8 – Kia Río Sedan
The Kia Río Sedán is one of those cars that attracts attention in the Mexican market, mainly due to its safety advantages. First, we have to highlight its solid construction. The car is equipped with a series of active safety features, such as stability control and an anti-lock braking system (ABS), which go a long way in avoiding accidents. Furthermore, for those moments when a collision is inevitable, the car offers efficient airbags and a reinforced structure to protect passengers.
But, as not everything is rosy, the Kia Río Sedán has its limitations. The main downside is that despite its good basic safety systems, it falls a little behind in terms of more advanced driver assistance technologies like lane departure warning or blind spot assist, which are becoming common in other models in the same price range.

Speaking of price, the Kia Río Sedán is considered affordable for many consumers in Mexico. The average price is around 300,000 to 350,000 Mexican pesos, varying slightly depending on the version and extras chosen. This price, along with the safety features it offers, makes it a very attractive option for those looking for an economical car, but who still want to maintain an acceptable level of safety.
7 – Renault Kwid
The Renault Kwid, popular in the Mexican market, has several advantages in terms of safety, but it also has its disadvantages. Among its strong points, its front and side airbag technology stands out, which offers extra protection in the event of collisions. Furthermore, its reinforced structure and ABS braking system with EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution) provide greater control and safety while driving, especially in adverse road conditions.

However, the Kwid's most notable drawback is its performance in safety tests. In some evaluations, such as those carried out by Latin NCAP, the Kwid did not reach the maximum scores, revealing that, despite the technologies implemented, there is still room for improvement, especially in terms of protection for side impacts and pedestrians.
Regarding price, the Renault Kwid is positioned as an affordable option in the Mexican market. The average price of the car is around, but not limited to, 150,000 to 200,000 Mexican pesos, varying depending on the version and additional features. This value for money makes it a popular choice, especially for those looking for a compact, economical car for everyday use.
