The KIA RIO (2011-15) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.1 CRDI ECODYNAMICS DPF SS 74 EU5 2 6SPD is a small, three-door diesel hatchback, aimed at buyers wanting affordable everyday transport rather than a large family car. In the UK, the Rio sits among practical superminis, competing with models such as the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Hyundai i20. Mycarcheck.com records 86 look-ups covering 50 different VINs, offering a useful snapshot of the model. The checks show an average private-sale valuation of £2,600 and average recorded mileage of 96,000 miles. Cars averaged around 7,000 miles a year and just under three previous keepers, suggesting a well-used, accessible used-car choice. The economical 1.1-litre diesel is suited to commuting and journeys, while its compact size helps in town; the three-door layout is less convenient for rear passengers. It is an option for solo drivers, couples or first-time buyers seeking a frugal alternative to petrol superminis.
