Kia Magentis Saloon

The new Magentis is solidly put together, inoffensively styled and offers excellent rear legroom. But Kia still has some work to do. Dynamics are outdated, it's expensive and lacks personality.

Rating:
On the road price: £17,295
For: Smooth engines, refinement at speed, generous equipment, great rear legroom, load space
Against: Price, flawed dynamics, uninspiring cabin styling, vague steering, cramped driving position

KEY:

Better than class average

Worse than class average

Equal to class average
