Read the Honest John Review

  • Kia Rio (2011 - 2017)
    Much more stylish than previous Rio. Upmarket interior. 1.1-litre chain cam diesel emits just 85g/km of CO2. Three-door from £9,995.
  • Kia Rio (2005 - 2011)
    Roomy, well equipped and keen value. Diesel is easy on the fuel. Four-star crash test rating.
