A “Best Buy” by Consumer Guide and a “Best Value” by Parents magazine and Edmunds.com, the Kia Rondo crossover utility vehicle (CUV) 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 SUV or minivan without the bulk or low fuel economy.

Kia Motors America (KMA) today announced the 2009 Kia Spectra, Rio5 and Rondo have been included in two MSN Autos Editors’ Top Pick lists. Kia Spectra (LX) and Rio5 are named to the “Top 10 Cars for Less Than $15,000” list and Rondo is a top pick for “Best Family Cars for Downsizing.” The three vehicles are lauded for offering attractive pricing on top of an impressive combination of quality, space, comfort, value and warranty.
