Kia Venga 2015 review - pictures

The Venga competes in the supermini MPV sector with the Nissan Note and Ford B-Max.

The Venga is offered with Kia's industry-leading seven-year warranty.

The interior feels hard-wearing but short on design flair.

The Venga gets Kia's revised 'tiger nose' grille design.

The £490 optional 'Silver Storm' paint seen here makes the Venga look quite drab.

The Venga has a choice of engines depending on which trim you go for - the best is the 1.6 litre CRDi diesel only available on '3' and '4' trim levels.

The Venga represents strong value for money.

The Venga's steering is quick but lifeless and the soft chassis is more suited to relaxed cruising than a blast down a B-road.

Space in the back is great especially for a car as short as this.

Boot space is an impressive 440-litres even with all five seats in place.

The Kia Venga offers a false boot floor for secure storage.

Ultimately, the Kia Venga doesn't represent as good a buy as some rivals.
