While this may not sound impressive today, it provided enough pep for city driving and highway cruising. The Rio's compact size allowed for easy maneuverability, making it a perfect choice for urban dwellers. Its reasonably spacious interior offered comfortable seating for four passengers. While it might not have been luxurious, the Rio's interior provided a functional and practical space for everyday use.
