The Kia Carens, marketed as the Rondo in North America, was a compact MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) produced by the South Korean manufacturer Kia Motors from 2006 to 2013. The second generation, designated as F L, represented a significant evolution from its predecessor, sporting a more refined design and enhanced features. It was built on a platform shared with the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Cerato, offering a spacious and practical interior. The Carens/Rondo II F L was available in various configurations, including 5 and 7-seater options, catering to different family needs. The powertrain options varied depending on the market, including a range of petrol and diesel engines, paired with either 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmissions. While not a sporty vehicle, the Carens/Rondo emphasized comfort and practicality, offering a smooth ride and ample cargo space. Notable features included power steering, air conditioning, CD player, and optional extras like sunroof, leather seats, and keyless entry.
The Kia Carens/Rondo II F L gained a reputation for its value proposition, combining affordable pricing with a decent level of equipment and reliability. It appealed to families and individuals seeking a practical and budget-friendly vehicle with good fuel economy. However, it was not without its drawbacks, such as the lack of advanced safety features common in its contemporaries, and its dated interior design and build quality compared to newer rivals. While the Carens/Rondo II F L was a successful model for Kia, it was discontinued in 2013, paving the way for a new generation with a more modern design and advanced technology. Despite its discontinuation, the Carens/Rondo II F L remains a popular choice in the used car market, particularly for budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable and spacious family vehicle.
