Practicality & Storage

Kia’s B-segment MPV is genuinely ‘uniquely spacious’

In creating Venga, Kia’s design team worked hard to create a package that offers European consumers generous interior space within a modest overall foot-print – without compromising the car’s sensuous exterior lines or driving dynamics.

“From the very start of the design process, Venga needed to be a car that could tick multiple boxes on consumer wish lists” explains Chief Design Officer Peter Schreyer. “A spacious and flexible interior is a ‘must-have’ for many car buyers, and Venga meets this requirement while also featuring Kia’s striking design language, proving that style and practicality need not be mutually-exclusive.”

The 4,068 mm long Venga has an unusually long (2,615 mm) wheelbase for its class, plus a 1600 mm high roofline and class-best 1,765 mm width, to offer interior space comparable to that found in many C-segment cars – but within a footprint typical of a B-segment vehicle.

This clever packaging ensures Venga beats competitor brand vehicles for space in many key interior measurements, including front and rear legroom and hip room, as well as luggage space. Venga also offers competitive front and rear headroom, at 1,020 mm and 980 mm respectively.

Flexible solutions for people and cargo transportation

In addition to Venga’s clever interior packaging, which ensures it challenges or beats competitor vehicles for all interior dimensions, the new Kia model features a host of innovative solutions to maximise cabin space.

Should owners require more than the 444 litres of boot space provided in the car’s standard arrangement with all seats up and the sliding rear seat in its forwards position, Venga offers a number of options to expand luggage capacity.

Firstly, a two-tier boot space floor means that owners have the option of using a lower level floor to quickly and easily increase the luggage compartment’s height by 163 mm, extending total volume to 570 litres (552 litres, plus 18 litres in the underfloor tray). The clever design allows delicate, unstable items (such as potted plants or glass bottles) to be transported safely and securely in the boot area, by simply using the lower floor.

For carrying bulkier items, Venga’s 60/40 split rear seats can also slide forwards and backwards individually over a 130 mm range, or if more space is required, the rear seats feature ‘Fold & Dive’ functionality. This useful feature creates a completely flat floor for the rear load area – without the need to adjust or remove the seat headrestraints.

With both rear seats folded flat, Venga boasts a voluminous 1552 mm long cargo area, with a total capacity of 1,253 litres when loaded to the roof.
