The new Kia Pegas will be launched on the Chinese car
market in August. Price will range from 80.000 to 120.000 yuan. The Kia Pegas
is a China-only A-class sedan aimed at young first-car buyers. The Pegas will
be the cheapest sedan in Kia’s China lineup.
The Pegas will compete with cars like the Citroen
Elysee and the Volkswagen Jetta. This kind of small sedans are especially
popular in second and third tier cities.
Power will come from a 1.4 liter four cylinder
petrol engine with an output of 95 Hp and 133 Nm. It will be mated to a
five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic, sending horses to the front
wheels. Dimension size is 4300/1710/1460 mm, and wheelbase is 2570 mm.
The interior is funky with panels in body color,
sporty seats and an 8-inch touch screen between the vents.
Subtle spoiler integrated in the boot lid and the
lights are fashionably small. Not a bad looking car for the segment. The Pegas
will be manufactured by the Dongfeng-Yueda-Kia joint venture.
