrapped in a stylish, space-efficient package. The standard engine now includes an oil level sensor which alerts drivers if the engine oil level is low.
