Designed as an alternative to vans, the Kia Rondo will get you where you want to go relatively inexpensively thanks to its fuel-efficient but not terribly powerful 2.0-litre 164-horsepower 4-cylinder. Practical and roomy, the Rondo has matured over the years to the point that it has become one of the most competitive choices on the market. In this segment, besides the Rondo, there's only the Ford C-Max and Mazda5.
