What is the 2018 Kia Rio's safety rating?

The 2018 Kia Rio delivers solid safety performance, earning a four-star Euro NCAP rating. It scored 84% for adult occupant protection and 85% for child occupant protection, though its pedestrian protection (52%) and safety assist systems (25%) were less impressive. Standard safety features include six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and anti-lock brakes (ABS), while higher trims may add a rearview camera and tire pressure monitoring. For safety-conscious buyers, the Rio provides dependable overall protection despite some average scores. Keep in mind that safety ratings are just one factor—real-world safety also depends on driving habits and road conditions. We recommend a test drive to evaluate the car’s features firsthand, along with regular maintenance to keep safety systems in top shape.
