Product Overview

Kia Venga is an entry-level subcompact minivan / high-roof hatchback in production from 2010 to 2019. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.4 to 1.6 liters.
Manufactured and marketed in the European market, the Venga has a decent styling but poor power output. It has a basic chassis design that is not meant to tackle high speeds. Instead, it is intended for uninformed consumers who happen to be budget-limited.
Another plus is the small 10.4m (34.1ft) turning circle.

Reviewer score 61%
Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The Kia Venga is a mini-MPV with a very small footprint, but voluminous proportions that make for an exceptionally roomy interior. The model has been around for a few years now, having debuted in 2009. It's part of a joint venture project between Kia and Hyundai, so shares a front-engined, front-wheel-drive platform with the Hyundai i20.

Pros
  • Fantastic cabin space
  • Excellent seven-year warranty
Cons
  • Tardis-like cabin

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The 1.4-litre CRDi can suffer from throttle response and hesitation problems. Dashboard rattles are common, especially when it's cold. Front and rear brake discs can wear quickly; some have had to be replaced in under 20,000 miles. Despite the Venga being launched more than a decade ago, Kia hasn't issued any recalls for it so far.
