KIA keeps raising the bar and giving its competition a run for their money.

This is the first video and first "vlogger" to show the car underneath - which honestly is technically awesome. No crap talking, just right. And fun.

Canadians do appreciate those heated seats. Wish more automakers would make that standard for us.

Eric Silva I got the gdi model 2013 with manual 2nd hand for around 7k. The things gets up and boogies when you turn off traction control.. Really want interior leather and electric heated seats for winters.. love them in the cerato and would go well in the Rio also.. would love to try the heated steering wheel too. Also the reversing camera makes reversing a breeze and eliminates the guess work.

Great video, however it would be nice to know exactly which model you are reviewing. Does anyone know?

Good review. It's definitely a solid car. The last generation was good too. After test driving an LX and an EX, it was the EX that felt really good for a subcompact. This new Rio is likely to be the top of the class.

I absolute HATE cars with CVT automatic transmission. I want a small Asian-brand hatchback 'CAR' for the fuel efficiency but ability to pop open a hatch, but I want a conventional automatic with GEARS in it, not a CVT. And I want a car that has a manual parking brake lever, not some button. Nearly impossible to find these days. Toyota = the Yaris has a 4 speed, and the Corolla hatch has a CVT. Honda has the Fit with a CVT and parking button. Nissan has the Versa with a CVT. Subaru has the Impreza with a CVT. Only the new Hyundai Accent hatchback, and the Kia Rio hatchback offer what I want, so that's what I will be getting.

Great review. What are the trims for this 2018 Kia Rio?

How does this compare to the sister vehicle, Hyundai Accent ? which is better?

Are all the options the same for the us market??

I’ve had my Kia Rio for almost 2 Months now. My Plates finally came. No problem having a friend put them on the back. But I go to the front since we are required to have both. What the heck? There is absolutely no where to attach the front license plate! Could someone help me if you’ve had this issue or might have an idea? Thank you.

Is all that the standard version ? Like is that what you get when you buy the basic.

Will there be an SX model

Yes, the last time I was buying a car with a manual, I could only buy it on a stripper, and I hate them for it because the driver's seat could not even be upgraded.

I bought mine in sedan standard trim in 2015 because that's the only way you can buy it with 6-speed manual. Never looked back as this is really a blast car to drive...city or highway! The standard trim in LX+ (Canada version) with 6-speed manual, 4-wheel disc brakes, heated seats, 138 hp., etc. & cost much lower back then. I've put up 60K clicks with it no problem and never needed top up oil after each oil changes. What matters most...it's very RELIABLE!

I love my 2017 Kia Rio with a 6 speed manual transmission. I am getting 37 mpg average. I paid $11,300 new. Why would they make the new 2018 Kia Rio heavier, less powerful, and have drum brakes in the rear? Not acceptable.

I just bought a Kia Rio, he arrives at the end of february, but I don't have an armrest.. I haven't really driven with it for a long time but I think it's going to bother me.

Silke Devriendt aftermarket will look after you or go into the Kia dealer and find the centre console part number with the arm rest.. There are part number catalogues online.. you just need to find your model and year.. (usually several models will use the same base in their design so parts will be interchangeable) and the part number and interchange the part. Not too difficult.. even for a novice. Or get it fitted at the dealer for a small cost.

My 3days old Kia Rio 2018 FULLY IMPORTED engine defect, flapping sound (they dont know due to what) and key chain sound (due to using RON95, they said the car is designed for RON97) from the engine or gearbox. Reported the case since 8/1/19 until now, no solution nor how they wanna fix this. Im aware KIA Motors Corp already got my case file. KIA MALAYSIA Careline staff, Puan Labilah told me "currently our principle is busy with system upgrading, your car still can drive rite? If you wanna bring it to consumer affairs, thats your rights." Ok, i will do that, Thanks. So, if ur car still can drive, then u r not priority and ur case will be sitting on shelf somewhere. Manufacturing defect due to QC issue in Korea, not priority. If defects due to wear and tear, next year, I assume. If u wanna buy Kia Rion 2018 6 speed and u wanna pump RON95, buy other cars unless u wanna enjoy key chain sound while driving. IT IS DESIGNED this way! Kia Motors Worldwide Quality Control in seriously in question. A brand new imported car with engine defects, along come with other sounds.

CyndyKated yes, it depends what model you will get. From standard to sports type or top of the line.

Watching this in 2022, Kia has really cheapened the Rio since the 2018 introduction of this generation in the USA. No more leather. No more fog lights. They changed the design of the alloy wheels and they are quite ugly now. Not sporty looking like the wheels in this video. Why, Kia? Why!?

Audi style

They ripped those daytime running lamps right off the current golf/gti and threw it on their rio. Didn't even try to make them look different.

I come from cheapest car to here

This guy needs to stick to writing reviews for someone else to verbally day in a video.

It's void of design character much like Audi and VW so it sort of looks upscale. Not always a plus for an entry car. Mazda and VW have solid cheap offering that come off too upstream and I honestly think it subconsciously plays a part in how budget minded shoppers perceive the car. I think these cars sell better when they look the part of an affordable cutesy/energetic entry car.

@kevinalan1335

That is the common belief but I think it doesn't quite apply for the more entry level of vehicles. I won't be surprised if this continue to lag behind others in its class, but this time more so. Upstream looks frighten potential buyers and in this class most want something more distinct than conservative.

hahah thats literally 175 Kia Rios! I just think they missed a trick by making it slower and heavier. It's a subcompact and whilst the lower end torque is good for making way from a trafficlight, being able to overtake something safely at 50mph is also pretty important. I love the Rio but It's just a bit of a missed opportunity to buzz things up a bit. I guess you'd go for the Forte SX Turbo for that anyway.
