The Kia Venga is one of the last remaining members of a dying breed of small MPVs as the crossovers and SUVs take over the market. It has boxy, van like styling which prioritised interior space and practicality, once a highly desirable trait from a family car. But consumers have been moving towards the higher ride height and more rugged appearance of crossovers. Like many crossovers, the Venga offers similar practical benefits of high seating position and flexible interior, without the fashionable SUV inspired design. It means that there is still a place for traditional MPV designs such as the Venga. Are consumers missing out on some practical, space efficient options in favor of style over substance? Or has the crossover trend usurped the outdated MPV designs and really offered a better balance of style and practicality?
