Kia Retona

Automobiles

The Kia Retona is a small mini SUV based on Kia's military jeeps. Its name is a portmanteau of the phrase return to nature. It was developed by Asia Motors and in some markets was first sold as the Asia Retona. The Retona used the same platform as the first-generation Kia Sportage Convertible, and its competitors included the Lada Niva, the Suzuki Jimny and the SsangYong Korando. A 2006 survey of German owners by the magazine Auto Bild found the Retona to be abysmally unreliable, which is the one piece of ownership evidence the source records for the model.
