The 2016 Kia Rio is a fun subcompact that keeps your wallet heavy with fuel savings and eats turns for breakfast with its superb handling and lightweight construction.  It’s also very affordable, with a suggested price that is among the lowest in its class.  But how does it compare with the competition in its class, the 2016 Ford Fiesta, 2016 Hyundai Accent, 2016 Nissan Versa and 2016 Toyota Yaris?  If you’d like to see which has the best performance and fuel-efficiency, we’ve done the hard work for you.  So please sit back and enjoy our subcompact comparisons!

The Rio vs. Competition: Toyota, Ford, Hyundai and Nissan 

We’ll look at the fuel economy and base trim level horsepower for these five models.  As you’ll see below, the fuel-efficiency is pretty similar among these five, but the Rio has far superior power figures, which will make lane changes and merging onto the highway much easier than with the comparatively punch-less Toyota Yaris, for example.  And the 2016 Rio comes at a lower asking price than just about all of these cars.

Note: The fuel economy is for the base trim level with an automatic transmission.
