There are two versions available for the 2012 Rio: you can either pick up the small-sized 4-door sedan or 5-door hatchback style. For those who opt for the 4-door sedan style, there are three trim versions to choose from – SX, LX, and the entry level version. If you want the hatchback style, then you will only be given one choice, which is the SX version.
There are some slight changes to the dimension of the Kia Rio 2012 that is distinctive from the previous models, which is 55 mm longer, 25 mm wider, but is lower by 15 mm. The wheelbase is also longer with the 2012 Kia Rio, which is now at 2,570 mm as compared to the previous one. The new cargo capacity for this model is estimated at 292 liters while carbon emission of 85 g/km is a major improvement from before to make it more eco-friendly vehicle to drive.
The new design integrated into the 2012 Kia Rio model provides a new interpretation of the signature grille from Kia. There are newly integrated headlamps that provide a fresh new look to the car, while it noticeably exemplifies a strong wedge along with a dynamic stance into the body-glass ratio.
There are several important features available for Kia Rio 2012, which is quite comprehensive even if you opt for the entry level version. These features include adjustable driver seat, 14-inch tires, and tachometer. The LX model is equipped with additional features though such as power steering, tilting steering wheel, air conditioning, CD player, and split rear seat. As for the SX model, you can get 15 inch tires, metal pedals, rear spoiler, fog lights, and leather-wrapped steering wheel.
In terms of engine performance and power, the 2012 Kia Rio offers four-wheel drive powertrain that is combined with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, which is capable of delivering up to 10 horsepower. This is integrated with a five-speed manual transmission for a more powerful driving capability. However, Kia has always been persistent in its quest of offering highly efficient vehicles such that the 2012 Rio does not compromise fuel mileague just to enjoy maximum performance. This engine type is capable of reaching 35 mpg on the highway, or 32 mpg on the city. However, switching to the automatic transmission will slightly vary that gas mileage into 38 and 29 mpg for highways and city streets, respectively.
The 2012 Kia Rio is no doubt going to be a great new addition into the choices for those looking to buy a small-sized sedan. The fact that Kia has been known to be an affordable brand, it also means that you can get the above mentioned functionalities without having to shell out more than you can afford.
