The Kia Rondo

Available in two trims, LX and EX, the Rondo is nicely equipped from the base model on up. Even the lowest LX trim comes with important safety features, such as stability control and antilock brakes. Other satisfying standard features include 16-inch wheels, full power accessories and an audio system with CD player. Air-conditioning is standard on all but the lowest LX model.

Moving up to the EX trim level adds some interior upgrades, including a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, lighted vanity mirrors and an MP3-capable stereo with additional speakers and steering-wheel-mounted controls. Chrome door handles, 17-inch wheels and several other accessories embellish the exterior.
