85% about 1150kg with a 1300kg max tow.

Although with 89bhp it may need some stirring of the gears on the hills.

But it is fairly low geared, Top speed 104mph. So maybe fine in 5th gear when towing but 6th may struggle.

Hi Havevanwilltravel. The max kerb weight of the kia venga 1.4 diesel is 1445 kg so working on the 85% rule you can tow a van with a max weight of 1228 kg.
Kia spec states max tow weight of 1300kg.
These figures I have given are straight from the Kia venga spec sheet. Hope this is of some use.
