Every year, we are incredibly impressed with the new models that roll onto the Barnett Kia lot here at 3610 Highway 61 North White Bear Lake, MN 5510. We aren't the only ones who've noticed how great the car maker's new lineups have been for the past few years. For example, MotorWeek has given the 2013 Kia Rio its "Best Subcompact Car Drivers' Choice Award" for the second year in a row.
The popular automotive TV show was especially taken with the budget-conscious sedan this year. Michael Sprague , executive vice president of marketing and communications for Kia Motors America, attributes this recognition to the model's athletic feel, sophisticated design, and a level of comfort that is not found in a lot of cars in its class. "Being recognized by MotorWeek for a second consecutive year is a testament to the Rio's ability to meet - and exceed - our customers' expectations."1
To further illustrate just how great a car the Rio is, here's a list of some of its standout features:
- Three different trim levels - SX, EX, and LX
- A 1.6-liter direct-injection four-cylinder engine that is powerful but fuel-efficient, getting up to an EPA estimated 30 mpg city/36 mpg highway when it has the ECO package
- An athletic and highly sculpted exterior that is defined by strong lines and bold headlamps
- A bold and comfortable cabin with the brand's signature three-cylinder instrument panel
