The Pegas sits quite handsomely on the road measuring 4,300mm long. It is one of the largest vehicles in the A/B-class, yet remains compact enough to easily thread through urban traffic. The 475l boot is the largest in the compact sedan class and its capacity can be expanded to load longer, bulkier objects by folding the rear-seat backrest.
Typically, Kia is bold in design, a wide, horizontal ‘face’ gives the Pegas a sporty, solid appearance, and incorporates the brand’s famous ‘tiger nose’ grille, a DNA signature common to all Kia vehicles around the world. Smart chrome highlights and 14-inch alloy wheels on the higher specification imbue the sedan with a decidedly upmarket appearance despite its value-focused positioning.
Comfortable seats, room to stretch and clever design details make the Pegas’ interior an inviting place to be. Taking centre stage on the contemporary dashboard is a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system incorporating a reverse camera with dynamic guidelines, a standard fitment throughout the range. The system also boasts Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It can be controlled handsfree and safely via switches on the steering wheel. Further adding to comfort levels, electrically adjustable side mirrors and windows are included on the entire range.
The new Pegas is powered by the latest incarnation of Kia’s 1.4l multi-point injection petrol engine, producing 69kW at 6,000r/min and maximum torque of 132Nm at 4,000r/min. The engine drives the front wheels and is available with a choice of a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic.
