The small but powerful 2012 Rio is getting ready to arrive at West Herr Subaru Kia, a leading Kia dealer serving Buffalo.

With three trims available, the new 2012 Kia Rio is equipped with an available 1.6-liter Gasoline Direct Inject (GDI) four-cylinder engine. Kia drivers will have the choice of a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. The availability of the GDI is significant—the 2012 Rio is one of just two vehicles in its segment to offer the powerful but efficient engine,which delivers 138 horsepower.

New to the 2012 Rio—and the entire 2012 Kia lineup—is the availability of ISG technology, which enables the engine to turn off when the vehicle is not in motion. Once the driver releases the brake pedal, the engine automatically restarts. The result? Significantly decreased fuel consumption.

This and the GDI engine lead to impressive numbers for the Rio. The 2012 Rio achieves 30 city and 40 highway miles per gallon. Not only are these impressive figures, this Kia dealer serving Buffalo is proud to announce that they are class-leading numbers!

The 2012 Kia Rio includes features that drivers might not expect to find standard on a sub-compact car. Standard features include power windows, Bluetooth®, steering wheel-mounted controls, voice activated controls, leatherette door trim and more.
