New 2023 Kia Rio & Rio5 for Sale in Tuscaloosa, AL

The 2023 Kia Rio is ideal for navigating the urban jungle with its subcompact proportions and perky powertrain, and it’s affordable enough to make a great deal of sense to a wide range of new car shoppers. The Rio is ideal as a first car, an affordable second car for a growing family, or an affordable commuter car with a warranty that provides great peace of mind. A 5-year/60,000-mile warranty is something few rivals get anywhere close to providing, and it’s one of several aces up the sleeve of the latest Rio.

Anyone considering the 2023 Rio has two body styles to choose between that help to broaden its appeal. While the four-door sedan body style is likely to be the choice of many, anyone looking for something sportier may get drawn to the hatch and the extra practicality of its extra door. The Rio lineup is also appropriately compact. The sedan is available in two trim levels: the base LX and the higher-specification S. The hatchback is only available in the high-spec S trim.

Amazingly low-priced new cars are not entirely unheard of in the market, but many need some key features to achieve their ultra-low prices. While you won’t find heated and ventilated leather seats and a head-up display in the subcompact Kia, the standard specification of the Rio more than covers the main bases. The LX Sedan has an incredibly tempting starting MSRP, but standard equipment includes a full set of power features, air conditioning, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

The higher-spec S trim builds on the base model with standard cruise control, a split-folding rear seat, keyless entry, and other welcome features. However, the available Technology Package is a fantastic option if your budget runs to it. The package includes automatic emergency braking, active lane control, automatic high-beam LED headlights, satellite radio, a digital instrument cluster screen, automatic climate control, push-button start, alloy wheels, and rear disc brakes. The Rio is excellent value in any configuration, but adding the Tech Package takes it to another level.
