In 2009, Kia released the Venga, a five-door compact MPV for busy families. It offers significantly more practicality than a supermini, but remains small enough that it's still agile and fun to drive. A 2014 facelift helped to keep the styling modern, but it didn't make it past the first generation as it was discontinued in 2019.

Used Kia Venga FAQ's
Which is the most popular engine in the Kia Venga?
There have been both petrol and diesel engines available with the Venga, but the petrol motors remain the most popular among used models. These tend to be a lower-cost option and provide plenty of power for everyday driving.
Which are the most popular model variants?
Kia offered the Venga in three models: 2, 3 and 4. As a mid-point model, the '3' has been the most popular with its standard 7.0-inch touchscreen display, privacy glass, automatic air conditioning and cruise control with a speed limiter.
What optional extras should I look out for?
Customers should look out for the panoramic sunroof, and there is also keyless entry and start available. There's also an available heated steering wheel for cold mornings and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.
Is the Kia Venga a good family car?
The Venga has enough room to hold five adults comfortably, but it's not a huge MPV, so it is still agile and fun to drive. There's also an accommodating boot space, making it a great option for a family.
Is there a hybrid version of the Kia Venga?
Even though Kia has been a leader in hybrid and electric technology, there has not been a plug-in variant of the Venga. Instead, only petrol and diesel motors were available until the Venga was discontinued in 2019.
Is the Kia Venga available as an automatic?
Yes, there are plenty of used Venga models with an automatic transmission. However, the manual gearbox seems to be more popular, helping buyers to keep the cost down slightly.
Is there a four-wheel drive version available?
No, because of the compact nature of the Venga, it makes sense that the car was only built with a front-wheel drive configuration. This setup ensures maximum fuel economy for cost-conscious motorists.
