The Kia Rondo, also known as the Kia Carens in some markets, was a compact MPV produced by the South Korean automaker Kia Motors from 2006 to 2013. The first generation Rondo (released in 2007 for the 2008 model year) was built on the same platform as the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte, offering a spacious and versatile interior suitable for families and those requiring extra cargo space. It featured a distinctive design with a high roofline and a sloping rear window, reminiscent of a minivan. The Rondo was available with a choice of two engines: a 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol engine producing 140 hp or a 2.0-liter diesel engine generating 140 hp. A five-speed manual transmission and a four-speed automatic transmission were offered, with the choice varying depending on the market and engine option.
The Rondo aimed to provide a sensible and practical alternative to traditional minivans, offering a comfortable ride, ample passenger space, and a decent amount of cargo capacity. It was equipped with a wide array of standard features, including power windows and locks, air conditioning, and a CD player. Optionally, features like cruise control, keyless entry, and a sunroof were also available. Despite its practicality, the Rondo wasn't as popular as some of its competitors, struggling to gain traction in a fiercely competitive segment. However, it still offered a reliable and affordable option for those seeking a compact MPV. The 2007, 2008, and 2009 model years saw few major changes, primarily focusing on minor updates to the interior and exterior styling, along with some improvements to the engine and transmission options.
