While the rest of the world is busy fighting over the last oversized parking spot, this 2022 Kia Rio 5-door LX+ is proving that "small and smart" is the ultimate urban flex. As one of the last true subcompact hatchbacks available, it offers a level of agility and fuel-sipping efficiency that makes it a legitimate hero in heavy city traffic or on a tight budget. It’s a refreshingly straightforward car that prioritizes low operating costs without making you feel like you’re stuck in a "base model" penalty box.
