A fresh face has been added to the Kia product lineup with the release of the all-new 2007 Rondo. The Rondo’s exterior features smooth surfaces and clean lines, and can be ordered with optional fender flares, front/rear/side fascia extensions, a lower rear spoiler, an upper rear spoiler, as well as roof rack crossbars. Available in LX and EX trim levels, the Rondo will accommodate 5-passenger, or 7 travelers with optional 3rd-row seating. Under the hood of the front-wheel drive Rondo is either a 162 horsepower, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine or a 2.7-liter V-6 that produces 182 horses.



Standard transmission on the LX is the 4-speed automatic whereas the EX is equipped with a 5-speed automatic, both with Sportmatic shift. Maximum towing capacity is rated at 5,000 lbs, and with rear seatbacks folded flat, the Rondo offers 31.7-cu. ft of cargo volume. Interior refinements include woven seat fabric on the LX, and Double Raschel seat material for the EX models. A leather package is available with heated seats.
