2010 Kia Venga


All-new Kia Venga, uniquely spacious and dynamic B-segment MPV makes its global debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The new model will be manufactured in Europe, and will go on sale across Europe later this year - backed by two warranties: Kia's unique '7-Years (drive train) / 5-Years (whole car) / 150,000 km' warranty, plus a 10-Year anti-corrosion warranty.

The new manufacture model, which is closely related to the stunning Kia No3 Concept car that made its debut at the Geneva Show earlier this year to worldwide acclaim, brings stylish good looks and a fun driving experience to an otherwise 'humdrum' vehicle segment.


"Kia Venga will certainly deliver all the practicality and versatility that a European family could require. It will also provide them with the most stylish transport this segment has ever seen," observes Benny Oeyen, Director Marketing & Product Planning, Kia Motors Europe. "On the road, its performance and agility will surpass the class norm. Kia Venga will ensure that rewarding, fun-to-drive motoring is now available to drivers whose lifestyles demand an MPV."


The 'Venga' name has an attractive and lively sound that suits Kia's latest family car. It is derived from Spanish and has a modern feel that fits well with active urban lifestyles. It echoes Kia's core brand value - the 'Power to Surprise'.

Designed, engineered and manufactured in Europe, the 4,068 mm long Kia Venga features an unusually long wheelbase for its class (2,615 mm) - and a 1600 mm high roofline to maximize cabin space. Skilful packaging ensures that the Kia Venga redefines its MPV category by offering levels of interior space typical of a larger C-segment vehicle, but within a B-segment footprint.


"Kia Venga is a tremendously exciting new model for us which will build on the success of the Kia cee'd and boost the on-going process of changing European consumers' perceptions of our brand," continues Oeyen.


"The B-segment MPV is still a 'young' concept, and although demand for this type of vehicle shrank during the last two years, we believe that two main factors will reverse that trend. Firstly, the economic climate will encourage consumers to down-size. Secondly, exciting new products from several manufacturers will re-ignite interest in the whole segment and with Venga, Kia will be positioned to maximize its sales growth and sector share," adds Oeyen.


All engines in the Kia Venga line-up will be available with Kia's fuel-stretching Start/Stop (ISG) technology and will comply with Euro 5 emission standards. Start/Stop (ISG) equipped models will have a CO2 rating from just 117 g/km (1.4-litre U2 engine).
