2009 Kia Rio in Baytown, Texas
Visit Community Kia Soon to Experience the Fuel Economy and Safety of a New Kia Rio
The 2009 Kia Rio will save you money at the dealership and at the pump with a fuel economy range of 25-27/city and 32-35/highway. It also has sensible and convenient interior and exterior elements that make driving easy. All but the base sedan have split-folding rear seatbacks and the Rio seats 5. Consumerguide auto said that, "it's a surprisingly well-built low-price car with a strong warranty [and] it also delivers a lot for the money, notably standard front side airbags and curtain side airbags." It also has a great suspension package for better road leverage that includes independent front suspension with coil springs, a stabilizer bar and a torsion beam independent rear axle. The tough engine is a 110 hp 1.6-liter DOHC 16-valve CVVT four-cylinder.
Nice interior features that give the Rio a touch of comfort and amusement include an AM/FM/CD/MP3/SIRIUS audio System with four speakers, a Tachometer, a center console, dual cupholders, tinted glass, a day/night interior rearview mirror, dual sun visors with vanity mirrors, a dome lamp with delay out, dual front 12V power outlets, a cargo area lamp, an eight-way driver's seat height adjuster, and a driver's seat fold-down armrest.
As usual, Kia wants their passengers to feel safe and secure. They have included a long list of advanced safety elements on the Rio that will protect you and your passengers. You'll get a troop of air bags that include dual front advanced airbags, dual front seat-mounted side airbags, and full-length side curtain airbags. The extra secure seatbelts include front and rear 3-point seat belts, front seat-belt pretensioners with force limiters, height-adjustable front seat-belt anchors, Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH), and a seat-belt warning lamp. Other important safety features include side-impact door beams, 5-mph bumpers, front and rear crumple zones, an impact-absorbing steering column, rear child-safety door locks, and an internal emergency trunk release.
On top of feeling safe and comfortable, you'll also feel cool because of the nice-to-look-at exterior which includes body-color bumpers, body-color exterior door handles, body-side moldings, clear-lens headlights, auto-off headlights, dual remote body-color mirrors, variable intermittent windshield wipers, a rear window defroster, and a roof-mounted mini-pole antenna.
