Practicality

The Magentis is a bargain priced vehicle. It is inexpensive to purchase, especially for a car this size. The car comes with a high level of specification and low running costs. The diesel alternative will make the car even more economical to run, and the only downside being the car’s resale value is likely to be low.

The Kia Magentis cabin is very spacious. Both front and rear passengers should be quite comfortable with plenty of head and legroom available. Taller passengers may be slightly less comfortable in the back due to the slanted roof and slightly less headroom.

The Kia Magentis controls and dials are large for the air conditioning, and the buttons on the stereo are clearly marked as well. Convenient steering wheel controls also allow easy driver adjustments. The Magentis uses white and blue illumination providing a clear display as well as looking more attractive.

The Magentis is an extremely comfortable car. The seats are supportive and the car provides an overall smooth ride. There shouldn’t be any major complaints concerning the comfort level of the Magentis. Cabin space is excellent and even rear passengers should be comfortable.

Accessibility to the Magentis is very good. The car’s long wheelbase, large doors and generous interior room make accessing the cabin quite easy. The boot lid provides a wide aperture for easy loading.

Parking the Magentis is a breeze. Light steering and good all around visibility make the car easy to park even without the optional parking sensors. The car’s large side mirrors help and make the car easy to park even in tight places.

Life Style

The Kia Magentis 2.0-litre diesel engine provides good performance. Good torque will provide decent acceleration through the gears, although this is tarnished by an inconsistent clutch action. The Magentis is geared towards comfort, and the soft suspension absorbs bumps well.

The Magentis would make an excellent family vehicle. It has a great asking price and a high standard level of equipment. Cabin space is more than adequate and boot space is decent. Boot space may not be adequate to accommodate some family items.

The Kia Magentis is a large car for novice drivers, but it could make a decent first car. It has a good asking price and boasts good fuel economy. The Magentis is also super easy to drive. So technically it could be a good first car.

The Magentis demonstrates Kia’s recent progress in developing better quality cars. The car is attractive and looks quality built. The car’s interior lacks the same quality feel that its exterior holds. For many buyers the attractive asking price will outweigh the quality of the cabin materials.
