The 2007 Kia Rio, part of the model's second generation, is an economical compact sedan or hatchback. It comes with a single engine option, a 1.6-liter inline-four delivering 110 horsepower, and is paired with a standard 5-speed manual or optional 4-speed automatic transmission. It's available in two trims, base and LX, with a sporty Rio5 SX hatchback variant, offering basic but sufficient comforts such as six-speaker stereo, air conditioning, and power features on higher trims. Despite its budget-friendly nature, the car benefits from six standard airbags and full-length side curtain-type airbags. However, stability control, a major safety factor, is not available.
