2018 Kia Rondo
Versatility, Meet Luxury

Rondo’s sleek and sculpted design marks a dramatic shift away from the look of most urban vehicles. Its dynamic front end and smooth slope towards the rear offers a visual delight for the segment. With available 18” machined-finish alloy wheels, High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Xenon projector headlights, LED daytime running lights and LED light bar technology taillights, night or day, the Rondo exudes an unmistakable presence whether in motion or parked.

“I wanted to give the new Rondo a sleeker look and feel, to create a design that envelops its functionality and versatility in something altogether more athletic and dynamic,” says Peter Schreyer, Kia’s chief of design.

The Rondo is renowned for functionality, flexibility, adaptability and versatility, namely its availability to seat five or seven passengers. With generously proportioned cargo space, numerous stowage spaces and a luxurious interior, Rondo will impress equally inside and out.

Have a seat and stay a while. You’ll want to the moment you see the Rondo’s updated interior design with its intuitive, driver-focused layout. The available LCD supervision cluster provides the driver with an intuitive way to receive important vehicle information including open doors, turn-by-turn navigation (if equipped), rear cross traffic alert, as well as user-settable menus and much more.

The world seems like a pretty big place when you look up. As it turns out, the Rondo feels the same when that view pours in through the available panoramic sunroof.
