The Kia Carens is a compact MPV launched in 1999 by the Korean manufacturer Kia, now in its third generation, and marketed worldwide under various nameplates — prominently as the Kia Rondo. In 2006, Kia presented a second generation Carens for model year 2007. The Carens/Rondo followed Kia's introduction at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show of the Multi-S,〔 essentially the Carens/Rondo in concept form — the ''S'' standing for ''Sporty, Spacious and Smart.'' The Multi-S differed significantly from the production model only its inclusion of a dual-panel sunroof running the length of the roof.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Babez.de, Sept, 14, 2005 )〕 The origin of the name Carens is unclear, but it means lacking or being without in Latin. The name Rondo derives from the musical term Rondo.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Edmunds.com, Dec 6, 2006 )〕 == First generation (RS; 1999–2006) == Kia debuted the first generation model of Carens, the RS series in 1999. A facelift was issued in 2002. The model was discontinued in Australia in 2001, with production continuing elsewhere for a new model which was launched in 2002. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kia Carens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
