And if that's not enough, the supply-chain crisis has driven up the price of new and used vehicles and driven down inventories. In short, access to a car is complicated these days. Fortunately, there are still a few attainable options. Like this Kia Rio for example, a sub-compact car that has been around for 20 years now. A cousin of the now-defunct Hyundai Accent, the Rio is one of the few options on the market that won’t cost buyers on a budget their shirt, an arm and maybe even a leg.
From the side, the Rio is fairly conventional, perhaps even a little too much so with those 15-inch wheels. Frankly, the manufacturer could easily increase the size of the wheels by an inch, if only to boost styling and handling. But then again, the Rio isn't exactly a performance car, so it doesn’t really “need” bigger shoes than it has.
Overall, the Rio is nowhere near as flashy as the Korean automaker’s latest creations - the EV6 is a striking example - but we’re thinking budget-car buyers relieved to find something they can afford won’t mind that one bit.To state the obvious, a subcompact may not be the best car for a family of four, especially for extended trips with lots of luggage. But with a cargo box on the roof, the Rio can do the job.
