2016 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 1.6L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
I did manage to get four people in the car but it was tight and the two in the back seat were not big adults (under 5'8"). We had to adjust the front passenger seat up a bit to make more room for the person behind. see full Kia Rio review

2008 Kia Rondo Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2008 4dr Wagon 182-horsepower 2.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Tall large people can sit in the second row with more comfort as they can in the front seats of our Honda Civic or Sebring convertible. Third row is not bad for short trips for adults and children would be good for longer trips. see full Kia Rondo review
2007 4dr Wagon 182-horsepower 2.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Passengers can be comfortable.Also cup holders,good seat belts. see full Kia Rondo review
2007 4dr Wagon 182-horsepower 2.7L V6

We have enough room for our two kids and the dog in addition to the cargo space for luggage or groceries. see full Kia Rondo review

2007 4dr Wagon 162-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD
It is difficult to find a comfortable driving position in the manual seat because the seat tilts forward as it lifts up. Lumbar support is poor an the steering wheel is too far away. see full Kia Rondo review
