2014 Kia Venga (YN, facelift 2014) Dimensions, Size & Specs

With the mirrors opened, the Kia Venga extends to 2020 mm (79.5 inches) in width. This width is important to consider when parking in tight spaces or narrow garages, as the mirrors add almost 25 cm (10 inches) to the vehicle's footprint. While the car remains relatively compact, drivers need to be mindful of this extra width for curb clearance and tight spots.

The curb weight of the 2014 Kia Venga ranges between 1178 kg and 1281 kg (2597 - 2824 lbs). This relatively light weight for a compact hatchback enhances fuel efficiency and makes the car nimble in city driving. The lighter curb weight also contributes to a responsive driving experience, though variations depend on trim levels and optional equipment.

The maximum authorized weight for the 2014 Kia Venga ranges from 1710 kg to 1810 kg (3769 - 3992 lbs). This weight includes the vehicle, passengers, cargo, and fuel. The difference between the curb weight and maximum weight (up to approximately 632 kg / 1394 lbs) reflects the total payload capacity, allowing the vehicle to safely carry multiple passengers and a fair amount of luggage.

The Kia Venga offers a luggage capacity of 314 liters (11.1 cubic feet) with rear seats in use, which is suitable for daily errands and moderate cargo. When the rear seats are folded down, the luggage capacity expands impressively to 1486 liters (52.5 cubic feet), making it very versatile for transporting larger items or luggage for trips.

Standard garages typically range in width from 2400 mm to 3000 mm (94.5 - 118 inches). With the Kia Venga's width at 1765 mm (69.5 inches) without mirrors and 2020 mm (79.5 inches) with mirrors, it comfortably fits inside standard garages. However, caution should be taken when opening doors or folding mirrors inside tight spaces to avoid damage and ensure ease of movement.

The 2014 facelift of the Kia Venga builds on the first-generation YN model by maintaining very similar exterior dimensions, including its 4075 mm length and 1765 mm width. Weight variations are minor, but the facelifted model incorporates modernized features and slight design refinements without significantly increasing size or weight. Overall, it preserves the compact footprint ideal for city driving found in the predecessor while improving interior comfort and style.

In 2014, the Kia Venga competed in the compact hatchback segment against rivals like the Ford B-Max, Opel Meriva, and Renault Modus. Dimensionally, the Venga's length of 4075 mm (160.4 inches) and height of 1600 mm (63 inches) offered a slightly taller stance, providing a roomy interior and good headroom compared to sportier competitors. Its impressive luggage capacity of up to 1486 liters (52.5 cubic feet) with seats folded also placed it favorably for practicality within the segment.

The 2014 Kia Venga facelift is equipped with rim sizes of 6.0J X 15, 6.0J X 16, and 6.5J X 17 inches. Tire sizes include 195/65 R15, 205/55 R16, and 205/50 R17. The smaller 15-inch rims with higher profile tires offer a smoother ride and better absorption of road imperfections, ideal for urban use. Larger 17-inch rims with low profile tires improve handling and cornering performance but may result in a firmer ride.
