While the Kia Rio has not always been the most popular model here at Central Kia of Irving, we anticipate that to change soon. The 2012 Kia Rio has already seen a lot of attention from auto experts. For example, Consumer Guide goes on to say that the new Kia has "[g]ood power for the class, a comfortable ride, fine practicality, and handsome looks inside and out . . .  [a]well-rounded package. Competitive EPA fuel economy estimates are a strong point as well. Small-car shoppers should be sure to add the 2012 Kia Rio to their list."¹

The new Rio features several unexpected add-ons and comes in two different body styles: sedan and five-door hatchback. Trims available include:

• Base LX
• Midlevel EX
• Top SX
  

Safety features include:

• Hill Start Assist Control
• Electronic Stability
• Vehicle Stability Control systems
• Four-wheel ABS brakes
  
• Six airbags and
  
• Antilock breaks
  

Along with these features, all new Kia models come with an outstanding warranty package. Drivers certainly won't be disappointed in the impressive number of attributes, including: 

• Sport-tuned suspension
  
• Small front corner windows
• LED accents
• Retractable electric side mirrors
• Sports wheels

The MSRP for the Kia Rio comes below 20k for the top trim. The 5-door hatchback is more pricey compared to the sedan, but it also gets better gas MPG. The 5-door hatchback can get up to 30mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway, while the sedan gets 27 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. Either way you look at it, you are getting a great deal on a terrific vehicle.
