While the newly redesigned 2012 Kia Rio and Rio5-door are the smallest cars in the Kia lineup, there isn't anything small about the Rio's value, dependability and expressive characteristics. The Rio is a fun-to-drive, fuel efficient car that offers an uncommonly spacious interior and an amazing list of standard features and equipment. When it comes to overall value and affordability, the 2012 Kia Rio and Rio5-door are light years ahead of the Ford Fiesta, Honda Civic and VW Golf. Prior awards for the Rio include a 5th place ranking in Insure.com's "20 Least Expensive 2009 Vehicles to Insure," along with a nod in 2010 for Consumer Guide Automotive's "Recommended Vehicles."

New improvements and changes for both 2012 models include sleeker, redesigned body styles, a more powerful engine that delivers up to 40 MPG, and Kia's latest addition, Idle Stop and Go technology. With the 2012 Kia Rio from DFW Car Central, the pursuit of happiness was never this much fun - or affordable!
The Kia Rio and Rio5-door form a line of subcompact cars produced by Kia Motors since the 2001 model year. When released, the Rio was the least expensive mass-produced car sold in the United States. Based off the Ford Festiva, the original Kia Rio was known as the Rio Cinco in the United States and held a variety of nameplates worldwide. The Kia Rio was initially designed with an ascetic outer body style that mimicked European-style compact cars and belied the fun to drive Rio's capabilities and comfortable interior. The second generation fixed this problem in 2006 by giving the Rio an exterior makeover and an engine with greater horsepower. Edmunds.com commented that the second generation Rio, "…is pleasant to drive, loaded with features and surprisingly comfortable." Today, the Rio continues to sell well in the United States due to its astonishing affordability, above-average gas mileage and a well-equipped interior.
