2020 Kia Rio LX, $16,815
Kia's most-popular vehicle worldwide, the Rio sedan is no speed demon. There's enough power to give the car a punchy feel if asked to play, but the standard CVT transmission hesitates before offering up power. But there's some real value here, including a standard seven-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, auxiliary/USB ports and heated side mirrors. That said, the base model lacks power locks, mirrors, or windows. A five-door Rio hatchback is also available, starting at $17,755 in pricier S trim.
