"Kia Venga" (Kia Venga): photos and reviews of the owners

The appearance of the car Kia Venga in realityIt turned out not quite typical for Asian cars. Although who should be surprised? Feedback from users about the model is simply magnificent, many eminent concerns can envy its commercial success. After all, from the Korean manufacturer there is only a name, a badge on the hood and investment. Compact van came out surprisingly European - its design and design were handled by German specialists who gave him the Spanish name, and the assembly of this model is still being conducted at the company in Slovakia.

A guest who plays by the rules

Therefore, the car does not distinguish such a characteristicAsian appearance, immediately striking in other brands - a compact crossover Kia Soul and others, directly developed by experts of the Korean concern. Unlike their relatives, "Kia Wenga" is deprived of any eastern ambitions. Therefore, there are no strict lines with slanted elements. After all, the "Kia Wenga" model, whose photo represents a good-natured and memorable car with a slightly ridiculous and puffy "appearance", was created for the market of European countries with very different criteria.

Small outside - volumetric inside

But the exterior of this machine is deceptive. Despite the compact size and apparent miniaturization, the base of the car is larger than that of the same Soul. For the driver and passengers it is palpable in small external dimensions, but a comfortable cabin that comfortably accommodates four passengers and a driver. The manufacturer did not forget about the economy of cars, reducing the resistance of air masses when moving due to the aerodynamic coefficient of flow around the body, which does not exceed 0.31. Of course, this city model does not chase the indicators that are set in the "Formula 1", but these figures help to reduce fuel consumption to 7-8 liters, depending on operating conditions.

Practicality and convenience

The basis of the "Kia Weng" laid very differentindicators - functionality and ergonomics of the cabin, its spaciousness and considerable volume. The car easily allows you to fit in it even to people with growth much more than average, now 190 cm or more - this is not a problem. In addition, optional "Kia Wenga" is installed panoramic roof, which visually increases the dimensions of the interior and adds soft natural light to it. However, there is also the reverse side of the coin - to the windshield auto is quite a long distance. This forced to place the front pillars so that they somewhat restrict the driver's view. In addition, this model was developed for use in urban conditions, which is displayed in a vertical, even a few "stool" seating layout, not conducive to long-distance travel and travel. Perhaps, to some disadvantages of seats can be attributed and insufficient lateral support, the lack of which is particularly noticeable with the emerging rolls. At the same time, the rear sofa easily moves along the guides at a distance of about 13 cm, which allows passengers to feel comfortable - the legroom remains in excess, and the swinging doors do not restrict landing or landing at Kia Wenga. The photo of the car will easily convince skeptics of the solidity of such assurances.

Capacity and compactness

If there is a need for transportationbulky cargo, and the luggage space is not enough, the seats can easily fold into the floor, forming additional space. In addition, in the stern of the "Kia Wenga" a niche is provided, where the necessary multifunctional tools and other consumables are stacked.

Impact on the environment and road users

European designers did not forget about thea thorough approach to auto safety. After all, according to the results of the crash tests, this model received the highest score - 5 stars by the EuroNCAP system. Manufacturers from Slovenia also took care of obtaining certificates LCA, which indicate the minimum impact of the car on the environment during all periods of his life, from production and design to disposal.

Of course, the poweraggregates "Kia Wenga", the technical characteristics of which were selected taking into account the weight of the model: from an economical 75-strong gasoline engine to a turbo-diesel for 128 liters. from. They meet the strict emission criteria set by Euro 5. In addition, many owners have appreciated the advantages of the Stop & Go system, which ensures optimum fuel consumption in the urban cycle. Also, an interesting solution aimed at economy was the modification of versions with manual transmission by an electronic assistant, which prompts the need to switch gears for the minimum use of a gasoline or diesel mixture. This forms the driver a calm, measured driving style. While following the advice of an assistant, the dynamics of movement is not encouraging, it is worth looking at the average fuel consumption on the on-board computer, and the views change, because the load on the wallet is much easier.

In the basic configuration of the car does not surprisea wealth of equipment or designer delights, but about the top version of "Kia Weng" reviews of its users are somewhat different. So, the owners mark the ergonomic steering wheel, the parking sensors and the rear-view camera, the stability control system and cruise control, the electric package with a modern media system and hand-free. With the starting price for this version from 770 000 to 800 000 r. it makes sense to pay attention to it.
