The 2013 Kia Rio 5-Door vs. the 2013 Chevrolet Sonic

 With its inspired design, zippy performance, and a spacious interior, the 2013 Kia Rio 5-Door is a versatile, efficient, and affordable subcompact hatchback. Here at McGrath Kia, a top Kia dealer near Cedar Rapids, we've seen firsthand how this dynamic little 5-door outshines its competitors. Offering a level of comfort and superb handling other subcompacts are hard-pressed to match, the Rio 5-Door is among the leading vehicles in its class. Let's take a look at how it compares to the 2013 Chevrolet Sonic.

Economical, Efficient, and Fun to Drive

Roomy and stylish, powerful and efficient, the 2013 Kia Rio 5-Door is an economical and wildly affordable alternative to the 2013 Chevy Sonic.

With a surprisingly spacious interior for a subcompact, the new Kia hatchback provides comfortable seating for 5, along with more passenger volume (88.4 cubic feet) and more cargo capacity (40 cubic feet) than the Chevrolet.

The Kia also offers a host of standard and available convenience features, including cruise control, steering wheel-mounted controls, 60/40 split-folding rear seats, and satellite radio. The optional rearview camera, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and leather-wrapped steering wheel, are all features that are not available with the Sonic.

The Rio 5-door comes with a basic warranty of 60 months/60,000 miles, it's clearly better coverage than the Sonic's 36-month/36,000-mile coverage.

The bottom line is the sticker price, and there again the Rio wins with an MSRP of $16,700, compared to the $17,525 that Chevrolet is asking for the Sonic.
