2012 Kia Rio Review

Transformed Rio has much to offer and makes sure you take notice.
With a company reputation and nameplate that is often scrutinized, the old Kia Rio could easily be overlooked. Completely reimagined, it's no longer an underdog in its category. In fact, it's impossible to ignore.

In its twelfth year as a nameplate, the third generation Kia Rio brings new flair to a car often overlooked in the past. Perhaps tough enough to go up against some compact cars, the Rio starts at just $13,600 and features increased horsepower, impressive fuel economy and quiet comfort.

wow I was really impressed with your review, the editing, music, and your honest opinion, not to mention the camera shots. Was looking for Kia Rio reviews and even though yours is from 2012, not 2014, I found it very well done.

[@soupnazi81]

Great quality HD video and high production values. Love the CGI labels and panning/cool camera angles.

[@ladyyuna2000]

Both are great reviewers, but AUTOGUIDE needs to put up more reviews!

[@Swaggawagon223]

@32 seconds they show an optima?

[@Olimpico230]

Guys how reliable is the rio ? I'm thinking about buying it but i'm afraid that after some time it is going to start breaking up

[@max86max]

Hey this is in my hometown, Toronto, Canada(thank you Falco)!! I drove a rio lx+ with an automatic from PEI to Ontario last weekend. While I'd get the EX model with a manual, I was impressed with its highway manners. That 1.6 litre direct injection engine really surprised me. It's no neck snapper, but it never struggled. I had it up to 130 km/hr (81 mph) and it still felt solid on the road. It's on my list. Now do I save a few bucks and get the Rio or spend a little more for the Elantra?

[@KenniTheKid]

Great Reviewer and nice car

[@spinto12]

this man is beautiful. great review...the car looks really good.

[@moh97gt]

[@jlostracco]

[@autonathan]

We also get a hatchback here as well, however it is called the Rio5.

[@carlos9309100]

0.30 its Optema NOT a Rio!!

[@Tig-Wan]

Umm at :33 is that an optima hybrid? Doesn't look like a rio to me.

[@TheEpicuro86]

que color es ?

Canada would be a perfect country for me to move to, if it wasn't for the weather ;p It's beautifull. And so is the rio, though it has some imperfections, obviously. And what a great review, I'm a big fan of a carbuyer channel, but this is not far off

[@EverydayDrives]

I prefer the hatchback version we get in Europe, nice review btw

[@juankrodriguez9660]

excelente modelo que tiene mucha acogida aqui en Perú

[@MrChevybaja]

In reality it is less about the lack of HP in today's porky automobiles, but the added weight that is required to meet all government requirements. Great review

[@user-mi6se4eg9o]

Fuel effiency Great style Nice performance High level safety^^

[@moonbal]

[@palmerahomes]

[@melodyxiong8094]

Do you still like your Kia rio

[@mx5hong]

Wow, the brown leather interior looks very classy. Not sure if that combo is available in the US. I also notice the auto climate control which is not available in the US.

[@unplugged123]

u guys need to black out or cgi out the license plate numbers...

[@MrJamesdimaano1516]

the hatch looks better :)

[@xCaTaLoNi]

[@SweetWife84]

almost $20k for a smallest KIA is outrages

[@Benjamin-ze]

[@aptstevenadrian]

[@ASAWProductions]

[@jaymax9560]

So he hates Toyota but thinks that Kia is a step in the right direction? This guy is the poster child of lost credibility.

[@mohsinmct8526]

[@iridius001]

huh? who is this guy? you can't just go on changing presenters without prior notice!

[@elnick1000]

i bought a 2011 back in September 2012, with 40,000 on it. A year later, I have to take it in for a second time since then because of engineer warning light. The car also drives roughly. I have now 55,000, and it is the worst car I have ever had. My 97 Saturn, which I bought back then new, as a far better car, I had to finally get rid of it in 2012, with 240,000 on it, and never had problems with it below 60,000.

[@xman342]

kia sucks

[@oregonsucks4915]
