The 2012 Kia Rondo 2.4L was praised for its spacious interior, fuel efficiency, and value proposition. However, some reviewers noted the engine's lack of power, particularly when fully loaded, and a somewhat underwhelming handling experience. The Rondo's design emphasized practicality and family-friendliness, with a focus on maximizing interior space and providing numerous storage compartments. The vehicle's fuel efficiency, averaging around 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway, was another strong selling point. Despite some shortcomings, the 2012 Kia Rondo offered a compelling alternative in the compact minivan segment, providing both practicality and value for money.
