The 2012 Kia Rio 5-door is one of the latest version of 2012 Kia. A 2012 Kia Rio 5-door is a 4-door, 5-passenger wagon, available in 3 trims, ranging from the LX to the SX. The 2012 Kia Rio 5-door is available at price of $13,600 - $17,700 And Invoice Price of $13,335 - $16,880.
Upon introduction, the 2012 Kia Rio 5-door both trims are equipped with a standard 1.6-liter, I4, 138-horsepower engine that achieves 30-mpg in the city and 40-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard on the LX, and a 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional. A 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on the SX.
A unique feature for 2012 Kia Rio 5-door on this engine is the Idle, Stop and Go (ISG) system, which in theory would shut the engine off at traffic lights to conserve fuel. The engine would then fire up as soon as you touch the gas pedal. ISG is an optional feature on the 2012 Kia Rio 5-door, and sadly all the test cars at the launch did not have this system for us to test. Perhaps the system is still being refined. However, the 2012 Kia Rio 5-door is the first sub-compact to offer a stop and go system. The 2012 Kia Rio 5-door takes on a calmer demeanor, and since we were on a twisty mountain road, we quickly got out of the eco-mode and tried to have some fun.
