Kia Rondo
Despite being smaller than a traditional minivan, the Rondo offers enough space to satisfy the needs of most families. Under the hood is a 2.4-litre four-cylinder or a 2.7-litre V6, both of which are paired factory-standard with an automatic transmission. The different Rondo models, many of which are available with either a five- or seven-seat configuration, run the gamut from the LX without air conditioning to the Premium and Luxury with all the trimmings. Overall, this vehicle manages to be practical without being cumbersome.
