2020 Kia Rio MPG

For many drivers, the appeal of the 2020 Rio lies in its efficiency. From the daily commute to your next road trip, you can save on fuel and go farther. The Kia Rio sedan and Rio hatchback get up to an EPA-estimated 33 city/41 highway MPG and will limit your stops at the pump.¹

The two Rio models share powertrains. Both run on the 1.6L 4-cylinder engine that can generate up to 120 horsepower and 112 lb-ft of torque. An Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) allows for smoother transitions and keeps the Rio running efficiently.

The Rio is a front-wheel drive car, and its athletic handling makes it one of the sportier cars in the class. You’ll feel poised and ready for anything behind the wheel!

2020 Rio Interior: A Feel-Good Cabin

The Kia Rio sedan and Rio hatchback share many of the same amenities inside. Both have UVO infotainment systems, complete with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for smartphone connectivity. Stay connected with a range of features at your fingertips.

Where cargo space is concerned, the Rio sedan and Rio hatchback diverge. The Rio sedan has a 13.7-cubic-foot trunk with room for the essentials, from groceries to weekend bags. Choose the Rio hatchback for a cavernous 17.4 cubic feet and 32.8 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. It’s perfect for your luggage for that well-deserved vacation you’ve been planning.

The Rio hatchback’s 60/40 split-folding rear seats let you configure the cabin for both passengers and cargo. Make it your own and see where your drive takes you!

2020 Kia Rio Trim Levels 

There are two trim levels to choose from when you consider the 2020 Rio. The sedan is offered as both the LX and S trims, while the hatchback is only available as the S trim. The Rio LX sedan comes standard with several advanced features, including Bluetooth® and a standard 7-inch touch-screen display.

The top-tier Kia Rio S adds even more to the mix. Enjoy commercial-free entertainment with SiriusXM® Satellite Radio and take advantage of the convenience of remote keyless entry! The Rio S also includes cruise control, so you can set the speed for your adventure.
