Miles Overview
The Rio is Kia's smallest car, a subcompact offered as a sedan or a roomy hatchback. It feels eager around town, with light steering and a ride that's composed on most roads. Inside, the cabin is surprisingly upscale for the price, and the hatchback swallows a lot of cargo. Owners report solid build quality and few problems, and the long warranty backs it up. The LX S is the Rio that most budget-conscious buyers pick; it skips the base LX's manual-transmission option for the smoother automatic. Its 1.6L I4 makes 120 horsepower and works with the automatic transmission to get 36 mpg combined, which makes it a thrifty commuter. Keep expectations modest: the LX S's suspension is tuned for comfort, not sport, and it rides on steel wheels.
