2018 Kia Rio Irvine CA

When you are looking for functionality in a fun package, the 2018 Kia Rio is the way to go. This subcompact features an eye-catching design that is both modern and versatile, sporting an exterior inspired by European vehicles. Rio’s exterior is defined by crisp lines and newly designed headlights that are swept back for a more aggressive appearance, providing a more sophisticated and sporty look than any Rio before it.

Under the hood of the new Rio you will find a Gamma 1.6-liter GDI four-cylinder engine that is enhanced from last year's version for better fuel economy and more responsiveness. The engine is then paired with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission, depending on your trim choice. When combined with the automatic transmission, the new Kia Rio is able to get a fuel economy of up to 37 miles per gallon on the highway.

Three Trim Choice

The new Rio comes available in three trims: LX, S, and EX. Each trim offers something unique to its driver, whether that's exceptional value, impressive efficiency, or top-of-the-line convenience features.

Standard Tech

Notable technology features found standard on the 2018 Kia Rio include Bluetooth® hands-free functionality, a six-speaker stereo with satellite radio, and a rear-view camera system. Those who want more tech can opt for the Rio EX trim with a seven-inch floating touchscreen and UVO3.

Spacious Cabin

The interior of the new Rio is even more spacious than last year's model, offering an upscale cabin with an improved instrument panel, more ergonomic layout, and upgraded interior materials that have a more premium feel.
