Kia Rio Hatchback boot space, practicality and safety

2001 - 2005 (change model)
Practicality rating: 4 out of 54.0

Written by Parkers Published: 6 June 2019 Updated: 6 June 2019

No passenger airbag, no Euro NCAP rating. Will almost certainly come off worst in any crash (unless you hit another one).

Big boot for this amount of money (did we mention it was cheap), plenty of cubby holes for nick knacks. Glovebox is an average size.
