According to Kia Motors America's President and CEO, Peter Butterfield, when describing the redesigned 2006 Kia Rio: "The only thing we didn't change was the name." Wider, taller, and longer, the new Rio provides more of what Kia believes subcompact car shoppers desire: room. Thanks in part to its longer wheelbase, passenger space now registers 92.2 cubic feet, and trunk volume has increased to 11.9 cubic feet. Safety also continues to be a priority for the company, so the five-passenger 2006 Kia Rio is equipped with front-, side-, and side-curtain airbags; and three-point seatbelts for all passengers. Peace of mind is addressed by Kia's popular five-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and its 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, with five years of roadside assistance thrown in, too.
