Kia Rondo Performance Overview
Kia’s Rondo performance record on this page is brief, covering 3 verified tests across 2007 to 2007, all from the opening year of the RP first generation. In that snapshot, the model’s identity was defined by a naturally aspirated 182-hp gasoline setup in EX Wagon form, with acceleration clustered tightly rather than spread across multiple trims or powertrains. The quickest measured launch was the 8.7-second 0-60 mph run by the 2007 EX Wagon, while another test of the same trim returned 9.0 seconds, placing the recorded range within three tenths.
That consistency carried through the quarter mile as well. The fastest pass was a 16.8-second quarter-mile at 83.3 mph from the 2007 EX Wagon, while the overall average landed at 16.9 seconds at 83.1 mph. With only one model year represented in the available independent tests, there is no multi-era progression here from early to late output, transmission, or powertrain changes; the visible record is a single-year look at the Rondo’s original U.S.-market performance profile.
As it stands today, the current generation represented here remains RP, and its best recorded figure is still the 8.7-second 0-60 result from the 2007 EX Wagon.

How we verify Kia Rondo performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Kia Rondo trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
