Yahoo Autos 2023 Kia Rio pricing stays under $20,000, one of America's three most affordable cars
When we wrote about new cars on sale for under $20,000, the assemblage counted the trio of Mitsubishi Mirage, Nissan Versa, and Kia Rio. The Rio could be considered the best of the lot, too, coming in two body styles, both with good handing and gas mileage, the demerits being leisurely acceleration and a touch of stiffness in the ride. Kia has now announced prices for the 2023 Rio, raising the MSRP and destination charge by a smidge, but keeping the four-door sedan and the hatchback well under $20K. MSRPs have gone up $300, while the destination charge has risen $60, from $995 to $1,055.
The new sums for the 2023 Kia, including that destination fee, are:
LX Sedan: $17,505
S Sedan: $18,145
S Hatchback: $18,445
The new newness is an oil level sensor that alerts drivers when the engine needs more of that black gold. This sounds like a feature arising from engines that ground to a halt because drivers didn't realize the oil level was low.
