Design
When you first approach the 2021 Rio in our showroom, you might be surprised at how stylish such a small model can be. With the base LX trim, you’ll be the center of attention thanks to its standard black mesh front grille, body-color door handles, and halogen headlights. Of course, if you’re really hoping to make onlookers envious, then you might want to upgrade to the eye-catching S edition, as this grade ups the ante with LED headlights, chrome door handles, and 15-inch alloy wheels. As an added bonus, this version of the Rio is available with vibrant paint colors like Currant Red, Sporty Blue, and Steel Gray, all of which can help you stand out from the crowd at Cypress Pavilion.
Technology
We still have a lot more to discuss, so let’s change gears and touch on some of the tech elements that have integrated within the cabin of the 2021 Kia Rio. With the standard 8-inch touchscreen1, you can expect to enjoy such features as wireless Apple CarPlay®2 and Android Auto™3, which means you can forget about having to keep a spare cable handy. Incredibly, you have even more to look forward to should you choose to upgrade to the 8-inch display with UVO connectivity4, such as SiriusXM® Satellite Radio5 and additional USB charging ports. Are you the type of person who loves listening to music on the go? If so, then you’ll certainly appreciate the standard 6-speaker sound system with front tweeters that delivers crisp audio quality.
Performance
Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten to mention what lies at the heart of the Kia Rio! Whether you’re heading across state lines or just to the other side of town, the standard 1.6L 4-cylinder engine will get you there in a lively manner with its 120 horsepower and 112 lb.-ft. of torque. Furthermore, to ensure that you can complete your drive to work in an efficient fashion, this powertrain is mated to a gearless Intelligent Variable Transmission, resulting in a fuel economy rating of 33/41 MPG city/hwy6. If all that still isn’t enough to entice you behind the wheel, just wait until you feel the smooth ride provided by the standard gas shock absorbers, coupled-torsion beam rear axle, and stabilizer bars.
You can get your hands on a 2021 Kia Rio for sale in San Antonio, TX, by paying a visit to World Car Kia South and meeting with our friendly staff. After going for a test drive and discussing your payment options, we’ll help you complete a Finance Application and receive the keys.

When my fiance and I are ready to purchase a new vehicle we will definitely be back to see Andre. He made the experience of buying a new car a very easy and enjoyable one.

5 Star Review
“ My husband and I had talked about getting a new car for a while now. We wanted a new car to replace our current car that had definitely seen some better days. We put directions in our GPS and drove to the closest Hyundai dealer, which lead us here. We had the pleasure of meeting Dylan, who went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. We had a couple of bumps in the road of our own accidental making, but he was patient with us. We went through multiple options and every time, Dylan made sure we knew all of the ins and outs about each vehicle. Thanks to Dylan, we are the proud owners of a 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT. Thank you so much for making our first time car buying experience a breeze, Dylan! ”

“ When I was treated unfairly at another dealership I stopped here on my way home and was met by a very nice salesman named Jose. It was close to closing but Jose took the time to hear my story about my experience before arriving here and sat me down to ask how he could help. We set up an appointment for the following day in which Jose got me into a vehicle I wanted and the payments I needed. The process was very easy and prompt. ”
