Kia Pegas

1. Safety

Kia Pegasus offers a safe driving experience thanks to its reliance on a range of Advanced Protection Systems. The car relies on an anti-lock braking system that contributes to enhanced control during a sudden stop, along with an electronic brake force distribution system that improves the balance of the car on various roads. The tire pressure monitoring system also contributes to maintaining driving stability by alerting the driver in the event of a malfunction in the air pressure.

In terms of passenger protection, the Pegas comes with two front airbags designed to reduce the impact of shocks in the event of a collision. The use of high-strength steel in the body structure enhances the car's ability to absorb shocks and provide additional protection to the cabin, which is reflected in the overall level of safety it provides to passengers.

2. The cost of buying a car

The Kia Pegasus is available in the UAE market at a starting price of AED 50,000, making it a suitable option for those looking for an economy car. Based on a financing that includes a down payment of 20% of the car's value (i.e. about AED 10,000), with a payment plan that extends to 60 months and an annual interest rate of 1.9%, the approximate monthly installment amount reaches AED 718, which enhances its attractiveness to consumers of various segments.

Pegas maintains a good value in the used car market, as the average resale price after three years is about 65% of the original price. This ratio reflects its ability to retain its value well, which makes it a reliable investment when considering resale later.
