| 2019 | 175 | 19.4% |
| 2018 | 154 | 18.2% |
The highest-volume years usually draw the most attention because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right price and condition. They also tend to be the easiest years to shop when you want a balance of availability and value.
What is the Kia Rio's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | $9,170 | −12.76% |
| 2016 | $7,130 | −8.21% |
| 2020 | $11,152 | −7.68% |
| 2017 | $7,117 | −6.93% |
| 2022 | $13,652 | −6.56% |
| 2021 | $12,772 | −4.86% |
| 2018 | $8,893 | −4.56% |
| 2023 | $15,857 | −1.53% |
Most model years in this set have moved lower year over year, which can create better entry points for used shoppers. The biggest drops are concentrated in older and mid-cycle years, while the smallest changes are clustered near the newest examples. That pattern gives you several price tiers to compare if you're trying to maximize value.
The 2023, 2018, and 2021 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
Should I buy a used Kia Rio now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2022 model is at −6.56% versus a year ago, and the 2021 model is at −4.86%.
- Deal availability: The 2022 model has 23.8% good and great deals, and the 2021 model has 23.7%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2022 model has the most listings at a current average price of $13,652.
If you're buying used today, the 2022 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the newest version, it may be worth waiting for 2024 inventory to mature.

Reviewed a 2010 Kia Rio on Nov 25, 2024
The car looked good inside but the paint on the outside was terrible and it had a dent on one side that was not visible in the photos shown. The value is also not acceptable for the condition it is in.

Overview
Once the cheapest car in America, the Kia Rio is a subcompact sedan and hatchback designed for budget drivers. Its small size makes good use of its 4-cylinder engine, and though base models are minimally equipped, higher trims and the sporty hatch come standard with enough features to make you forget this is an economy car. The Rio emerged in 2001 as a sedan and Rio Cinco hatchback. Based on the Kia-built Ford Aspire, the Rio was smaller than Kia's inaugural U.S. compact, the Sephia. The first Rio featured a 1.5-liter, 96-hp DOHC I4 engine with a choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. The engine got a little bigger and more powerful over the first few years, but the Rio essentially stayed the same. The front-wheel drive subcompact came in one trim. The hatch featured standard power steering, front console, rear defrost, and tilt steering wheel, which were only options in the bare-bones sedan. Front airbags were standard, and side airbags were never available. A slight upgrade to the front end, suspension, dashboard, and introduction of cupholders and standard power windows occurred in 2003, but it wasn't until 2006 that the Kia Rio got a whole new look. The second generation, based more on the Hyundai Accent, carried a 110-hp 1.6-liter I4 engine. The overall size and interior space was bigger and more airbags were added. The hatchback was renamed the Rio5 (or rather translated, since Rio Cinco means Rio 5), and the sedan came in both a base and LX trim. Once again, the base had no air conditioning or power features, which you could find on the LX. In 2007, the sedan gets a sporty SX trim that carries many of the same features as the Rio5 SX. Though it's purely no frills, the Rio's price tag makes it an attractive option for drivers on a budget. Good fuel economy and a decent engine (for the Rio's light weight) make it fun to drive and overshadow the strained acceleration and cramped backseat. There is supposedly a Rio hybrid in the works, but no date has been set yet for its release.
