This is what happens when you give an import builder like KSportline a car to play with and make into something worthwhile. Well this Kia Ronda has certainly ended up being the centre stage and that is mainly because of the way that it looks rather than the performance.
The car is finished off in a beautiful cobalt blue, has the performance of a sports car, despite have the body of a SUV, the work has created a sort of Frankenstein of cars taking some ideas from performance cars and putting into the Ronda.
This is a second generation car that would have come with choice of 2.0 litre, 2.4 litre or the better 2.7 litre V6; this is coupled with the four speed auto or five speed manual or auto gear box. Performance wise this production car would offer 175 HP to 192 HP, depending on the what combo had been selected.
This show car has pushed the boundaries of the production vehicle to the limit and in some case beyond to produce a fantastic one off design that displays style, design and that you have to drive a sports car to be sporty.

Kia Rondo Complete Window Tint Kit – 35% Dark Tint
Product Description
“Rvinyl window tint kits are made from high quality tint film manufactured by Llumar. Our film when properly installed will not fade, lose color, turn purple, or bubble. Precut tints are a cost effective way for the do-it-yourself installer to save time and money by taking the guess work out of the window tint installation process. Rvinyl car window tint kits are pre-cut specifically for the make, model and year listed in the product name using advanced software and the most updated window tint pattern databases in the industry. We use professional grade equipment in the manufacturing of your film kit, allowing for a precision and professional results in half the time it would take you to install film by the roll. Although installing pre-cut kits is significantly easier and less time consuming than installing film by the roll, it can still be a difficult process. Although many sites claim their kits are easy to install, we recommend you review the installation procedures outlined to make sure our product meets your needs. Installation difficulty depends on the ability of the installer, the particular windows being tinted and the compound surface of the rear windshield, as it will require heat shrinking for proper installation. Front and rear windows are generally relatively easy to tint as they rarely require heat shrinking.”
