Rondo's steeply-raked windhield provides excellent forward visibility and contributes to its sleek silhouette that hints at its driving excitement while defying the conventional bosy, bulky SUV look
Sharp body lines set off the bold style and give Rondo an all-around muscular look

Integrated roof rails seamlessly blend in with the smooth flow of the roofline and provided added utility when combined with one of the many available roof rack attachments. Standard on all Rondo models except Base
