The Kia Rondo takes up little space yet it seats up to seven adults.It's shorter than the six-passenger Mazda5, but it offers more third-row legroom than a Toyota RAV4.We found the ride, handling and brakes of the Kia Rondo excellent.It's a good vehicle for running around town or for taking the whole family on a long trip.
A four-cylinder engine comes standard with an EPA-rated City/Highway 20/27 miles per gallon.We found it to be strong, offering good acceleration performance for passing on two-lane roads, and it's smooth and quiet when cruising down the highway.This 2.4-liter four-cylinder comes mated to a four-speed automatic transmission with a manual mode.
A smooth 2.7-liter V6 with a five-speed automatic is optional.It's rated 18/26 mpg and delivers more thrust more smoothly and adds just $1,000 to the retail price, making it a bargain.
