2021 Kia Rio 5-Door

尽管身材矮小的大小和谨慎disposition, the 2021 Kia Rio 5-Door is actually one of the most quintessential urban-centric cars money can buy. With a pragmatic 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine at its helm calibrated for just 120 horsepower, it's clear that the Rio 5-Door hatchback has been purposed solely for the sound and efficient transportation of students, young professionals, and small families around the urban and suburban settings. In other words, no driving enthusiast will find any pleasure from the subcompact hatch and no leisure-seeker will find any veritable form of luxury. At a price of $16,990, the 2021 Kia Rio 5-Door hatchback aims to grab the attention of a different type of buyer, one that'll be on the hunt for a vehicle that will get them from point A to point B comfortable, safely, and reliably and all at an affordable price. In that space, there's also theToyota YarisandChevrolet Sonichatchbacks, and even the cherishedHonda Fit。尽管2021年里约热内卢5-Door确实有一些非常compelling contemporaries, it still persists in the rapidly dwindling classification for good reason.

Though it has just 120 hp and 112 lb-ft of torque instilled to its 1.6-liter inline-4 gas engine, the Rio 5-Door hatchback still has enough power to feel pretty nippy and smooth off the line, particularly around town. The engine comes mated with a continuously variable automatic transmission, which supports the Rio's compliant and thrifty character, efficiently forwarding outputs to the car's front-wheel drivetrain. The Rio 5-Doors performance is fairly pleasant overall, it's even a little entertaining at times, but it's clear that its penchant is for driving ease and fuel efficiency.

When it comes to entry-level budget motoring, the 2021 Kia Rio 5-Door hits all the right marks really well. It's one of the most affordable cars sold in the USA and it offers oodles of value in the somewhat fun and very economical performance that it delivers, and in its superb safety and reliability standards. It feels nippy around town and is exceptionally easy to drive with its subcompact proportions and light curb weight. Two adults and three children will happily occupy the hatch - the cabin is fairly spacious and comfy and there's a good amount of room in the trunk for work stuff, groceries, and school bags. The standard selection of creature comforts and conveniences is rather scanty, but the eight-inch infotainment touchscreen and inclusion of wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay sets the Rio 5-Door a step ahead of many of its competitors and should be more than enough for the average commuter. The IIHS's review of the 2021 Kia Rio 5-Door reports excellent scores across the board, and J.D. Power granted the model above-average reliability ratings. All in all, the Kia Rio 5-Door offers exceptional value for the money and is an ideal urban runabout.

Kia proffers the Rio 5-Door as a standalone model but there are some options available to peruse. Considering that the Rio doesn't come very well outfitted with driver assists, we'd suggest opting in the Technology Package. This equips the hatchback with LED headlights, automatic climate control, and some much needed advanced driver-assist features including forward collision avoidance with pedestrian detection, and lane-keep assist with lane departure warning.
