‘Uniquely spacious' Kia Venga to debut at Frankfurt

Kia Motors Corporation has confirmed that its all-new, uniquely spacious and dynamic B-§egmènt MPV will be named ‘Venga' when it goes on sale across Europe later this year.

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

'The ‘Venga' name for our all-new model has an attractive and lively sound that is ideally suited to our latest family car,' comments Panu Vainamo, General Manager Marketing, Kia Motors Europe. 'The name is derived from Spanish and has a modern, polished feel that fits well wîth European consumers' active urban life-styles and also wîth Kia's core brand values, echoing our ‘Power to Surprise'.'

Every engine in the Venga line-up will be fitted wîth Kia's fuel-stretching ISG (Idle Stop & Go) technology and will comply wîth Euro 5 emission standards. ( posted on conceptcarz.com) Venga will be marketed exclusively in Europe where consumers will be offered a choice of two 1.4-litre and 1.6-litre gasoline and diesel engines, generating between 75 and 115 ps. The latest Kia MPV will be equipped wîth a sliding 60/40 split rear seat that also folds flat into the floor to create a spacious cargo bay and, depending on model, a tilt-&-slide all-glass panoramic roof.

Skilful packaging will ensure that the Kia Venga redefines the category by offering levels of interior space typical of a larger C-§egmènt vehicle, but within a B-§egmènt footprint.

Every engine in the Kia Venga line-up will be available wîth Kia's fuel-stretching Intelligent Stop and Go technology and will comply wîth Euro 5 emission standards. ( posted on conceptcarz.com) Kia Venga will be marketed exclusively in Europe where consumers will be offered a choice of two 1.4-litre and 1.6-litre petrol and diesel engines, generating between 75 and 115 ps.

Michael Cole, Managing Director of Kia Motors (ÚK) Limited said: 'The 'No3' was one of the stars of Geneva and I am certain Kia Venga will attract similar attention in Frankfurt.

'This is exactly the kind of vehicle ÚK motorists are lòòking for as we emerge from the recent economic turmoil - a fantastically flexible package providing big-car comfort and space within a compact package. It will offer our customers style, sophistication and refinement coupled wîth environmental economy,' he added.
