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. see full Kia Rio review |

Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2013 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 138hp 1.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
For a little car, the front seat room is very nice for the average person. see full Chevrolet Sonic review |
