The KIA RIO (2005-09) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 96 3 is a small five-door hatchback in the UK’s budget-friendly supermini class. Its compact size makes town driving and parking manageable, while rear doors and a useful boot offer more everyday practicality than a tiny city car. The 1.4-litre petrol engine and easy-to-live-with character suit commuters, first-time drivers and small households seeking affordable everyday transport. Compared with popular rivals such as the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa, the Rio is a value-minded choice, focused on straightforward usability rather than sporty looks or premium features. mycarcheck.com has recorded seven checks across six distinct VINs, so these figures are a small snapshot, not a broad market average.
