2018 Kia Rio EX – Redline: Review

As the least expensive model in the Kia lineup, the Rio has also played a pretty important role for the brand. Some may remember the Rio as their very first car, either leaving a good or not so good first impression. Throughout the years, the Rio started to get slightly nicer with fully loaded models approaching compact car levels. For 2018, the all-new version looks to return to its more humble predecessor, with the fully loaded SX trim gone and an exterior design that shows us a more simple, less flashy look. Buyers on a budget should take notice but remember that some rivals offer more fun behind the wheel.
