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% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

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
