Your Price: Ask Us

If you’re looking for a sporty hatchback with a low sticker price and high fuel-efficiency, look no further than the 2012 Kia Rio5.

Like its sedan sibling, the 2012 Kia Rio5 receives redesigns to the interior and exterior giving it a fresh new look for 2012. Under the hood is a 138-horsepower, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that can be paired to either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.

Not only does the Rio5 feature direct injection, but an optional auto-stop feature in the Eco Package shuts the off when the Rio5 comes to a stop, and then restarts the engine once the brake pedal is released - kind of like how a hybrid works. Because of this, the Rio5 gets an impressive 30-mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. If you’re concerned about pollution, feel relieved that the 2012 Rio5 emits a paltry 5.5-5.7 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.

The 2012 Kia Rio5 is available in three trims: LX, EX, and SX and competes with the Ford Fiesta, Honda Fit, and Toyota Yaris in the sub-compact hatchback class. Kia gave the exterior of the Rio5 a chrome-ringed grille and wraparound headlights, giving the Rio5 an appearance vaguely similar to the Kia Optima up front. Choose between 15-, 16-, and 17-inch wheels and enjoy the following standard features: body-colored door handles, black mesh grille, power heated mirrors, and a rear spoiler. A sport-tuned suspension, power folding mirrors with integrated turn signals, a power sunroof, fog lights, dual exhaust tips, and wheel locks are optional.

Inside the 2012 Kia Rio5, you’ll find a revised cockpit with more style and a fluid dash with intuitive controls. Premium knit cloth seat trim, leather seat trim, heated front seats, a 60/40-split folding rear seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel, soft-touch dash, Bluetooth® connectivity, push button start, navigation system with SiriusXM Traffic, and auto-on/off headlights are just some of the optional features. A USB port and auxiliary input jack are standard, while Kia’s Uvo communication and entertainment system powered by Microsoft incorporates a backup camera and is also optional.

Dual front airbags, dual front seat-mounted side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, four-wheel anti-lock brakes, electronic brake-force distribution, vehicle stability management, and an electronic stability system are all standard safety equipment.

Save money at the point of purchase and at the pump with the efficient and redesigned 2012 Kia Rio5.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
