    Kia Rio 2019 FAQs

    Kia Rio 2019: Is it economical to run premium petrol?

    The Kia Rio only requires 91RON unleaded. The engine is tuned for that octane rating, so you won’t gain anything, apart from more space in your wallet, by switching to 95 or 98RON fuel. Despite every premium petrol marketing campaign suggesting otherwise, running on more expensive fuel won’t gain you any performance or greater fuel economy, so stick with 91.  

    Kia Rio 2019: Problems with sports shift

    You’re possibly trying to downshift at a speed that’s higher than it was designed to do. Try downshifting at a lower engine speed.

    What hatchback should I buy?

    Most small hatchbacks have similar width footwells, so I would suggest you try the most popular ones, Toyota Corolla, Hyundai i30, Kia Rio etc. to find the one that’s best for you.

    Kia Rio 2019 Interior

    The Kia Rio may well represent motoring on a budget, but its interior isn't a drab affair. As these images show, its plain dashboard is punctuated by a floating touchscreen multimedia system, while the centre stack below is simple but effective. Predictably, hard plastic trim abounds, while the leather found in certain variants looks and feels artificial.

    Available across the range is the same easy-to-use and well-laid out 7.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system.
