Best Value People Movers 2015

These are the people movers that should cost you the least to own over three years. This has been calculated by Wheels using fuel economy, maintenance and insurance costs, and the sum you can expect to lose in depreciation. Cars also get points for the length of their warranties.

1. Kia Rondo Si

Taking the top spot isn’t a first for Kia’s Rondo, which suggests frugality is not just a fleeting quality. The Korean bus doesn’t win on the strength of retained value – the predicted depreciation isn’t fantastic at 53 percent – but on the fact you can buy the Rondo for a mere $30K, so there’s not too much to lose. Kia’s seven-year warranty is a bonus, which helps the Rondo people-mover see off challengers from other long-warrantied brands such as Hyundai and Citroen.
