Kia Rio Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2015–2017) — Third Generation Restyling
The Third Generation Restyling Kia Rio comes as a Hatchback 5-door and a Sedan. You get a compact, front-wheel-drive city car in either body, aimed at everyday commuting rather than performance.
This Kia Rio engine lineup pairs a 1.4 unit and manual transmission with a 1.6 gasoline automatic. Hatchback 5-door examples include gasoline and diesel 1.4 MT versions plus a 1.6 AT, all with a front-wheel-drive drivetrain. The manuals feel more involving; the automatic is simpler day to day.

Kia Rio trim levels sit on a chosen technical version rather than replacing it. On the 1.6 AT Hatchback 5-door, Comfort Audio and Luxe are equipment packs for the same gasoline automatic. They change cabin features and convenience kit, so you pick fittings, not a different drivetrain.
