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.

Awesome SUV, Wagon, Minivan??? - 2007 Kia Rondo
By Patrick Jaquin - April 21 - 1:33 pmAwesome power off the line for a 4 banger. Quite smooth ride. Just got out of a Saturn ION, so Im spoiled by gas mileage but at 53 yrs old Im tired of falling into and dragging myself up and out of a compact car. The Rondo is a perfect in and out. Im sure the mileage will get better as I only have less than 700 miles on it so far. Im a semi retired rock musician so if I need the space for my gear I have it. My wife drives an 07 Sportage and is less than satisfied with the mileage, but she wanted an SUV so I told her not to expect great mileage. She had an 03 Optima but decided she wanted an SUV. All in all Im in love with my Rondo and this is our third new KIA. Very reliable vehicles.

Go buy it, well worth it $$$ - 2007 Kia Rondo
By Oscar - April 16 - 5:40 pmI bought this car for my wife, but I must say I love it just as much. I drive it to work for 50 miles on the highway and it is very quite and handles quite well. I have not noticed any blind spots and everything is at your finger tips. Night time driving is also very good as the Driving lights and Fog lights are very bright. Also braking and acceleration are just as good and it comes with great Michelin tires. Interior Lighting is also good and lots of interior connectors for those portable CD players - 1 front, 1 mid, and 1 in the rear as well.

Great Family Car - 2007 Kia Rondo
By OneQwikPony - February 28 - 5:30 pmWanted a new truck but the gas mileage was not as good as the Kias. Plus I have a lot more room with all the bells and whistles.

Solid vehicle, good value - 2007 Kia Rondo
By flipb - December 21 - 5:50 pmKia hit the nail on the head by creating a vehicle thats got the footprint of a compact but can handle 7 passengers, or 5 and a bunch of stuff. I chose the Rondo over a fwd RAV4, and saved about $5K. Very well put-together and drives well, but feels somewhat like an appliance. Not a lot of soul in the driving experience. But performs better than average where it counts: space, safety, economy, value, features.

Lots of prep and room... - 2007 Kia Rondo
By tararnyny - November 24 - 11:16 amWe purchased the Rondo in May after looking at the Hyundai Sante Fe, Mazda5 and the Honda Element. We are looking for a safe and reliable vehicle without breaking the bank. Even with two kids and a dog I just couldnt do a full size minivan. No one can believe the interior room or the quiet comfortable ride of this car. The back seat has significantly more leg and head room than our Subaru Outback. Also, with the V6, it is much faster than the Subaru too. The third row seat is tight but its fine for the extra kid or two you end up with after soccer games. With the back seats down youre left with tons of cargo space.

Kia Rondo - 2007 Kia Rondo
By Anne - September 16 - 8:23 amI 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.

We (heart) our Rondo - 2007 Kia Rondo
By momgray - August 12 - 12:26 pmAfter looking around for over a year (we knew our old car wasnt going to last much longer), we decided to get a Rondo. We had gone to the Chicago Auto Show two years running to see a variety of cars, check out the new models, etc. and all of us loved the Rondo we saw this year best of all (missed it last year). When our old car went into its last gasps we went to test drive it - smooth and great to drive. At the time we bought our Rondo the 08s werent on the lot, but with the deal we got we are quite happy with our 07. My SO, who has a thing against minivans and SUVs (conspicuous consumption) likes our wagon solution; the kids love the room; and I like being able to haul a few friends.

This car is hot!! - 2007 Kia Rondo
By Pat Lippy - August 9 - 1:46 pmI fell in love with this car the first I saw it - so cute - but the big thing was the functionality. It is all things to all people - peppy - nice comfortable seats - great ergonomics. Havent filled up with gas so not sure about the gas mileage but that wasnt a deciding factor. Just wanted to upgrade my wife out of the Dodge (just went off warranty) to something she liked that had loads of warranty and was a great buy!

Very good Car! - 2007 Kia Rondo
By Ed - July 25 - 11:53 pmI bought this car used and it is a very good car! I have the V6 and it has a lot of get and go. The engine just purrs. The only minor complaint might be that the seats do stain a little but as long as you are not a slob, they are fine. The car is just the right size, not too big like a mini van and not too small. Plenty of room! I recommend this car to anyone with a small family.

Rondo For All Seasons - 2007 Kia Rondo
By Mr_Orting - July 19 - 7:33 amThis is really a good car. Very good gas mileage on the I4 (27 mph) mixed driving. Fit and finish is excellent and beats Detroit models costing more. Holds the road like glue. Very responsive for a 4. Driver protection program beats the industry. Visibility is outstanding.
