It has a 110-hp 1.6-liter four-cylinder, a standard five-speed manual and an optional four-speed automatic on every trim except the base sedan.

2008 Kia Rio prices by trim
Kelley Blue Book lists these original U.S. MSRPs and Fair Purchase Price estimates on its page accessed for this article. The Fair Purchase Price figures are changing estimates: KBB says they are updated weekly and reflect typical dealer purchases. Values for an individual car vary with mileage, condition, location and other factors.
| Configuration | Original MSRP | KBB Fair Purchase Price estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Rio Sedan 4D | $11,515 | $2,400 |
| LX Sedan 4D | $13,865 | $2,600 |
| Rio5 LX Hatchback 4D | $13,965 | $2,900 |
| SX Sedan 4D | $14,865 | $3,175 |
| Rio5 SX Hatchback 4D | $15,965 | $3,375 |
These KBB used-price estimates are a snapshot of the page accessed for this article, not a current quote or a promised sale price. Published historical starting prices also differ across sources: Cars.com lists $10,890 for a manual sedan, while CarGurus shows a different MSRP range. KBB’s trim table provides consistent figures across the configurations, but the sources do not establish one uncontested historical MSRP.
Engine, transmission and fuel economy
Every 2008 U.S. Rio uses a 1.6-liter inline-four rated at 110 hp at 6,000 rpm and 107 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm. Power goes to the front wheels. A five-speed manual is standard; a four-speed automatic was optional on all versions except the base sedan.
