Review and specifications
2007 Kia Rondo
The smallest and least expensive seven-passenger vehicle on the market for its time, the Kia Rondo is smaller than a minivan, but taller and not as long a typical wagon. Still, the Kia offers impressive room for its compact size. With seating for up to seven, it nearly attains the utility of a minivan within the exterior dimensions of a small car. Fit and finish are very good and access is easy. The ride is comfortable and quiet, but handling is not particularly agile. We also found the seats uncomfortable, suspension noise annoying and the third-row seat too tight for children. All-wheel drive is not available. The Rondo was discontinued after 2010.

Brand context
About Kia
<p>For almost any modern vehicle category, there’s a Kia that’s worth considering buying. Among competitive small and midsized sedans, Kia sells the K4 and K5. For small and midsized SUVs, models like the Sportage and Sorento are competitive with nice interiors, good ride comfort, and appropriately powerful engines. Fuel economy across the brand is generally good, but hybrid and plug-in hybrid options are available for even more miles per gallon. Plug-in hybrid options have a useful all-electric driving range. Kia EVs are generally competent, but buyers need to be attentive to reliability. Many new and used Kias earn our recommendation.</p><p><br/></p>
