What size wiper blades for Kia Rio?

The typical driver-side wiper blade on a Kia Rio is longer than the passenger-side blade—roughly 24–26 inches on the driver and 16–18 inches on the passenger—though exact lengths vary by year and market. Always verify your specific vehicle’s measurements before buying replacement blades.

Wiper blade sizes for the Kia Rio have varied across generations and regions. This article explains how to determine the correct sizes for your car and what to expect when shopping for replacements.

How to determine the exact size for your Rio

Because sizes shift with model year, trims and regional markets, the most reliable source is your owner's manual or a reputable parts retailer’s fit finder. You can also remove the current blades and measure them or compare against a ruler to confirm length.

Typical length ranges you may encounter

Below are the length ranges that commonly appear on Kia Rio models. Use this as a starting point and then verify for your specific year and market.

• Driver-side blade: commonly 24" to 26" (600–650 mm).


• Passenger-side blade: commonly 16" to 18" (400–450 mm).


• Rear-wiper blade (if your Rio has a rear wiper): typically 11" to 12" (280–300 mm).

Once you have the precise sizes, you can shop with confidence. If in doubt, consult a dealer or use a vehicle-fit tool from an auto parts retailer to ensure compatibility.

Tips for buying and replacement

Consider whether you want conventional frame blades, beam blades, or hybrid blades. Replacing both blades at once on the same axle is recommended for even performance. Check the blade connection type (hook, pin, or bayonet) to ensure the correct installation mechanism for your Rio's wiper arms.

Summary

Summary: Wiper blade sizes for the Kia Rio vary by year and market, but a practical guideline is a 24–26 inch driver-side blade and a 16–18 inch passenger-side blade, with an 11–12 inch rear blade if equipped. Always confirm the exact lengths using your owner's manual or a reliable fit finder before purchasing replacements.
