Description
The 2018 Kia Venga 2 1.4 ISG offers a practical, no-nonsense solution for buyers seeking a compact hatchback with the versatility of a small MPV. Though it may not excite driving enthusiasts, it delivers where it matters most for everyday motoring: space, efficiency, and reliability.
Under the bonnet, the 1.4-litre petrol engine is naturally aspirated, producing a modest 89 bhp. While performance is adequate for urban and suburban driving, it can feel underpowered on motorways, particularly when fully loaded. The ISG (Idle Stop & Go) system helps improve fuel efficiency, returning around 50 mpg under mixed conditions – decent for the class.
Where the Venga really shines is in its clever use of space. The high roofline and upright seating position provide excellent headroom and visibility, while the rear seats slide and fold flat, offering up to 1,253 litres of cargo space. Despite its compact footprint, the interior feels roomy, making it ideal for small families or older drivers looking for easy access and a comfortable ride.
The “2” trim level is well-equipped, including alloy wheels, air conditioning, Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, and rear parking sensors. The dashboard layout is functional rather than stylish, but everything is logically placed and user-friendly.
On the road, the Venga prioritizes comfort over engagement. The suspension smooths out most road imperfections, and light steering makes it easy to handle in tight urban environments. Safety-wise, it includes six airbags, stability control, and good crash test ratings for its time.
In summary, the 2018 Kia Venga 2 1.4 ISG is a sensible and affordable hatchback-MPV crossover. While it doesn’t stand out for speed or design flair, it excels in practicality, ease of use, and value for money – especially with Kia’s renowned 7-year warranty backing it up. Ideal for budget-conscious buyers who value function over flash.
