Kia to show Venga compact at Frankfurt motor show

Kia will show a small car called the Venga at the Frankfurt motor show in September, ahead of its launch in Europe later this year.

The car is based on the No. 3 Concept shown in Geneva in March. It's a B-segment car, though Kia is hawking it as a having more room than most cars that size.

The Venga measures 160.157 inches in length and has a 102.952-inch wheelbase.

The Venga will be sold in Europe with small-displacement gasoline and diesel engines, which employ a stop/start technology. Other features include a 60/40 folding rear seat and a glass panoramic roof.
