At the recent Chicago Auto Show, the 2013 Kia Rio was given some extra time in the spotlight. This is because MotorWeek, the longest running automotive television program, presented Kia Motors America with the "Best Subcompact Car Driver's Choice Award." Based on the complete package of reliability, value and style that the Rio has to offer, here at Lancaster Kia we thought the award was well-deserved.
Michael Sprague, executive vice president of marketing and communications for KMA, boasts, "As our smallest and most affordable offering, the Rio delivers an athletic feel and fresh design while bringing an abundance of standard amenities that elevate Kia's value proposition to new levels of sophistication. Being recognized by MotorWeek for a second consecutive year is a testament to the Rio's ability to meet - and exceed - our customers' expectations."1
The Kia Rio sports a 1.6-liter gasoline direct-injection four-cylinder engine with the option of a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission (LX option). It produces 138 horsepower giving drivers a balance of both power and efficiency. With the ECO package, it gets an EPA estimated 30 miles per gallon with city driving and 36 mpg on the highway.
In terms of its exterior, it sports the signature Kia grille design, with stylized headlamps. This gives it an overall sporty and sleek appearance. The interior cabin offers passengers great comfort and modern design to enjoy on all of their driving experiences.
