New Kia Venga; engines, specs, dimensions, warranty, tires & wheels…
When the all-new Kia Venga goes on sale in Europe early next year, it will be available with an exceptionally broad range of diesel and gasoline engines.
All of the Venga engines are highly efficient units that provide a respectable amount of power and meet latest EURO5 emissions standards!
Kia Venga diesel engine specs
Diesel power in the new Kia Venga comes from two four-cylinder powerplants that feature dsiplacements of 1.4L and 1.6L with outputs spanning from 75 horsepower to 128 horsepower.
Kia Venga is also available with a choice of well proven 1.6L or 1.4L gasoline engines from Kia’s Gamma engine family.
Base 1.4L diesel engine is available in two variants, with 75 hp (low power version) and 90 hp (high power version).
Similarly, the 1.6L diesel engine also comes available in two variants, with low hp version generating 115 horsepower, while more potent version produces 128 horsepower and maximum torque of 255 Nm.
They both have a chain-driven timing system, which means service intervals have been extended to 30.000 km or once per year.
Kia Venga gasoline engine specs
Those customers who prefer gasoline engines over diesels will be able to choose between 1.6L or 1.4L gasoline powered engines.
Both powerplants belong to Kia‘s Gamma engine familly. The smaller, 1.4L engine generates 90 horsepower and 137 Nm of torque at 4.000 rpm, while larger, 1.6L unit churns out a highly competitive 125 ps and 156Nm of torque.
Transmissions in new Kia Venga
Buyers of new Kia Venga will have a choice of five-speed or six-speed manual transmissions and one automatic transmission.
Manual five-speed gearbox is fitted as standard on all gasoline powered Venga models as well as on low-output (75 horsepower) diesel powered Venga.
Kia’s all-new six-speed manual gearbox will be fitted to Venga models fitted with 90-hp 1.4L diesel engine and both versions equipped with 1.6L diesel engines, while four-speed automatic gearbox can be ordered as an extra cost option on the 1.6 gasoline unit.
Kia Venga dimensions & tires
Size wise, the all-new Kia Venga is 4068 mm long, 1765mm wide and 1600mm high.
In general, it is a tad shorter than Kia Soul crossover but features longer wheelbase (Venga = 2615mm; Soul = 2550mm).
Base Kia Venga ride rides on 15-inch tires, while larger 16 inch and 17 inch are available as well.
Just like all European-built Kias, the all-new Kia Venga is also backed by Kia’s Kia’s award-winning 7-Year drivetrain / 5-Year (whole car) or 150,000 km warranty, plus a 10-Year anti-corrosion warranty.
I’m still really really impressed with the interior of new Kia Venga, it doesn’t look cheap like the Jazz, Fiesta, Mazda2 crowd. Looks more upmarket.
The venga it’s not for USA , It’s for Europe . The engines of the venga is 1.4 / 1.6 both petrol & diesel 75 – 112 bhp . It’s built in europe and for europe market only.
sorry the bhp of the venga is from 75 – 125 bhp
I personally think these models designed for europe and made in europe for europe shud stay there. cuz every next Kia is better than the previous. so whatever the next rio will be, it will be better than this.
kia venga is europe only
This KIA won’t be manufactured in Slovakia, but in sister factory Hyundai in Nošovice (Czech Republic).
I would like to see this car it appears to be very versitile, when is it available in the uk. I read that it may be here in February
Hi Kia; Will the Kia Venga ever be available in South Africa. It looks like a wonderfull car!!
Kia Venga will only be marketed in Europe.
Just tested the 1.4 CRDi Venga ‘2’ EcoDynamics which I like very much apart from the under-powered engine.
We were promised the 1.6 CRDi 115PS 6 Speed Manual & 4 speed auto which would make the car almost (for me!) perfect. Is the 1.6 diesel to be fitted in the near future? If so when will I be able to buy one in London?
My other option is to buy the hyundai i30 estate (Comfort 1.6 CRDi 115PS) which gives me the right engine & almost the same space for a similar list price. Ok only a 5 year warranty (not 7) but hyundai gives 5 years breakdown too!
The big attraction with the i30 is a whopping £4000 off the list price.
Look forward to hear Kia’s thoughts.
Kia Venga ia available with 1,6L CRDI but as far as I know, not in the UK. Kia will probably bring it to the UK later next year. Instead of going with Hyundai i30, which is a nice car, you should check out the cee’d hatch or cee’d sw. They both drive great and look good as well.
This model of KIA is very popular in Russia. Especially among women.
