Kia Rio Sedan - Top Speed
The lower valance is also changed for 2016, as it is larger and straighter than on the 2015 model, further enhancing the lower-and-wider look Kia was going for. The backside of the 2016 Rio received a much lighter refresh, as Kia only installed new reflectors that are now closer to the outside of the bumper to help spread the widened look to the rear. The remainder of the changes on the Rio center around the color palette, as Kia added two new hues: Urban Blue and Digital Yellow. Exterior Dimensions Kia spread the changes to the inside too in 2016, one of which was the installation of more high-density foam in the A- and B-pillars to help reduce NVH. I test-drove a Rio during my search for a new car – I settled on the Forte 5 only due to its size – and I found the 2014 Rio pretty darn quiet, so I can only imagine that this change will make it even better. As standard on the LX (base model) trim, the Rio comes with air conditioning, electric power steering, a six-way manual driver’s seat, SiriusXM capabilities, a USB port, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, hill-start assist, and more. The midrange EX adds power windows, cruise with steering wheel-mounted controls, keyless entry, and a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel. Source: www.topspeed.com
