Learn Details About 2017 Kia Rio Sedan & Hatchback

Sep 23, 2016

The Kia Rio is the most compact, economical, and efficient of the non-hybrid vehicles in the current Kia lineup. Now, the brand has introduced the newest versions of both the sedan and 5-Door Rio for the 2017 model year. For 2017 it looks as though there are not any major changes from the 2016 versions aside from a few minor design and product upgrades.

In terms of trim level options the hatchback version will remain the same still offering the LX, EX, and SX trims. However, right now the brand has only reported and LX and EX trim for the sedan version so we will keep you updated on whether or not the SX trim will be returning for the sedan for the 2017 model.

The powertrain in both models carries over from the 2016 Rio with the same 138 horsepower and 123 lb-ft of torque generating engine that is once again paired with a Six-Speed Automatic Transmission. However, the base LX trim will have red and black exterior color options for 2017 that were not available for the previous model year.

We will keep you updated on more updated and changes that can be expected from both versions of the Rio as the details are released so be sure to keep checking back here to learn more. You can still stop by Destination Kia anytime to take a test drive in the 2016 Kia Rio which we have available here at our dealership.
