2018 Kia Rio vs. 2018 Nissan Versa
The 2018 Kia Rio has arrived with a nice new design that features improvements like expanded passenger room and a bold exterior with a more confident and powerful line from front to back. One of the Rio's chief competitors in the subcompact class, the 2018 Nissan Versa, is significantly less powerful and lack's the Rio's curb appeal, plus it comes with a higher starting price besides.
The 2018 Kia Rio can be yours for around $11,000 on the lot at Friendly Kia with our available VIP Price, which is a nice savings compared to the competition's price that hovers around $15,000. The 2018 Rio also comes with 130 HP in all of its trims, while the 2018 Versa has a mere 109 HP in all its trims. Driving a subcompact doesn't mean you have to settle for substandard.
