The Kia Rondo, introduced in 2006 for the 2007 model year, was a compact MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) that offered a unique blend of versatility and affordability. It was positioned as a competitor to other popular models like the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna, but with a smaller footprint and a more budget-friendly price tag. The Rondo was built on a platform shared with the Kia Cerato (known as the Spectra in some markets), featuring a unibody construction with front-wheel drive. The first generation Rondo was available in both 5 and 7-passenger configurations, with the latter featuring a third row of seats that were more suitable for children or occasional adult use. Power was provided by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. While not known for its performance, the Rondo's engine provided adequate power for daily driving and highway cruising. Interior space was a highlight, offering comfortable seating and ample cargo space. The Rondo also featured a user-friendly dashboard layout, making it easy for drivers to access various controls and settings.
Despite its practicality and affordability, the Kia Rondo was not a runaway success. It struggled to gain traction against its more established rivals, and sales figures remained relatively modest throughout its lifespan. The Rondo, however, did gain a reputation for being reliable and affordable to maintain, appealing to budget-minded buyers who were looking for a versatile vehicle without the hefty price tag of some of its competitors. The first generation Rondo was discontinued in 2010, with Kia eventually moving away from the MPV segment altogether. However, the Rondo remains a popular choice for those seeking a comfortable and practical vehicle on a budget, particularly in the used car market. The 2007 Kia Rondo Workshop Repair Service Manual provides essential information for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts, offering detailed instructions for repair and maintenance procedures. This manual is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to keep their Rondo in tip-top shape.
