When sitting in the Rondo, you immediately notice the huge amount of headroom and impressive visibility afforded by the tall roof. The available third-row seat is intended for kids and requires the 2nd row to be slid forward, which limits legroom for passengers three through five. The instruments are also big and simple to read. The more driver-seat adjustment could be nice for taller drivers, but many may find leading two rows spacious, with comfy seat bottoms. Accessing that third row is pretty easy, though. Cargo space is cavernous with both rear rows lowered, but understandably pathetic when both are raised. Materials quality is impressive for an automobile in the Rondo's budget range, and build quality is excellent. The Kia Rondo's easy-to-use climate controls consist of three simple knobs, while the stereo faceplate maintains no less than clearly marked buttons. The typical content within both the LX and EX trims has also been altered. Five seats are standard in the base LX, while a third row is optional in the LX and standard in the uplevel EX.
