Kia Venga (10 on) - Review Review by Chris Ebbs on 17 June 2010 Last Updated: 18 February 2011 The Venga is Kia’s first real serious attempt in making a small and practical people-carrier. With its high roofline and short body it offers an alternative to the likes of the Renault Grand Modus and Citroen C3 Picasso. As well as being just as practical as the French manufacturers’ efforts, it is reasonable to drive and it makes perfect sense as a city runabout. Add in the peace of mind that comes with a seven-year warranty and the Venga is a serious contender to more established competition. 3 out of 5 Other Kia reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery 3 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £11,595 - £17,970 View all new prices Used price range: £6,660 - £12,702 View all used prices See 22 new models for sale from £9,995 Get a Kia Venga (10 on) information pack Next steps Kia Venga cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
