Kia Rio Towing Capacity & Weight

Gary White   Author: Gary White


The Kia Rio is a great choice of tow car for someone who is looking for a small size vehicle capeable of towing 850kg to 1000kg depending on the model. It's not just us that says its a good towing car, the Kia Rio 1.4 CRDi '3' 3dr won the best Ultralight Tow Car Up to 1424kg class in the Tow Car awards.

Can a Kia Rio tow a caravan?
The Kia Rio is one of the smaller vehicles in the Kia range. It's got a much lower towing capacity than the Sportage and Sorrentos meaning it is more suitable to pulling light tourers and trailer tents than a traditional caravan or horse trailers. Out of all the cars in the small tow car category you can't go too far wrong with the Rio. In the 'What Car?' road test that they carried out as part of the review, the judge was very impressed. They tested the 1.4 diesel model and said that "Everything was very controlled – simple, effective and undramatic" which is a nice summary of this car. It's not fancy, its not a head turner but it does its job well.

As an added perk, dont forget that like all models of Kia the Kia Rio comes with a whopping seven-year warranty.

If you are looking for the towing capacity for a Kia Rio car then we're here to help. The towing capacity is a term used to describe the maximum weight of a trailer a Kia Rio car can tow.
