2023 Rio Exterior

The Kia Rio won't bowl you over with its exterior styling, but it still looks handsome in a budget-Stinger kind of way, and we certainly like it. The front end is modern and shows off the new Kia logo/grille combination that the entire Kia stable now boasts. There's a set of halogen headlights up front and both the LX and S ride on 15-inch steel wheels with plastic covers. S models get the option of 15-inch alloy wheels and LED headlights. The rear end is a little more generic and plain, but its inoffensive looks will appeal to most buyers.

Exterior Colors

The exterior of the Kia Rio Sedan is anything but shouty, and the color palette complements the humble and respectable looks well. The Rio is offered in your choice of six exterior paint colors, but not all of them are available to both models. The base LX model can be had in Clear White or Silky Silver at no extra cost, while Aurora Black will set you back $195. S trims get more choice, adding Steel Gray, Currant Red, and Sporty Blue as no-cost options.
