| 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 |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Smallish seats made the front feel kinda cheap. The middle armrest was also a very hard plastic, but the door was slightly softer plastic. see full Mini Hardtop review |

Despite being a hatchback, not a lot of headroom in the back, almost as same as the Mustang. Seats were more upright and headrest should have been integrated into seatbacks; rather, it was mostly a nuisance. see full Mini Hardtop review |

There is no room for anyone other than a child see full Mini Hardtop review |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
I drove a John Cooperworks MINI and I found the front seat to be incredibly flat and unsupportive. It was the complete opposite of the GTI seats, and a big part of why I purchased the GTI instead see full Mini Hardtop review |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch 118-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The roof line is so low that tall people do not fit. When I tested the car my head was touching the roofliner. see full Mini Hardtop review |
