The 2010 Kia Venga is based on the Kia No 3 concept that was earlier revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show.

The 4068mm-long 2010 Kia Venga comes with an extraordinary long wheel base of 2,615mm and a 1600 mm-high roofline in order to provide the driver with more cabin space. The panoramic glass moonroof comes with a tilt-and-slide opening.

The car offers good luggage space with 60/40-split folding rear seats and a double-level boot floor that gives the users more storage capacity.

The car also features the fuel-stretching Intelligent Stop and Go technology. The 2010 Kia Venga will be available in both, petrol and diesel variants, 1.4 litre petrol engine and a 1.6 litre diesel engine capable of producing 55kW and 85kW, respectively.

The car will meet Euro 5 emission standards, the company has said.

The 2010 Kia Venga does not have the Kia concept No 3’s windscreen that runs diagonally from the A-pillar on the passenger end to the B-pillar on the driver’s end.

Michael Cole, managing director of Kia UK, said, “The ‘No 3? was one of the stars of Geneva and I am certain Venga will attract similar attention in Frankfurt.”

He further said that the 2010 Kia Venga was the kind of vehicle UK motorists are looking for in the wake of the economic slowdown.

“It is a fantastically flexible package providing big-car comfort and space within a compact package. It will offer our customers style, sophistication and refinement coupled with environmental economy,” he added.

The 2010 Kia Venga model is being designed and manufactured in Europe and will soon be available in early 2010.

Although the company will be manufacturing the 2010 Kia Venga in the right-hand-drive section for its Australian market, there has been no word on launch of a right-hand-drive for European market.
