3 Top Features of the 2020 Kia Rio

The 2020 Kia Rio stands out from the pack for a variety of different reasons, not the least of which is that it proves that significant power can come in small packages. There are many different features with the newest model in what is becoming a very long line. A closer look shows there is a little something for everyone, no matter what someone is looking for in their next vehicle.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)

The system works in two parts. The first is that it’s continually monitoring ahead of you to make sure you aren’t about to collide with anyone. If it does sense you getting a bit too close, it will first let you know. If you aren’t responding to due time, the car will gently take over.

The 2020 Rio’s alert system will start applying the brake. Gently at first and then more forcefully if it’s still not sensing you taking over. In the end, it’s all built to make sure you aren’t getting into a costly crash, either out on the highway or smack dab in the middle of the city.

Excellent Fuel Economy

One of the best aspects of the 2020 Rio is that it looks like you’re behind the wheel of a sports car, but it handles and drives like something quite a bit more fuel-efficient. When you are out on the highway, you can get as much as 41 miles per gallon. In the city, you’re still going to get a rather impressive 33 miles per gallon.

All of this efficiency doesn’t take away from the power and speed the Rio offers. A 1.6 Liter, Inline 4-cylinder engine allows you to get off the line in plenty of time.

Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

The 2020 Rio allows for a kind of evolution in Bluetooth connectivity in its dash. Whether you have an Apple iPhone or a Google Android smartphone, you’ll be able to sync up all kinds of services that you can then run through your steering wheel. Yes, you can listen to your favorite music or get directions to that great new restaurant you’ve always wanted to try out.

You can also listen to that audiobook you just can’t stop going back to. You can hear your favorite podcasts from right where you left off, and you’ll be able to sync up your emails and text messages. Then you can listen to those messages through your car’s stereo on the go, without having to take your eyes off the road. The functionality is a significant improvement over previous iterations of the offering.

If these features strike your fancy, you should know there are plenty more on offer in the 2020 version of the Kia Rio. To see them up close and in action, call us at Superior Kia in Orangeburg, SC and schedule a test-drive today.
