The Kia Rio 1.2 83bhp 2 5sp ISG is a solid contender in the compact hatchback market, offering a compelling balance of practicality, economy, and value for money. Powered by a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 83bhp, it’s not a performance powerhouse, but it delivers adequate pace for city and suburban driving. The 5-speed manual gearbox is smooth and easy to operate, making it ideal for new drivers or those looking for a fuss-free commute. Fuel economy is a highlight thanks to Kia’s ISG (Idle Stop & Go) system, which helps keep running costs low. Expect realistic mpg figures in the high 40s to low 50s under mixed driving conditions, depending on driving style and conditions. Inside, the Rio "2" trim offers more than just the basics. It includes an 8-inch touchscreen with smartphone connectivity (Apple CarPlay/Android Auto), a reversing camera, cruise control, and air conditioning — giving it a surprisingly upmarket feel for a budget hatch. Build quality is commendable, with sturdy materials that feel durable, though hard plastics dominate the cabin. Space-wise, the Rio impresses with good rear legroom and a decently sized 325-litre boot — one of the largest in its class. The driving position is comfortable, visibility is good, and light steering makes for effortless manoeuvring in tight spaces. While it lacks the punch and refinement of turbocharged rivals, the Rio’s reliability, generous standard kit, and Kia’s 7-year warranty make it a smart choice for cost-conscious buyers seeking dependable everyday transport. Pros: Great warranty, low running costs, practical interior, decent tech. Cons: Modest performance, basic interior feel, only 5 gears. Overall, the Kia Rio 1.2 ISG "2" is a sensible and well-rounded hatchback that offers excellent value and peace of mind for everyday driving needs.
