Kia Motors Corporation has confirmed that its all-new, uniquely spacious and dynamic B-segment MPV will be named 'Venga' when it goes on sale across Europe later this year.
Designed, engineered and manufactured in Europe, the 4,068mm long Kia Venga will feature an unusually long (2,615mm) wheelbase for its class - and a 1600mm 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-segment vehicle, but within a B-segment footprint.
"The 'Venga' name for our all-new model has an attractive and lively sound that is ideally suited to our latest family car," said Panu Vainamo, General Manager Marketing, Kia Motors Europe.
"The name is derived from Spanish and has a modern, polished feel that fits well with European consumers' active urban lifestyles and also with Kia's core brand values, echoing our 'Power to Surprise'."
Every engine in the Venga line-up will be fitted with Kia's fuel-stretching ISG (Idle Stop & Go) technology and will comply with Euro 5 emission standards.
The 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 115ps.
The latest Kia MPV will be equipped with 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.
