THE 2013 KIA RIO SX M/T: STICK SHIFT LUXURY

Piloting a new Kia vehicle around the Burlington and Plattsburgh area can be a relaxing and comfortable experience. It can also be a heart-racing, wheel-gripping thrill which is why Kia wants to combine the two ideas into the 2013 Kia Rio SX mated with a six-speed manual transmission.

Driving enthusiasts have clamored for some time now for a Rio with stick-shifting abilities. What makes the Kia Rio manual special? The fact that it is not placed at the bottom of the available trim levels. Indeed, the Rio SX trim comes equipped with many standard desirable features including:

Class leading 138-hp 4-cylinder engine with 30-mpg city / 40-mpg highway
Backup camera technology
LED taillights and LED accents in the headlights
17-inch alloys
7-inch nav touch screen with SiriusXM Traffic
Push to start with Smart Key
Regarding the addition of the Kia Rio SX M/T, “Our customers and the automotive press have been asking for the Rio 5-door SX with a manual transmission, and we’ve listened. We’ll continue to evaluate consumer demand and consider bringing other high-spec manuals to market,” 1 says Orth Hedrick, Kia Motors America Director of Product Planning.

A company that works with the desires of its customers? Pleasure doing business with you, Kia.
