A more powerful engine and smoother transmission is available in the new 2007 Kia Rondo LX V6. Otherwise, in terms of features, it's much like the 4-cylinder LX. A 182-hp, 2.7-liter DOHC V6 lies under the hood, mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. The front-wheel drive minivan sits on 16-inch alloy wheels, and comes standard with two rows of seating, with an optional 50/50 split-fold third row. Standard safety features include ABS brakes, dual front-side airbags with a deactivation sensor, a tire monitor, and stability control.
Standard accessories are identical to the I4 LX. Intermittent front and rear wipers, power windows, locks, and mirrors, air conditioning, front and overhead console, a CD player, and a convenient roof rack are included on the 2007 Rondo LX V6. For a sportier look, you can opt for the body kit, which gives you a rear spoiler, side skirts, and flared fenders, and extended fascias. The Convenience Package adds remote entry, cruise control, and an alarm. A cargo tray and roof crossbar are also available. The minivan gets so-so mileage for this segment, at 20/30 mpg.
