’07 Rio Fuel Economy
Kia Rio named to “Top 10 Most Fuel Efficient Cars” by Edmunds.com

Fuel efficiency is a big part in creating every new Kia.  Better sub-compact car gas mileage and increased efficiency are the keys.  As gas prices in Louisville soar and emissions threaten our climate, Kia has created the new Rio with fuel economy in mind.  Better fuel economy equals more Rio miles per gallon, which means you save cash at the fuel pump.  The 2007 Rio gets an EPA estimated 38 mpg on the highway and 29 mpg in the city for the 4-speed automatic model and 35 mpg highway, 32 mpg city for the 5-speed manual.  The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) recently ranked the Rio in the top 12 “Greenest Vehicles of 2007".

Kia Rio Safety: Standard Features
Kia has equipped the Rio and Rio5 with class-leading safety features on every model.  Rio safety means feeling safe and secure comes standard with every new 2007 Rio.

All 2007 Rio models come standard with six airbags including dual front advanced, full-length side curtains, and dual front seat-mounted side airbags.  Airbags are just part of Rio’s advanced supplement restraint system (SRS) that monitors the severity of an impact, the presence of a front passenger and seat-belt use, and then controls airbag inflation accordingly.  The Rio is built with a tough steel body comprised of high-tensile-steel side-impact door beams and reinforced pillars provide added protection in the event of side collision.  Other safety features include front and rear crumple zones, available anti-lock brakes, and 24-hour roadside assistance as part of the Kia Total Protection Warranty.

All of these safety features work together to make the Kia Rio one of the safest sub-compact cars on the road

Peace of mind comes standard with a new Rio thanks to the Kia Total Protection Package.  Kia’s industry-leading warranty package even includes a five-year/60,000-mile 24-hour roadside assistance plan.  You may have also heard of the Kia 100,000 mile warranty – that’s unbeatable protection for your new sub-compact car. 

Other car warranties just don’t compare.  Extended warranties have new meaning with Kia’s Total Protection Package.  No car warranty extends so far or covers so much.  Your new Rio or Rio5 comes backed by the best new car warranty available.  Vehicle warranties include a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, 5-year/60,000-mile limited basic warranty, 5-year /100,000-mile limited anti-perforation warranty, and 5-year/60,000-mile 24-hour roadside assistance.

See for yourself.  Be sure to compare the Kia warranty – the Kia Total Protection Package to the Ford new car warranty, Toyota new car warranty, Toyota car warranty, Honda warranty, Nissan warranty, or any other manufacturer’s warranty.  We’re sure Kia has more of what you want from a new car warranty.

Rio’s Interior
Sub-compact does not have to mean sub-standard comfort or less room.  With Rio’s class-leading interior space feel free to sink, stretch out, and enjoy the ride.  More passenger volume that Chevy Cobalt, Honda Civic, and Toyota Corolla means everyone riding in your new Rio can enjoy generous head and legroom.  But what’s all that room if you can’t get comfortable.  The 8-way adjustable driver’s seat features height adjustability and fold-down armrest.  A tilt steering column also enhances driver comfort.

A surprisingly deep and spacious trunk on the 4-door Rio has plenty of room and with the 60/40 split-folding rear seat on the Rio LX and Rio SX you can simply fold down part of all of the rear seat and take it all with you.  For the ultimate in versatility of storage and seating options the Rio5 SX, with its adaptable hatchback design can’t be beat. 

Plenty of modern features and amenities allow you to customize for your comfort and convenience.  You’ll find the Rio LX and Rio SX, and the Rio5 SX well-equipped with the kind of standard features you want most.  And for those love the sporty look, the SX models include cool features like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, sport-seat fabric, metal pedals, and metal-finished accents throughout the cabin.
