Interesting 2011 Kia Rio

The Rio gets to 60 mph in 9.4 seconds and through the quarter mile in 17.0 seconds at 80.0 mph. The Rio needed 127 feet to stop from 60 mph, and it outperformed more expensive models in the slalom. Soft suspension and body roll keep it from being truly sporty, though.
If seeking the most inexpensive and smallest cars made by Kia, you will find such an offering in the Rio. The vehicle is either a sedan or hatchback configured in three trims: the base, the LX, and the SX grades. The Rio5 is only offered in SX and LX trims. Across all trims, the vehicle includes a dual overhead cam 1.6 L in-line four-cylinder 110 hp engine married to either a four-speed automatic gearbox or five-speed manual transmission that comes with the base sedan only. The Rio and the Rio5 configurations share identical wheelbase measurements of 98.4 inches. Both vehicles are the same width and height. The sedan configuration is 10 inches longer in terms of body length.The 2010 Rio got minor enhancements in the sedan and hatchback including the inclusion of a new black exterior side matching moldings, tabbed grills matching other key of vehicles, bezel headlights, and integrated turn signals in the side mirrors, a new exhaust, and full-bodied colored bumpers. Interior alterations include EcoMinder light inclusions and cruise control offered as a standard in the vehicle.
