Used 2021 Kia Rio Sedan Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2021 Kia Rio can be equipped as a four-door sedan or a hatchback, which Kia calls the 5-Door. The sedan is available in two trim levels: the base LX and the S. The 5-Door is only sold in S trim. All Rios are powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (120 horsepower, 112 lb-ft of torque) mated to a continuously variable transmission. All Rios are front-wheel-drive.
Which Rio trim does Edmunds recommend?
Our pick is the loaded S trim due to its relative low cost and impressive value. We would also add the S Technology package for its comprehensive set of driver safety aids.
