  • One of the best subcompact models

    While looking for performance-oriented subcompact cars, the Kia Rio-4-door stood out to me. I tested many other cars before finalizing it, but none...

From The Experts

Things we like

Zippy powertrain: The Kona is equipped with a 2.0-litre engine mated to a 6-speed AT. The result is a powertrain that zips across the road with quick acceleration.

Great design: The car comes with an eye-catching design. The Kona is stylishly built and looks great from all angles.

Great mileage: Hyundai cars are known for their fuel efficiency. The Kona returns a mileage of around 20 kmpl which is great by all standards.

Ride comfort: With a well-balanced suspension setup and minimal body roll, the Kona offers excellent ride comfort. The understeer is negligible.

When it comes to premium hatchbacks, there are very few options available in the market, which offer the stance and levels of a premium feel-good factor as the Kia Rio does. The hatchback is fairly large and the dimensions along with the low slung stance give the Kia Rio a smart and authoritative road presence.

It’s not only the exteriors of the Kia Rio which make it a premium looking car, but the hatchback is also pretty impressive when you step in its cabin as well. The overall cabin layout not only feels wide and well-built, but also the presence of many premium bits like a touch screen infotainment system, keyless entry with push-button start and automatic climate control makes it feel like a car from one segment above.

While the large dimensions give the Kia Rio a good presence, they also play a major role in making the interior cabin vastly spacious as well. The Rio offers an impressive amount of legroom and knee room, which are comparable to an entry-level sedan positioned one price bracket above it.

Things we don't like

Plain interior: The interior of the Hyundai Kona looks rather plain compared to the striking exterior. The dashboard is far from exciting

Less legroom: Being a hatchback, the legroom on the back seat is a premium. Like most cars in its class, the Kona is suitable for four occupants, not five.

Smaller boot: The Kona accommodates lesser luggage compared to its rivals. The boot space of the Kona is just 19.2cft

Too much plastic: The Kona’s cabin has an abundance of hard plastic. While this may be acceptable for the price, it reduces the quality of the cabin.

The Kia Rio’s 1.4-litre engine is fairly decent when it comes to performance on tarmac, but the fuel efficiency in both manual, as well as automatic variants, are not too excellent to write about.

The Kia Rio feels upmarket and modern in each and every aspect, however, the instrument console design feels too plain and unattractive, which makes up for a boring looking driver’s cockpit.
