Spark vs Rio
Vs Kia Rio
EFFICIENCY
The 2020 Chevrolet Spark is surprisingly fuel efficient, getting an EPA estimated 301 MPGs in the city and 382 MPGs on the highway. After all, the average American drives more than 13,000 miles a year - here's to more driving, and less stopping for gas3.
FEATURES
Strong, lightweight, and aesthetically pleasing, alloy wheels come standard on the 2020 Chevrolet Spark2. They're also available as an option on the 2020 Kia Rio, but they'll cost extra.
While they're not as popular in more mild areas, in frigid climates many drivers find heated seats, a standard feature on the 2020 Chevrolet Spark4, quite necessary. If you want heated seats on the 2020 Kia Rio, though, you'll have to pay extra for them.
No more parallel parking jitters - the Rear Parking Aid, standard on the 2020 Chevrolet Spark5, can help guide you into the perfect parking spot, signaling when you're getting too close to the curb, or other cars. Unless you enjoy the parallel parking jitters, in which case, choose the 2020 Kia Rio, and don't pay extra for the rear parking aid option.
Even the most discerning music aficionado is sure to find a channel to enjoy on satellite radio, a standard feature on the 2020 Chevrolet Spark6... but not on the 2020 Kia Rio7.
The 2020 Chevrolet Spark's6 optional sunroof lets the light in on even the gloomiest day. Sadly, the 2020 Kia Rio doesn't come with a sunroof, no matter how nicely you ask for one.

SAFETY
If you're driving a 2020 Chevrolet Spark8, and stray from your lane, no worries: the optional Lane Departure Warning System will give you an audio alert, possibly helping avert an accident. If you're driving a 2020 Kia Rio, this extra layer of safety isn't even an option.
The 2020 Chevrolet Spark2 offers side airbag protection to its rear passengers standard, but that same level of safety isn't even an option on the 2020 Kia Rio.
