Overview
THERE are many people downsizing from large people-movers or SUVs who want a car that delivers all-important fuel economy and city-driving flexibility while maintaining the ability to cart seven occupants around. Kia's new Rondo answers the call for a mid-size four-cylinder family-friendly seven-seater that won’t break the bank and has loads of safety features to boot. The smart, euro-styled Rondo proves that a people-mover does not necessarily have to look like a bread box to serve its duties, too.
