Kia is expanding its local offering with the launch of the new Pegas that, according to Kia offers value-seeking families and first-time buyers the perfect combination of technology and space.
The new Kia Pegas is offered in two trim levels; LX and EX. It is 4 300 mm long and boasts a wheelbase that measures 2 570 mm. It comes in five exterior colours: Clear White, Titanium Silver, Blue Stream, Marcato Red and Aurora Black Pearl.
On the outside, the new Kia Pegas is fitted with the brand’s famous ‘tiger nose’ grille plus smart chrome highlights and 14-inch alloy wheels.
The interior is bolstered with 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 hands-free and safely via switches on the steering wheel.
