Like its 4-door sibling, the Kia Rio5 (5-door) LX subcompact hatchback sports a new bolder profile for 2012, yet retains its superb value, notably through one of the best warranties in the business. Stretched out, lengthwise and width-wise, for 2012, this entry-level trim boasts a bit more legroom and some 49.8 cubic feet of total cargo area, along with a direct-injected 4-cylinder powerplant and a pair of brand spankin’ new transmissions.
Standard appearance features remain a set of 15-inch steel wheels, a rear spoiler and heated power-adjustable mirrors, while inside, look for cloth upholstery, front bucket seats and a rear-seat center folding armrest. Also adorning the cabin are tilt-wheel steering, air conditioning and a trip computer, with entertainment provided by an MP3-capable single-CD player with 4 speakers, satellite radio and a USB connection.
Options in this entry-level 5-door include carpeted floor mats and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror with integrated universal remote garage door opener.
A newly reworked 1.6-liter direct-injected (DI) inline 4-cylinder (I4) powerplant combines with the new-for-2012 6-speed manual transmission for 138 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque, all adding up to about 15% more vim and vigor over last year’s trim. Mileage, meantime, is estimated at 29 mpg city/37 highway.
Additionally, the base Rio5 LX can be delivered with an available (and also brand-new) 6-speed shiftable automatic transmission that’ll deliver mileage in the vicinity of 28/36.
Finally, notable standard safety features aboard the 2012 Rio5 LX remain 4-wheel antilock brakes, traction and stability control, front and rear head airbags and front side-mounted airbags.

Those needing a new-look, value-laden subcompact hatchback would be wise to look over the 2012 Kia Rio5 (for 5-door) EX. This midlevel trim boasts added (by a few inches) room for five, 49.8 cubic feet of total cargo area and a 4-cylinder powerplant lately bolstered by direct injection (DI) technology and a new automatic transmission. Yet, despite its new look and feel, this little hatchback still totes a boatload of value, mainly by carrying over one of the best warranties in the business.
Carrying a rear spoiler, 15-inch steel wheels and heated power-adjustable rear-view mirrors outside, the midlevel Rio5 EX adds to these: premium cloth upholstery, front bucket seats, a rear center armrest and leather and simulated alloy accents to steering wheel and cabin trim. Also look for remote power door locks, power windows, cruise control, telescoping tilt-wheel steering and, of course, air conditioning. Bluetooth hands-free calling also comes standard in this midlevel 5-door hatchback, as does an MP3-capable single-CD player with 6 speakers, satellite radio and a USB port.
A noteworthy option for the 2012 Rio5 EX is the Convenience Package with upgraded 15-inch alloy wheels, power-folding exterior mirrors, UVO infotainment system, rear-view camera and soft-touch dashboard material. Standalone options, meantime, include carpeted floor mats and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror with integrated universal remote.
Powering the 2012 Rio5 EX is a reworked 1.6-liter inline 4-cylinder (I4) engine that now boasts direct injection (DI) and mates with a new-for-2012 6-speed shiftable automatic transmission for 138 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque. This 15-odd-percent boost in overall performance is accompanied by mileage estimated at 28 mpg city/36 highway. Additionally, the Rio5 EX is eligible for the available hybrid-inspired ECO Package with ISG (Idle, Stop and Go), whereby the engine automatically shuts down at a stop and restarts when the gas pedal is pushed to accelerate.
Lastly, the 2012 Rio5 EX boasts such noteworthy standard safety features as 4-wheel antilock brakes (ABS), traction and stability control, front and rear head airbags and front side-mounted airbags. This little hatchback also sports standard turn-signal-integrated mirrors, while front fog/driving lights remain optional.

Tweaked with a longer, wider, more modern profile, added power and a new automatic transmission, the 2012 Kia Rio5 SX might be just what the value-conscious family needs. This 5-door (hence the “5” tacked onto its moniker), 5-passenger subcompact hatchback remains the flagship of the Rio5 fleet and now sports some added cabin room, as well as 49.8 cubic feet of total cargo space. Meantime, one of the best warranty packages on the market still adds some extra peace of mind. All in all, this little beauty is finally worthy of the 21st Century.
Anyhow, look for Kia’s reworked Rio5 SX to boast 17-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler and heated power-adjustable mirrors outside, while premium cloth upholstery, front bucket seats, a rear-seat center folding armrest, and leather and simulated alloy trim decorate the telescoping and tilting steering wheel (with standard paddle shifters), as well as accenting the marginally upgraded cabin. Bolstering all this are remote power door locks, power windows, a trip computer, cruise control, a rear-view camera and a much-touted UVO infotainment system with Bluetooth music streaming.
Further standard techno-goodies, meantime, include Bluetooth hands-free calling and an MP3-capable single-CD player with 6 speakers, satellite radio and a USB port.
With new direct-injection (DI) technology, the 1.6-liter inline 4-cylinder (I4) powerplant boosts power by about 15% to 138 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque. All this is, of course, made possible through the efforts of the brand new 6-speed shiftable automatic transmission, which also contributes its bit to mileage estimates of 28 mpg city/36 highway.
Standard noteworthy safety features in the 2012 Rio5 SX remain 4-wheel antilock brakes (ABS), traction and stability control, front and rear head airbags, front side-mounted airbags and turn-signal-integrated mirrors. Also standard are front fog/driving lights and, new for this year, LED daytime running lights.
