Reviewer score 62%This is the updated version of the Rio that arrived in 2017. The range opens at around £14,000, but that's with a 1.25-litre naturally aspirated engine. At £21,000 in GT-Line S trim, the Fiesta comparison is surprisingly valid. The Rio’s handling is still about as exciting as a day in lockdown, mind you (but at least equally safe)

Pros
- Fantastic infotainment system
- Decent fuel economy
Cons
- Awkward steering-wheel tugging
- No automatic gearbox
autoexpress[2]
Reviewer score 56%The Rio range comprises straightforward 1, 2 and 3 specifications. Prices range from £14,000 to around £20,000. All cars come with at least air-conditioning, electric heated door mirrors, Bluetooth, auto lights and LED daytime running lights. Range-topping GT-Line S adds 17-inch alloy wheels, various sportier-looking trims.

autoexpress[3]
Reviewer score 55%The facelifted Kia Rio supermini features a new mild-hybrid 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine. The engine is supported by a small lithium-ion battery that feeds a belt-starter generator. This can add a short boost of torque when pulling away or accelerating at low speed to help take the load off the petrol engine. Along with the new engine, the Rio receives Kia's new six-speed intelligent manual transmission. It's a manual, but not as we know it, because you still move the lever yourself.
