Interior

 

Despite the seemingly small outlook of the 2023 Kia Rio 5-Door Hatchback, the interior is quite roomy. With the rear seats up you are offered 17.4 cubic feet of space in the hatch area. With the rear seats folded down you’ll have 32.8 cubic feet available. The low floor of the bed makes loading and unloading an effortless experience. The interior storage consists of front and rear door pockets with bottle holders, a center armrest and storage bin, dual front cup holders, and average size glove department. There is lots of hard plastic on the inside of the car but it is textured nicely with an attractive fit. The Rio standard comes with an 8.0-inch touchscreen that offers the latest wireless smartphone mirroring options for both Apple and Android phones. An upgraded infotainment system is optional on the S trim. The upgraded version has Kia’s UVO telematics system and a SiriusXM satellite radio. The legroom for the front seats and back row averages around 36 inches. There is a 6 speaker sound system that is equipped in every Kia Rio 5-Door.

Safety Rating

 

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety regularly crash tests cars to find how protected the passengers would be in the event of an accident. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety grades are based on two scales. The first is poor, marginal, acceptable, and good. The second is basic, advanced, and superior. The 2023 Kia Rio 5-Door received a “Good” in the following categories:

 

•   Small overlap front: driver side

•   Moderate overlap front: original test

•   Side: original test

•   Roof strength

•   Head restraints and seats

 

An “Acceptable” was given for the Small overlap front: passenger side. The Kia Rio was redesigned for the release of the 2018 model. The driver-side small overlap frontal ratings apply to both the sedan and the hatchback versions of the Rio models since 2018.

 
 
 

 

Safety Features

 

As always Kia has come through with an amazing set of standard safety features for their car. The Rio 5-Door has:

 

•    Forward collision warning system:   The Forward Collision Warning system anticipates the potential for colliding with the vehicle in front, providing the driver with audio and visual warnings if the car in front slows down suddenly, helping to avoid a head-on collision.

•   Lane keep assist:   Lane Keeping Assist will automatically assist the driver's steering when lane departure is detected to help prevent the vehicle from moving out of its lane.

•   Automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection:   This system will automatically stop the car if a crash seems imminent. The car is also able to detect people and apply brakes for pedestrians, not only other vehicles.

•    Cruise control:  Cruise control is a feature that comes in handy when you drive at a constant speed. It is an electric system that allows you to set your car to a specific speed, letting you take your foot off the accelerator pedal. So, it can ease foot-fatigue and stress over a long drive.

•   Rear camera display:  When the car is put into reverse, the driver can see their surroundings behind the car

•   Kia connect 911 connect:  With Kia Connect 911 connect will automatically attempt to call 911 if your airbags deploy or for non emergencies, it can connect you with 24/7 roadside assistance.

•   Tire pressure monitoring

•   6 airbags

•   High beam assist:   High Beam Assist is a function that automatically adjusts the headlamp range (switches between high beam and low beam) depending on the brightness of detected vehicles and certain road conditions.

•   Driver attention warning:   If the car senses the driver becoming tired or inattentive, a warning will go off that suggests the driver takes a break.

 
 

 

Kia Connect

 

For fans of Kia Connect, the Rio 5-Door has this feature too! Kia Connect gives drivers access to their car from their phones. If they have an Apple Watch, starting the car via watch is an available feature that’s extra fun. When you pair your smartwatch to your mobile device with the Kia Access app, you can send remote commands to your car as well. If you forgot where you parked, your phone will locate the car and give you directions. This saves you the time of walking around the city and wandering around the parking lot. If you are still getting ready to leave the house or packing up from work, you have the option to heat or cool your car so it is the perfect temperature when you enter it. If you happen to leave a child or pet in the car, sensors detect movement after the car is locked. You will be alerted on your phone that there is movement in your car. And for those people who often lock their keys in their car or can never find where they placed them, Kia Connect allows you to lock and unlock your car from your smartphone.
