Is the Kia Rio an SUV?

My niece just got her first car, a Kia Rio. I’ve never heard of this type of car before…is it an SUV?

The Kia Rio isn’t an SUV—it’s a compact car! The Rio is available as a four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback. The 2023 Rio is a solid and affordable car, with a starting price of just $17,645.
Here’s some of what it offers:
  • Generous standard tech
  • Excellent starting price
  • Top-notch fuel economy
That’s not to say the Rio is perfect, though. Here’s where it struggles:
  • Tight rear seat
  • Little cargo space
  • Noisy engine
No matter what type of car you’re driving, you’ll need an air-tight
car insurance
policy to go with it. Don’t have the time? Handle it in just minutes with the
