The Kia Rio was a subcompact Kia vehicle known for its affordability, fuel-efficiency, and practicality. While the Kia Rio is no longer being manufactured, the automaker still makes plenty of other new Kia models with similar attributes. These are some of the alternatives our dealers at Folsom Lake Kia recommend for drivers seeking a vehicle similar to the Kia Rio.
Kia Forte: A Step Up in Style and Cabin Space
The 2025 Kia Forte is a compact sedan that offers a step up from the Kia Rio in terms of size and premium features. You’ll discover a premium, eye-catching exterior, spacious interior, comfortable ride, and long list of advanced technology and safety features. It also shares the same focus on fuel-efficiency and practicality as the Kia Rio had, with an efficient and powerful turbocharged engine.
Kia Soul: Unique Style and Versatility
Another model that shares the focus on practicality and commuter-friendly efficiency is the Kia Soul. This unique hatchback offers a sporty design with plenty of personality, a surprising amount of cargo space, and even amenities like an available Harmon Kardon® Premium Audio System and an available 10.25-inch touchscreen display.
