Seoul--(뉴스와이어)--Kia Motors America (KMA) announced its popular subcompact and midsize CUVs, Kia Rio and Rondo (known as ‘Carens’ in some markets), have been selected as 2010 Consumer Guide Automotive Recommended Vehicles for the vehicle’s offerings of quality, comfort, function and value. The announcement comes on the heels of Kia Rondo being named to the ‘Best Family Cars Under $20,000’ list with About.com, a respected online resource for US consumers.

“Receiving the 2010 Consumer Guide Automotive Recommended Vehicle designation is a tribute to the ongoing evolution and continued improvement of the Kia brand,” said Michael Sprague, Vice President, Marketing, KMA. “This distinction from such a trusted automotive resource reinforces to consumers our commitment to providing the highest quality vehicles infused with great design, value, safety features, utility and practicality.”

Consumer Guide Automotive editors reviewed and selected the top vehicles across 18 vehicle categories, including Subcompact Car, Compact Car, Midsize Car, Premium Midsize Car, Large Car, Premium Large Car, Sporty/Performance Car, Compact SUV, Midsize SUV, Large SUV, Premium Large SUV, Minivan, among others. For more than 40 years Consumer Guide has been empowering buyers to shop with confidence and receives 2.6 million unique visitors each month.

About.com reviewed and selected a number of 2009 and 2010 model year vehicles, finally selecting the top 10 cars they felt best offered families an exceptional combination of value, comfort and seating for under $20,000. “In today’s economy, consumers are constantly looking for ways to save money while retaining quality, and Rondo offers the functionality and safety of a minivan or SUV without the heft, low fuel economy or high price tag,” said Sprague.

The Rio line is often noted for its small footprint, spacious interior, exciting handling and impressive fuel economy. In line with Kia’s dramatic, design-led transformation, Rio offers style flexibility for the fun and frugal. Its full body-color bumpers, a revised tabbed grille that matches the new look of Kia, black bezel headlamps, body-color side moldings and a stylish exposed exhaust outlet further add to its sprightly appearance.

Rondo offers consumers numerous amenities, capable handling and impressive standard convenience and safety features while maintaining a good starting price. The midsize CUV includes space for seven passengers with three rows of seating, offering the same variety of seating arrangements as a full-size SUV or minivan without the bulk or low fuel economy.
