Kia Venga

The Kia Rio basically started this new trend of cheap and cheerful vehicles. Although the Kia Rio won't be replaced by this handsome hatchback called the Venga here in the United States. I just wanted to show some of the newer vehicles that will be making its way to European shores in the upcoming year. Under the hood will be a 1.6 liter turbo-diesel with 117hp. With a gasoline counterpart producing 75hp. Now that may not sound like a lot of horsepower. But when you look at fuel economy and it's true purpose. It really does make sense. This hatchback is going to replace the Kia Rio in Europe. If we're lucky, Kia may rebadge it as the Rio here in the United States with the same 1.6 liter four-cylinder with 110hp. Europeans will get the fancy stop/start technology as well as the nicely designed glass roof. This and the Hyundai i10 are proof that you don't need a large car. Both vehicles are nicely equipped and are good value for the money. One thing you may want to worry about is depreciation. But with the uprise in quality and more people looking to buy one of these. Value on these cars may go up. Watch out Toyota and Honda. I think these companies are coming up fast.
