Practicality doesn’t mean boring. The hero feature of the 2019 Kia Rio5 is its fuel-sipping credentials. Taking you beyond your regular routes, more miles in the tank means weekend plans full of fun day trips, romantic getaways, and unexpected adventures. Powered by a 1.6L four-cylinder engine with front-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission, the 2019 Rio5 delivers an EPA-estimated 32 mpg combined.
Thanks to its easy-access hatchback, the 2019 Rio5 simplifies everyday hauling tasks, from transporting a crated pet to helping a neighbor with their white goods collection. The 17.4 cu-ft cargo space expands to 32.8 cu-ft when the split-fold rear row is down, while the flat load floor makes life easier. A relatively wide loading area, along with that spacious hatchback door opening, brings some welcome ease into the loading and unloading process, making this a convenient choice for trips that require some heft.
Lock in a 2019 Rio5 with the available Technology package and you’ll secure some useful features that boost everyday driving convenience. With Kia eServices (formerly UVO eServices) integrated into the infotainment system, this option offers available driver monitoring — a real plus point for families and sharers — and a parking reminder for setting meter and location reminders, all conveniently accessible from your compatible smartphone.
An intuitive infotainment system is essential if you want to enjoy your school run drop-offs, client appointment schedule, and end-of-day grocery run. The 2019 Rio5 S, its sole trim, has a prominent seven-inch touchscreen display for easy management of audio, apps, and in-car controls. Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Bluetooth® connectivity are standard, offering seamless integration to your compatible smartphone for hands-free calling, navigation, and your crew’s favorite songs or stories.
If your regular commute is longer than you’d like, it's good to know the 2019 Rio5 prioritizes driver comfort and convenience. Features such as the rearview camera monitor and cruise control functionality boost your awareness and physical ease during parking garage maneuvers and long-distance highway drives. The 2019 Rio5’s sliding armrest and height-adjustable driver seating offer you comfort personalization, while the close-reach front-row cup holders and deep-fill door cubbies keep your drinks and snacks within reach too.
