UPDATE: Almost two years and it's still exactly what I wanted/needed. Mileage has settled in at about 44 mpg combined. Have had it on road trips to Montréal, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, and New Orleans. Not a single problem thus far. Have had my 22 Rio Hatchback (with tech package) for 2 months now with one decent road trip under its belt. I have no delusions of grandeur here- hey it's an economy car. But I've been extremely satisfied thus far. On a road trip to Montréal and back- all freeway mind you- I averaged 47 mpg while driving about 5 mph above the speed limit and just some luggage and me in the car. Comfort is fine, acceleration much better than I expected. Sound system is better than that of the Kia Sportage I traded in for the Rio. The one thing I want to stress to anyone considering buying this little car- GET THE TECH PACKAGE. Car would be FAR too bare bones without it. I have it- for US$1800 it includes disc brakes all around, LED headlights, alloy wheels, keyless ignition, nicer trim, Sirius XM radio, automated temp control system, and a BUNCH of safety features including such things as lane keep assist, driver attention warning, lane follow assist, and forward collision warning. The only negatives- it sits VERY low- not the car for you if you're someone who likes to flop down in a seat rather than ease into your vehicle. Also you have to be aware of things such as pulling too close to parking blocks- and you're not going to see much of what's ahead other than the car or truck in front of you. I also would liked to have had a telescoping steering wheel but that's not available. Overall I am completely satisfied thus far.

2022 kia Rio Pro's Looks for an economy car Fuel economy 36-38 city & 40-42.5 highway cheap maintenance 6 speaker audio system, nice for what it is spare tire & jack Con's Nothing... Kia is doing the people a public service by making an affordable car that achieves phenomenal mpg yet is chuckable around corners. Overall, As of now sitting at 3,108 miles I am very pleased with my Rio especially the hatch (more stable) and the gas mileage. The CVT (IVT) performs exceptionally well and wouldn't tell it apart from a traditional torque converted automatic. Lastly, I would change the transmission fluid & filter every 30k miles (helps cvt from over heating) Then change the oil every 3-4k miles with a Kia genuine oil filter and either Total Quarts or any 0W-20 grade oil that meats OEM spec. Best of luck future Rio owners!

Handles great, feels like a peppy little car even though HP only 120. I can see over the dash, important for a petite person.
Great commuter car
