The 2018 Kia Rio: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2018 Kia Rio for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2018 Kia Rio, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 28 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, air bags and electrical system; have those parts checked. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Under the hood
The powertrain here is the 1.6L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Combined fuel use is 7.4 L/100 km: about 22 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $114.70 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
A good match for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Room inside
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The EPA measures its luggage space at 396 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
Drive the Rio on your commute before you commit to it. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Narrowing it down
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 2018 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Talk to a person
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
