What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Kia Rio

2016 Kia Rio Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

2007 4dr Sedan 161-horsepower 2.4L I4

Spacious enough to allow my 84 year old mother to get in and out without injuring herself! see full Kia Optima review

After driving the Optima for five days straight for 10+ hours per day, other than the occasional stop, on a road trip, not one time did I get a sore back or thighs. see full Kia Optima review
