Compact Hatchback · what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.
The 2007 Kia Rio is a compact hatchback we track across the used market in Canada. It comes in gas (7.8 L/100 km) and hybrid (6.6 L/100 km) forms, so the main choice is fuel — the hybrid earns its premium back over enough kilometres. A 22-year-old one keeps roughly 5% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.
