You aren’t alone if you feel like you and the people around you are busier than ever. Stay in contact with everyone you need to without sacrificing safety in the 2023 Kia Rio. Most trim grades are equipped with wireless access to both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. These suites of software will expand the ways people use their phones while driving.
Many features and functions of the 2023 Kia Rio can be controlled remotely, from the owner’s smartphone. The Kia Connect app will allow owners to view the car’s status, start the engine, set the climate controls and more — all from the automaker’s app.
The available Blind Spot Collision Warning system will give driver’s advanced warning that an obstacle or another vehicle is present in their blind spot. This feature will help cut down on chances of an inadvertent collision.
Events can unfold quickly on the road. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is always on the lookout for surprises that could put people in danger. If something occurs ahead of the 2023 Rio, the technology can automatically activate the brakes if the driver can’t do so quickly enough.
It’s easy for drivers to lose focus after traveling long distances on the highway. Lane Keep Assist will make sure the 2023 Rio stays inside the intended lane of travel. If a driver accidentally drifts one way or another, they will get an alert to take corrective action.
