The Kia Pegas has landed in South Africa. Here are the latest specs and pricing for the pocket-friendly sedan.
The Kia Pegas measures 4 300 m in length and the Korean car maker reckons its new offering ticks the box for class-leading practicality, while its 2 5700 mm wheelbase and large boot of 475 litres give it great cabin space and practicality.
Interestingly, the Kia compact sedan is assembled at the brand’s facility in China. It features your standard Kia design elements like the tiger nose and there are some upmarket touches like 14-inch alloy wheels and splashings of chrome on the top-spec model.
It’s impressive to see Kia taking on the sedan market when its current campaigns all revolve around its SUV family like the Sonet and the Seltos, both of which have proven popular.
Inside, the Pegas features what the brand calls comfortable seats, trimmed in either cloth or artificial depending on the trim level. All versions feature niceties like cupholders, a central armrest, electrically adjustable side mirrors and electric windows.
Under the bonnet is Kia’s 1.4-litre petrol engine which produces 69 kW and 132 Nm. The vehicle is front-wheel driven and there’s a choice of either a 5-speed manual gearbox or 4-speed automatic.
