Last time a car had “No” in it’s title – it was the Chevy Nova – which in Spanish loosely translates to “No Go.” Nova was not a very successful sell South of the Border. Let’s hope Kia’s No 3 (as in Number) will do better. Kia’s concept, which will debut at the Geneva Auto Show, came out of Kia’s European design studio, featuring a panorama glass roof, which is very popular these days. There are diagonal support bar that starts at the A pillar on the passenger side and connects to the B pillar on the driver’s side.

The Korean Auto Maker is hoping to grow in popularity throughout North America. Vehicles like Sorento and Rio are already good sellers for Kia in the States, thanks to their fuel efficient engines and cost effective price tags. The No 3 Concept may show how Kia can break away with a design that is all their own. Check out more details in Kia’s official Press Release below.

Dating designer ng VW Audi ang designer ng KIA ngayon (Schreyer).

Kia's No.3 Concept now has an official name: Kia Venga

Length: 2068mm; Width: 1760; Height: 1600mm; Wheelbase: 2615mm.

Whoa, the dimensions are quite similar to the Hyundai Matrix/La Vita. Could the Kia Venga finally be the La Vita/Matrix's successor?







In my opinion, they should have had kept the concept design's grille instead of the production model's. I dunno, but I find the production model's grille kinda bland.

Different angles, but they give an idea as to how the Venga's size stacks up against other lines. Size comparo with a Stavic and a sedan:
