Kia Rondo

The Kia Rondo, a compact MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) produced from 2006 to 2010, represented Kia's attempt to compete in the increasingly popular minivan segment. Offering a versatile interior with three rows of seating, the Rondo aimed to provide both passenger and cargo space in a more compact and fuel-efficient package than traditional minivans. Its sliding rear doors and flexible seating arrangements made it a practical choice for families, while its more car-like handling compared to some bulkier minivans appealed to drivers who prioritized maneuverability. While not as commercially successful as some of Kia's other models, the Rondo showcased Kia's ambition to explore different vehicle segments and offered a compelling alternative for buyers seeking a blend of practicality and space efficiency.
