What is the cheapest Kia?
I have a short 10-minute commute and need a cheap car that’ll get me to and from work every day. My friend recommended a Kia, but I can’t really tell one car brand from another. What’s Kia’s most affordable car?

The cheapest Kia is the
Kia Rio
—a great little commuter car, starting at just $16,250. In fact, it’s one of the most affordable cars on the market right now, as more car brands retire their subcompact vehicles.The Rio isn’t very fast, but the 120-horsepower, 1.6-liter inline engine is more than enough to handle a short commute. An automatic transmission and front-wheel drive come standard.
The interior is pretty basic, but it has necessities like easy-to-read instrument gauges, intuitive climate and audio controls, and an 8-inch touchscreen that’s compatible with both Apple and Android phones.
Safety features include an alarm and engine immobilizer, and you have the option of adding driver-assistance tech like forward-collision warning, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking for an additional cost.
Don’t expect much storage space in the Rio, but the trunk has plenty of room for your groceries or a couple of overnight bags.
