The Kia Carens Rondo, known simply as the Kia Carens in some markets, is a compact MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) that was produced by the South Korean manufacturer Kia Motors from 2006 to 2013. The 2010 model year, the subject of this service manual, marked the second generation of the Carens, representing a significant departure from its predecessor in terms of design, platform, and engine options. The 2010 Carens Rondo sported a more modern and rounded aesthetic, adopting Kia's "Tiger Nose" grille design that became a defining characteristic of the brand's vehicles at the time. The MPV offered a spacious cabin with three rows of seating, capable of accommodating up to seven passengers. In terms of practicality, the Carens provided generous cargo space, further enhanced by a folding third row, allowing for flexible configuration depending on passenger and luggage needs.
Under the hood, the 2010 Kia Carens Rondo offered a choice of petrol and diesel engines, catering to diverse driving preferences and fuel efficiency demands. The petrol range included a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine and a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, both paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The diesel option, a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, was known for its balance of power and fuel economy. This engine was initially offered with a 6-speed manual transmission, but a 6-speed automatic was later introduced. The 2010 Carens Rondo was lauded for its comfortable ride, spacious interior, and versatile configuration. However, its fuel efficiency, particularly in the petrol variants, was often criticized. The Carens Rondo faced stiff competition in the compact MPV segment, primarily from European manufacturers like Renault and Opel, all of whom offered similar vehicles with comparable features and functionalities. Nevertheless, the Carens Rondo built a reputation for reliability and affordability, solidifying its position as a compelling option for families and individuals seeking practicality and spaciousness without breaking the bank.
