The Kia Rio Third generation (2011–2017) is 404.6 cm long, 172 cm wide and 145.5 cm tall, with a 257 cm wheelbase. That makes it about 21 cm longer than the average 3-door hatchback in our guide (384 cm across 63 versions). In size it is closest to the Alfa Romeo MiTo (2008, 1.7 cm longer), the SEAT Ibiza 3-door hatchback (2008, 1.5 cm shorter) and the FIAT Punto 3-door hatchback (2004, 1.6 cm shorter).

Will it fit my garage?

Assumes a UK standard parking bay of 4.8 × 2.4 m and a typical UK single garage of 4.8 × 2.4 m inside (2.1 m high) with a 7 ft × 6 ft 6 in (213 × 198 cm) up-and-over door. Where we have no width-with-mirrors figure we add 20 cm to the body width. “Comfortably” leaves about 60 cm to walk round and open a door; “tight” means it goes in but getting out is awkward. Garages and bays vary a lot — measure yours and use the garage fit checker. For guidance only.
