  • 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

Great suspension: The Hyundai Reina is mounted on a McPherson strut in front and a couple torsion beam axle at the back. This makes Reina’s suspension setup one of the best in class

Spacious: The Reina has a 2,570mm wheelbase. This makes the car’s cabin very spacious. There’s ample headroom and legroom on the rear seat.

Huge trunk: The Reina comes with a massive 415-litre trunk space. There’s no worry about excess luggage.

Looks pretty: This is one of the better-looking cars in the entry-level sedan segment. The front fascia looks poised and sporty.

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

Not for five: Despite the huge cabin space, the Hyundai Reina isn’t exactly a 5-seater. The knee room and legroom could be tight for five passengers.

Stiff ride quality: While Reina’s suspension is much appreciated, at times it may feel a bit hard. This is because of Reina’s sporty handling.

Delayed transmission: The car’s transmission is a bit delayed. It takes a second or two to produce power. It often ‘sleeps’ from the first gear.  

No touchscreen: The Reina comes with a 2-DIN infotainment unit. But even the entry-level models of most of its rivals come with a touchscreen.

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.
