2016 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
