The 2007 Kia Rondo was a compact minivan that offered a balance of versatility and affordability. It was the first generation of Kia’s entry into the burgeoning compact minivan segment. The Rondo was known for its spacious interior, which could comfortably accommodate up to seven passengers with its second-row bench seat and optional third-row seating. It also offered a good amount of cargo space, making it practical for families on the go. The Rondo was offered with a choice of two engines, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produced 162 horsepower, and a 2.7-liter V6 engine that generated 185 horsepower. The 2.4-liter engine was paired with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission, while the 2.7-liter V6 came standard with a five-speed automatic transmission.
The 2007 Kia Rondo was equipped with standard features like power windows, power locks, air conditioning, and a CD player. Higher trim levels added amenities such as leather upholstery, a sunroof, and a navigation system. In terms of safety, the Rondo came standard with anti-lock brakes (ABS) and front airbags. As with most vehicles in this era, the Rondo was not rated by the IIHS or the NHTSA for crashworthiness.
Despite its overall appeal, the Rondo faced stiff competition from established rivals like the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. It lacked the refinement and fuel efficiency of some of its competitors. It also did not receive any major awards during its run. Nevertheless, the Rondo was a solid option for buyers looking for a practical and affordable minivan. Its spacious interior, versatility, and value proposition made it a compelling choice in the competitive minivan market.
