The 2010 Kia Rio


Kia Rio has been one of the most affordable sedans in the market, and the 2010 Kia Rio won't be an exception either. With plenty of luxury features and a decent throughput of 109hp, the 2010 Rio will be an ideal option for those who can't afford to shell out big bucks on the Hondas, Toyotas and other expensive vehicles.

The 2010 Rio will share its basic design with its sibling Hyundai Sonata, though pricing-wise Rio will be a lot cheaper than Sonata. More so, the new Rio doesn't lag behind any of its rivals in terms of aesthetics as well as comfort. The latest generation Rio vehicles will feature a satellite radio, which will also be able to work as an MP3 player.

As far as the engine variations are concerned, the 1.5L turbo-diesel engine will be available on in the UK markets, while the North American markets will be flooded with the 1.6L DOHC engine that churns out 11hp.

Moving on to the fuel economy, the 2010 Kia Rio will follow the standards set by its predecessors and is expected to achieve a great mileage in excess of 25mpg. Even the safety features including ABS, traction control, optional heated front seats, front and side curtain airbags and much more will be made available in the new Rio.

Therefore, unless you're hell bent on buying the new Honda Civic, Accord, or Hyundai Sonata, the new Rio may just be the ideal package for you; that too at an extremely affordable price.
