Explore the Affordable 2015 Kia Rio at Classic Kia

Feb 13, 2015

It may seem hard to find an affordable new car in your budget these days, but don’t give up. Classic Kia has a number of low-priced models that may meet your driving needs. One such option is the 2015 Kia Rio. Available near Kenosha, the 2015 Kia Rio comes as either a subcompact hatchback or sedan.

Many subcompacts can seem underpowered, but that is not the case with this 2015 Kia car. Each model is powered by a 1.6L four-cylinder engine producing 138 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque. Models can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 9.4 seconds, which is about a second quicker than most cars in the class. Drivers have the choice of either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic, depending on preference.

An automatic stop-start system is available to help preserve fuel efficiency. When the driver stops at a light or idles, the engine actually shuts off, but the electronic features of the car like air conditioning or the stereo still work. This way no fuel is wasted when you’re just sitting. As soon as you’re ready to go, the gas engine springs back into life.

With three trim levels to choose from, you can be sure to find the features you want. Base 2015 Kia Rio LX trims have quite a few tech gadgets like USB connectivity and satellite radio. Move to the higher trims for Bluetooth connectivity, a touchscreen interface, keyless ignition and entry, and class leather upholstery.

Sedans give drivers an excellent 13.7 cubic feet of trunk space. Hatchbacks improve trunk space to 14.9 cubic feet. It is also easier to fold down the rear seats to easily fit in 49.8 cubic feet of your stuff. The choice is yours depending on your space needs.
