After an endurance test of 100.000 kilometers, Auto Bild
described the Kia Venga as being “the dream of any car owner”. During the thorough
endurance test there were no notable technical problems.
After testing a 1.4 CWT EcoDynamics Kia Venga (petrol unit)
for over two years, the editors who were in charge of the project appreciated
the Korean model’s spacious interior, perfectly fit for a family. The German
auto magazine also appreciated its tall driving position, easy access at both
at the front and rear, the rear seats versatility and the silence of the
engines, especially during urban usage.
During the entire period of the test there was no need for
extra engine oil between fixed revisions, the transmission functioned without
any hesitation and the Kia Venga braked in adequate parameters, even if it was
still equipped with the original disc brakes and plates, the ones with which it
came out of the factory.
After reaching the 100.000 kilometers target, the Kia Venga
was disassembled entirely to pieces under the guidance of German experts of the
DEKRA organization. The editors of Auto Bild examined each component very
carefully to discover any potential faults. The only piece which had to be
replaced was the socket of a fog lamp. The cost of replacing that component
cost only 60 euros!
The Kia Venga managed after such a great result to get the
second place out of 97 different models tested in the last 13 years by the
reputable German auto magazine. Thus, the Kia Venga is bound to get at least a
slight sales boost.
