The interior of the Kia Rio takes a minimalist approach. The cabin is simple and sophisticated with a user-friendly dash and controls. The center console is handy, and so are the storage pockets at each door. The materials used aren't luxurious, but they hold up very well.

The seats in the front are supportive, and there's plenty of room. The rear seats offer ample legroom, and the ride is even better thanks to the comfy bench seat that's well-formed.

Space

There's even more available with the 60/40 split-folding seats in the back. There are 17.4 cubic feet of space in the back of the hatchback, 32.8 cubic feet with the rear seats down.
