New KIA RIO Review:

The Rio is a big improvement over its predecessor: it was never a great car but this model has moved it up a notch. The family hatchback is reliable with reasonable interior space, although the interior is let down by its cheap plastic feel. The Rio is one of the larger cars in the supermini class - that’s mostly down to the headroom for both front and rear passengers, whilst the boot size is good and split fold rear seats on all models allow one to juggle passengers and luggage space. Safety levels are good with front airbags and ISOFIX fittings for child seats in the rear, which have earned the Rio a four-star rating from the Euro NCAP crash testers. There’s a choice of two engines: a 96bhp 1.4 litre petrol and a 109bhp 1.5 diesel; the diesel is the preferred choice as it pulls strongly from as little as 1700rpm and offers plenty of punch for overtaking. The Rio's trump card is its value, which makes the opposition look over-priced by virtue of its decent equipment, competitive insurance premiums and respectable re-sale values.

How do we get our New KIA RIO deals?

Cheap new KIA RIO cars for sale through AutoeBid

Reasons for being much cheaper than your local dealer:

We don't charge KIA RIO suppliers a fee to sell through our service. Meaning they incur no direct costs in selling a vehicle through AutoeBid. As such, the standard costs of advertising, marketing and administrating the sale are taken out of the equation.
All KIA RIO orders are live on our website so that suppliers can compete between one another to win your business by giving you the best quote. Their fierce competition for your business forces their price down, giving you the ultimate advantage of getting your price at your rates.
Suppliers are also able to sell vehicles nationally through AutoeBid, which potentially allows them to sell large numbers of cars through our website. As a mark of their appreciation, they are able to provide for much larger discounts if they are able to sell large volumes of vehicles.
Similarly through our Group Buying Scheme, we group together buyers in order to maximise our buying power.
Our extensive supply base allows us to approach the most competitive suppliers in the market on behalf of our buyers. We spend a lot of our time researching new suppliers and confirming their trading record and their ability to deliver.
