The Kia Pegas made its debut at the 2017 Auto Shanghai. Based on the PB platform used in the Kia K2 and targeted at young buyers, the Pegas stands on a 2,570 mm (101.2 in) wheelbase and has a trunk capacity of 475 liters. Powering the car is a 1.4 liter Kappa MPI I4 engine that generates 94 horsepower and 95 lb-ft torque to the front wheels.[4][5][6]
The Kia Pegas/Soluto did not receive a facelift and end of production schedule.[7]
The Kia Pegas/Soluto was heavily inspired by third-generation Kia Picanto bumper and fourth-generation Kia Rio-shaped headlights.
The Pegas went on sale in August 2017 in China[8] and in late 2018 in Egypt.[9] It debuted in the Philippines on 30 January 2019 as the Kia Soluto, coinciding with Kia Motors Philippines' relaunch under Ayala Corporation ownership.[10][11][12][13][14] The Soluto was released in Vietnam in September 2019.[15] The Pegas/Soluto is also available in right-hand drive, which was released in Brunei on 18 September 2020 as the Soluto[16] and in South Africa on 14 June 2021 as the Pegas.[17]
