Kia Venga vs Peugeot 2008

Two small SUVs, compared on the same official records: MOT and inspection results, safety ratings, fuel use, recalls and owner complaints. 3 like-for-like measures: the Kia Venga leads on 1, the Peugeot 2008 on 2.

Where each one leads

Kia Venga

  • Against cars of the same age, the Kia Venga comes out better at its first MOT test (passes as often as average) than the Peugeot 2008 (passes 6% less often than average).

Peugeot 2008

  • Fewer Peugeot 2008 cars in the Netherlands carry an illogical odometer record (1.7% against 2.1%).
  • New Peugeot 2008 cars registered in Europe in 2022 average 103 g/km of CO₂ on the WLTP test, against 172 for the Kia Venga in 2020.

Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
