Kia Motors' Crossover Utility Vehicle Returns to the Crossover Segment with Impressive Standard Comfort Convenience and Safety Features
• Improved power and fuel efficiency make Rondo a top choice • Competitive array of standard equipment with a wide range of options A 'Best Buy' by Consumer Guide and a 'Best Value' by Parents magazine and Edmunds.com, the Kia Rondo crossover utility vehicle (CÚV) returns to the Kia Motors line-up combining comfort, convenience and utility. With a highly versatile interior layout capable of seating five or seven passengers, Rondo offers the same variety of seating arrangements as a full-size SÚV or minivan without the bulk or low fuel economy. Car-Like Performance and Handling Available with either a 2.4-liter in-line four-cylinder engine or a 2.7-liter sixty-degree V6, Rondo's engines have upgraded horsepower. The four-cylinder now delivers up to 175 horsepower and 169 pound-feet of torque while the six-cylinder now produces 192 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. The four-cylinder comes with a four-speed automatic whereas the V6 is equipped with a five-speed automatic, both mated to an electronically controlled Sportmatic™ transmission. (posted on conceptcarz.com) Fuel economy for the 2.4-liter engine is 20/27 A/T (city/highway), while the 2.7-liter V6 is 18/26 A/T (city/highway). The front-wheel drive Rondo features independent front and rear suspensions. Situated in front are MacPherson struts with coil springs while the rear's multi-link and coil springs complete the layout to provide a comfortable, balanced ride. Standard front and rear anti-roll bars are calibrated for precise and responsive handling as with the tuned hydraulic power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering. Fresh and Functional Exterior
Available in either LX or EX models, Rondo exudes a fresh, clean look with a modern dynamic shape. Standard LX features include body-colored door handles, body-colored side moldings and black front grille crossbars packaged with 16-inch, six-spoke steel wheels fitted with 205/60HR16 tires. A new LX Plus Package replaces the 16-inch steel wheels with Michelin alloy wheels and adds floor mats and heated seats.
Rondo, a recipient of the five-star frontal crash rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)1 in 2007, comes well-equipped with an unprecedented amount of standard safety equipment, including six standard airbags (advanced dual front, dual front seat-mounted side and full-length side curtain including third-row passengers). Also standard is electronic stability control (ESC) and a four-channel four-wheel antilock braking system (ABS), which help maintain vehicle control during difficult driving conditions. Active front headrests, side-impact door beams, an energy-absorbing steering column, a front crumple zone and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) provide more passenger protection. Industry-Leading Warranty
Like all Kia models, Rondo is covered by a comprehensive warranty program, which offers unprecedented consumer protection. Included in the package are a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, a five-year/60,000-mile limited basic warranty, and a five-year/100,000-mile anti-perforation warranty. A five-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance plan also is part of the comprehensive coverage program.Source - Kia
