Overview & Reviews

Although it's been on sale in other parts of the world under a different name, the 2007 Kia Rondo is all new for the U.S. Its proportions are more like a small minivan, but Kia is calling the all-new 2007 Rondo a sporty crossover vehicle.

• Many features for an affordable price, choice of four- or six-cylinder engine, optional seven-passenger seating, long warranty coverage.

• Cramped third-row seat, adequate but not compelling performance.

  Poor gas mileage. - 2007 Kia Rondo
  By Rhonda G. - April 7 - 6:50 am

  I bought this car because my husband really liked it. I have to admit it I think it is a real cute vehicle. The only complaint I really have is I get extremely poor gas mileage. I have the LX four cylinder and get only about 12-15 mpg in the city and about 20-22 mpg on the highway. With the gas prices today I am going to have to sell it.

  Just keeps running without problems - 2007 Kia Rondo
  By Harry - April 4 - 4:00 am

  We bought this for the stated mileage. Our 1999 Suburban averages 11-12 mpg. The Rondo was supposed to get 29 mpg. Weve never come close. We use it primarily for getting around town (avg = 20 mpg) and an occasional trip (avg = 24 mpg). For a 4 cylinder automatic and Id hope for higher gas mileage because its such a LITTLE car compared to our Suburban. Were in our sixties and drive conservatively. Thats our only disappointment. No squeaks or rattles in 11,000 miles. We change the oil regularly. It is a VERY dependable car. Cant compare the ride with a Suburban (even ours with 200K miles). Trip distances over 100 miles are uncomfortable.

  bumpy, bumpy, bumpy - 2007 Kia Rondo
  By Bearoness - October 16 - 5:46 am

  I enjoy driving the Rondo but you feel every bump in the road and that is uncomfortable. The gas mileage is okay but I had hoped it would be better (dont we all?)

  Kia Rondo - 2007 Kia Rondo
  By Anne - September 16 - 8:23 am

  I purchased a black Kia Rondo with beige fabric interior. From the first week of ownership had problems with water stains on the seat. The dealership detailed the interior several times to clean the stains which led to additional stains, each time trying new protectants which they stated should take care of the problem. According to the service manager Kia could replace the seats with the same fabric, at the time we decided to try the new fabric protector. One year later my interior looks like we have poured liquid all over, every stain shows, many from water. I am very frustrated, would not recommend fabric interior. I know if I try to sell my car this will lower the value.

  Unbelievable - 2007 Kia Rondo
  By Ms. Johns - July 28 - 10:00 am

  This car was all good until I reached 62,000 miles. The fuel pump has gone out and the manufacturer wont admit that it is a defect. The fuel pump has been recalled in the 08 and 09 models. I had a couple in the 3rd row and thy complained about the comfort. They could feel every bump in the road. I would not recommend Kia to anyone!
