The Rondo has many key features. The third row is handy for those times when it’s needed, and folds flat for when it’s not. The interior is versatile and comfortable, boasting fit and finish on par with anything in the class. Both engine choices are good, and the V6 adds a welcome dose of refinement. Finally, the Rondo has an excellent stuff-per-dollar ratio. A two-row Rondo LX with air conditioning costs $17,895. The EX we tested – with a V6, three rows, leather seats and the upgraded audio package – stickered just under $23,500 including the $600 destination charge. It’s hard to find that much stuff for the price from other manufacturers, especially when you throw in Kia’s outstanding 10-year/100,000 mile warranty.
