Compact Kia Cars Comparison



2015 Kia Rio vs 2015 Kia Forte


The car choices in the Kia lineup each have their own personality and suit a different type of drier, but if you look closely, each somewhat resembles the others. Also, there might be shades of gray when you’re trying to determine what size car best accommodates your lifestyle. At Briggs Kia, we would like to help you get to know the difference between the 2015 Kia Rio vs 2015 Kia Forte a little bit better.


To keep things evenly matched, we will be comparing 2015 base models. First of all, you’ll notice that the Kia Rio is slightly smaller and is listed as a subcompact car while the slightly larger Kia Forte is classified as a compact car. Equipped with a slightly smaller engine, the Kia Rio turns out an impressive 27 city/37 hwy mpg while flaunting a low starting rate of $13,900.


The 2015 Rio is a superb car for first-time buyers, or drivers that are looking for an affordable, yet efficient vehicle, especially for commuting long distances. Full of available features, the Rio can be customized how you’d best like without going over budget. Available either as a sedan or hatchback, the Rio has a little more flair than most in its class, and is powered by a 1.6L direct-injection 4-cylinder that delivers 138 horsepower.


2015 kia forte heated seats The slightly larger, compact Kia Forte earns a fairly comparable fuel economy rating of 26 city/ 39 hwy mpg. Available with either a 1.8L 4-cylinder that delivers 148 hp or a 2.0L 4-cylinder capable of 173 hp, the Rio serves well as a daily driver for those who aren’t looking to step up to something midsized. More advanced features also are available, like heated rear seats, push button start, and a new smartphone/vehicle navigation system.


Drivers who often need space to accommodate suitcases or other larger, bulkier items, will have enough space in the 14.9 cu.ft. trunk. The shape of the trunk makes for easier loading and unloading in order to reduce the burden of heavy lifting when you’re on-the-go.


Both the 2015 Kia Rio and Forte are available here at Briggs Kia, and we would like to welcome any drivers who would like learn more about either car.
