We're talking about a former Kia CUV model with enough seating to take a whole family seven on a trip anywhere: the Kia Rondo.
This 7-seater always skimmed along a fine line between CUV and minivan. The Kia Rondo popular choice in the Kia community. However, Kia stopped producing the vehicle in 2010, and chose to put more attention on reimagining their brand and ultimately introducing a suite of award-winning sedans.
Thus, Barnett Kia isn't surprised to learn that there is a possibility the South Korean automaker might just bring the Rondo back.Like most new Kia models, the Rondo, should it materialize, will be designed under Peter Shreyer's discerning eye. Shreyer, for readers who might not be familiar with him, is credited with revamping Kia's image over the past couple of years. The most recent set of pictures suggest a low roofline; dramatic wheels and sporty; cab-forward design.
While not chiseled in stone; it makes sense. Why not extend the wild success the 2011-2012 Kia models have met by extending the automaker's revitalized design and technology prowess to past models?
