Kia has unveiled the brand-new Pegas, the revamped iteration of the popular pocket-sized that aims to appease families and first-time buyers. Kia says the new Pegas is designed to\u00a0seamlessly fulfil consumers’ everyday needs while simultaneously creating room for their aspirations.<\/p>\n

Upmarket design meets ultimate practicality<\/h3>\n

Measuring 4,300 mm long, the Pegas is one of the largest vehicles in the A\/B-class, yet remains compact enough to easily thread through urban traffic. Its long (2,570 mm) wheelbase means the Pegas offers ample cabin space for all passengers, front and rear, while its large boot makes it one of the most versatile cars in its class.<\/p>\n

The new Pegas is offered in five exterior colours: Clear White, Titanium Silver, Blue Stream, Marcato Red and Aurora Black Pearl. The 2021 Pegas is bold in design with a wide, horizontal \u2018face\u2019 giving the vehicle a sporty, solid appearance. The new-look also incorporates the brand\u2019s famous \u2018tiger nose\u2019 grille, a DNA signature common to all Kia vehicles around the world. Smart chrome highlights and 14-inch alloy wheels round off the exterior to give the sedan a decidedly upmarket appearance despite its value-focused positioning.<\/p>\n

Inside, comfortable seats, room to stretch and clever design details make the Pegas\u2019 interior an inviting place to be. Taking centre stage on the contemporary dashboard is a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system incorporating a reverse camera with dynamic guidelines, a standard fitment throughout the range (alongside rear park-distance control sensors). 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.<\/p>\n

Depending on the model grade, the Pegas\u2019 interior is trimmed in either smart cloth or highquality artificial leather, and all variants offer cupholders and a central armrest for the driver.<\/p>\n

Further adding to comfort levels, electrically adjustable side mirrors and windows are included on the entire range. The 475-litre boot is the largest in the compact sedan class.<\/p>\n

Efficient, proven engine technology<\/h3>\n

The new Pegas is powered by the latest incarnation of Kia\u2019s 1.4-litre multi-point injection petrol engine, producing 69 kW at 6,000 r\/min and maximum torque of 132 Nm at\u00a04,000 r\/min. The engine drives the front wheels and is available with a choice of a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic.<\/p>\n
