Reviews SummaryWith the debut of its 4th-generation platform, the Kia Rio adds size and weight for a more stable presence on the road, concurrently firming up its suspension to toss a little sportiness into the mix. With quality construction, an impressive warranty, and a starting MSRP of just $13,900, it’s no wonder the Rio is Kia’s best-selling vehicle internationally. | |
Reviews SummaryThe point of a hatchback is to maximize cargo space while minimizing exterior dimensions. As such, the 2023 Corolla Hatchback is 10.5 inches shorter than a Corolla Sedan, but it has 4.7 cubic feet more cargo space in its trunk. In addition, you can fold the back seats to expand the hatchback’s cargo area and accommodate larger, bulkier items that won’t fit in the sedan. But is the 2023 Toyota Corolla Hatchback more stylish than its counterpart? That’s up to you to decide. | |
