Thinking of buying the 2017 Kia Rio?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2017 Kia Rio for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page puts the 2017 Kia Rio in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the Rio
NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 31 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, service brakes and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The numbers in plain words
Its 1.6L 4-cylinder drives through a 6-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The EPA rates it at 7.7 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 23 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $35.82 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What the Rio is like
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA lists 425 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
Best uses
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
A longer test drive
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the Rio answers more than any brochure. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.94 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $119.40 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
