New Magentis here



Kia Motors Ireland have launched the new-generation Magentis with prices starting at €25,795 for the 2.0 petrol LX model, while the diesel models start at €28,495.

The 140bhp 2 litre CRDi diesel engine also used in Sportage has been slightly modified for Magentis. The fuel consumption is 6 litres/100km on the combined cycle.

Customers can choose from two equipment levels (LX and EX) and have the option of manual or automatic transmissions on the diesel model.
