2017 Kia Rio Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year Body/Powertrain Comment
2016
4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
I did manage to get four people in the car but it was tight and the two in the back seat were not big adults (under 5'8"). We had to adjust the front passenger seat up a bit to make more room for the person behind.
