BMW kia venga (2010)

All-new Kia Venga, uniquely spacious and dynamic B-segment MPV makes its global debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The new model will be manufactured in Europe, and will go on sale across Europe later this year - backed by two warranties: Kia's unique '7-Years (drivetrain) / 5-Years (whole car) / 150,000 km' warranty, plus a 10-Year anti-corrosion warranty.

The new production model, which is closely related to the stunning Kia No3 Concept car that made its debut at the Geneva Show earlier this year to worldwide acclaim, brings stylish good looks and a fun driving experience to an otherwise 'humdrum' vehicle segment.

"Kia Venga will certainly deliver all the practicality and versatility that a European family could require. It will also provide them with the most stylish transport this segment has ever seen," observes Benny Oeyen, Director Marketing & Product Planning, Kia Motors Europe. "On the road, its performance and agility will surpass the class norm. Kia Venga will ensure that rewarding, fun-to-drive motoring is now available to drivers whose lifestyles demand an MPV."

The 'Venga' name has an attractive and lively sound that suits Kia's latest family car. It is derived from Spanish and has a modern feel that fits well with active urban lifestyles. It echoes Kia's core brand value - the 'Power to Surprise'.New Kia Venga will offer consumers a winning combination of style and practicality when it goes on sale across Europe at the turn of this year. Bearing many of the striking design elements and detail touches that drew wide media and public acclaim to the Kia No3 concept car at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, Venga brings a sensational 'good looks' to a segment of the market previously characterised by 'dull but worthy' vehicles.

Indeed, the similarities between the No3 concept car and the production-ready Kia Venga making its debut at Frankfurt go surprisingly deep. Apart from the adoption of a more conventional windscreen and roof design, all metal panels are common between the two models, and only minor changes have been made to turn the design concept into a production reality.

"B-segment MPVs have traditionally been a class of vehicle purchased out of necessity - they are cars of function and practicality," explains Kia Chief Design Officer, Peter Schreyer. "Now all that is about to change. With Kia Venga we havewhile also being genuinely desirable and fun to drive. Kia Venga is going to re-ignite interest among consumers in B-segment MPVs, by setting new standards for the class!"

Viewed from any direction, Kia Venga appears to get progressively wider as the eye is drawn from top to bottom, thanks to the car's long wheelbase and wide track - giving it a stable, purposeful, sporty stance. All of the car's creases, shapes and outlines - from the sleek headlamp housings, through wedge-shaped double shoulder creases and deep swage lines on the doors, to the 'kick-up' rear passenger windows - get progressively higher as they flow from front to rear, making Kia Venga appear poised and ready for action, even when parked.

Doing away with the boxy 'mini-van' profile typically associated with B-segment MPVs, Kia Venga adopts a sleeker, racier profile. Indeed, Venga's slippery form achieves a class-best figure for aerodynamic drag with a Cd of just 0.31 - reducing fuel consumption, emissions output and wind noise - as well as satisfying numerous aesthetic criteria.

Short overhangs front and rear combine with the new model's broad stance and its 'smiling' lower air intake to enhance the overall feeling of 'eagerness' to get moving. The bold, concave swage lines along the flanks accentuate Kia Venga's pronounced shoulder lines and muscular wheel arches, to give the car a svelte, but athletic appearance.

When Kia Venga is viewed in profile, the extended, four-panel glasshouse reaches beyond front and rear doors to improve driver visibility and to apparently 'stretch' the car's outline. At both front and rear, modern, angular light clusters draw the viewers' eyes sharply in towards the middle of the car.

The treatment of glass surfaces is especially important in the creation of Kia Venga and buyers can accentuate this aspect of the MPV by specifying the optional, all-glass, two-piece sliding panoramic sunroof. It covers almost the entire roof area, bringing light to the interior to add to the feeling of spaciousness, and making the car seem sleeker by disguising the windscreen header rail and seeming to draw the roof line back.

Kia Venga will be marketed exclusively in Europe with a choice of 10 exterior paint colours, two of them - Byte Blue and Caramel Gold - u

Designed, engineered and manufactured in Europe, the 4,068 mm long Kia Venga features an unusually long wheelbase for its class (2,615 mm) - and a 1600 mm high roofline to maximise cabin space. Skilful packaging ensures that the Kia Venga redefines its MPV category by offering
