Kia Rondo
The new generation Rondo, even in the base versions, is a well-equipped and efficient all-round vehicle. The exterior design is understated, while the interior is modern and practical. Seven-passenger versions are available, though passengers in the last row may find they drew the short straw. The 164-hp four-cylinder sometimes works harder than necessary with a resultant negative impact on fuel consumption even though the automatic sports six gears.
