The 2007 Kia Rio5 is unique in that is crosses a van with an automobile, offering compactness in construction and yet, inside, a sense of spaciousness that allow for easy breathing and moveability. This 4-door, 5-passenger wagon only has one trim, SX, and is ideal for medium-sized families.
This make, although innovative in structure and appearance, has a stanhdard 1.6-liter, 14, 110-horsepowered (6000 rpm) engine that reaches a suburban mileage capacity (mpg) of 32 while extending up to 35 for expressways. Any range over 30 means that distance is the key over the lack of speed capability. A five-speed manual/four-speed automatic transmission spells easy adjustment when necessary.
Maneuvering the vehicle under controlled yet flexible means suggests that stability is easily maintained by driver. The front power 257-mm x 23-mm vented discs and rear power 203-mm drum brakes (generally, four-wheel anti-lock brakes) from toppling or flipping over in hazzardous weather conditions. Traction can overcome many kindss of terrain, from smooth tar to pockmarked dirt roads.
Because of this, airbags are situated forward, to the sides and above driver, passenger and those seated in the back. Front and rear central and outboard 3-point seatbelts allow for firm security for all occupants. With the implementation of these combined efforts, safety and protection are ensured during travel and involvement in accidents.
A standard AM/FM radio and CD player consitute a basic entertainment system for sound comfort emenating from four speakers. In this case, bringing one’s one handheld music player is really unnecessary.
The 2008 Kia Rio5 runs about $37,000.00, with an Estimated Market Price (EMP) of $13,482.00, which is very affordable. There is no secret as to why this make had been carried over from 2006: It’s simple, travel-oriented, family-friendly and inexpensive—four things buyers look for in a wagon.
