2012 KIA RIO SEDAN - ROUNDING OUT - Sedan completes the Kia Rio lineup

摘要

THERE'S A REASON the new Rio five-door hit dealerships a few months before the sedan: It should account for 70 percent of Rio sales if Kia's historical hatchback/sedan sales split holds true for the B-segment range. For the 30 percent who prefer sedans, your Rio is here. What's new for the hatchback remains true for its four-door counterpart. Power comes from a direct-injection, 1.6-liter four-cylinder making 138 hp, which is standard with a six-speed manual transmission on the base LX trim level. Midrange EX and range-topping SX versions are only available with a six-speed automatic. With either gearbox, the powertrain receives an EPA rating of 30 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway.
