Kia Venga Estate (2010 - 2019) running costs and reliability

06 June 2019 by Chris Ebbs

Parkers overall rating: 3 out of 5 3.0

Miles per pound (mpp)

Petrol engines	4.6 - 5.0 mpp

Low figures relate to the least economical version; high to the most economical. Based on WLTP combined fuel economy for versions of this car made since September 2017 only, and typical current fuel or electricity costs.

Fuel economy

Petrol engines	34.4 - 37.2 mpg

If you’re planning to do plenty of long-distance journeys then the diesel is your best bet as it manages 62mpg but the pricey premium you pay over petrol models might be off-putting. Insurance groups are average for a car of this size while prices are competitive against alternatives.

Emissions are about average with the 1.4-litre petrol emitting 147g/km of CO2 while the 1.6-litre version is 164g/km. As you’d expect the diesel performs much better and thanks to the use of a start/stop system emissions are just 117g/km meaning a low annual car tax cost of £30.

Kia models tend to be mechanically sound and with the added protection of a seven-year warranty potential buyers should feel confident that they are buying a solid product.
