[...] new Kia front look combined with the Picanto’s height makes it look like a miniature Kia Rondo now. Wheel design seems to have been ripped off from the Alfa Romeo dial design, something that [...]

Wow Kia scores big this time. Very nice! I wonder if the space will be an issue – westerners are generally big-sized and the leg room doesn't seem promising, especially with the driver's protection enclosure.

The nifty touches like side mirror and other stuff are real neat and thoughtful and practical. I love it!!

I think this is the KIA Carens, renamed as Rondo for US market perhaps. MPV-like taxis are becoming a popular trend, and it could replace sedan taxis in future. Of course, there would be some people who prefer to be driven with a limo sedan.

Just like in Malaysia KLIA, where Daewoo Tacumas replaced the old Wiras.

the L-shaped partition is neat. Should be mandatorily installed in our local taxis in the wake of cases involving taxi drivers-cum rapists/robbers.

The passenger's wing mirror is a nice touch for a taxi. We can see what's coming before opening the door now. That"ll make sure no kapcai will crash into an open taxi door.. but the roof light is tad ugly. They should have design a better looking electronic board. That one looks like a road sign stuck on a car roof.

Full of functionality, especially the wing mirrors on the passenger doors! Hope it doesn't become standard equipment in future cars too hehe, it's useful, but not nice looking.

It is called Kia Rondo, this car just launched in US few months ago, maybe it has different name in asia.

Nice interior design. I wonder if the brittle-looking L-shaped partition can really "protect" the driver.
