Small outside, surprisingly grown-up inside – the Kia Picanto is designed to make everyday driving simple.
Its compact dimensions make navigating busy streets and tight parking spaces easier, while five doors and a cleverly designed interior give it the practicality you need for everyday life.
Add distinctive Kia styling, modern connectivity and the reassurance of Kia's 7-year warranty and it's easy to see why the Picanto remains such an appealing small car.
Whether you're choosing your first new car, downsizing from something larger or simply want an economical car that's easy to drive, the Picanto deserves a closer look.
At just under 3.6 metres long, the Picanto is particularly easy to manoeuvre around town.
Its compact footprint makes squeezing into smaller parking spaces less stressful, while light controls and excellent visibility help make urban driving straightforward.
But small doesn't mean impractical.
With five doors and seating for up to five, the Picanto can comfortably handle commuting, shopping and everyday family duties.
There's also a useful 255-litre boot, with split-folding rear seats allowing you to increase carrying capacity when you need more room.
The Picanto keeps things refreshingly simple with an efficient petrol engine designed to suit everyday driving.
A 1.0-litre petrol engine provides an ideal combination of efficiency and easy-going performance for urban journeys.
Depending on model, you can choose between a 5-speed manual gearbox or Kia's 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT).
The AMT provides the convenience of driving without a clutch pedal, making it particularly useful for drivers regularly dealing with stop-start traffic.
Picanto may be one of Kia's smallest cars, but that doesn't mean you miss out on modern technology.
Depending on specification, features include:
The touchscreen is positioned conveniently in the centre of the dashboard, keeping navigation, entertainment and smartphone features within easy reach.
Picanto Pure provides everything you need for comfortable everyday driving in an affordable and straightforward package.
Highlights include:
It's an impressive amount of standard equipment for Kia's smallest car.
If you'd like your Picanto with a little more attitude, GT-Line adds sportier styling and extra equipment.
Highlights include:
GT-Line gives the Picanto a noticeably more distinctive road presence while retaining everything that makes it such an easy car to live with.
At the top of the range, GT-Line S combines sporty Picanto styling with the highest level of comfort and technology.
Highlights include:
For drivers who want the compact dimensions of a city car without sacrificing equipment, GT-Line S makes a particularly appealing choice.
For new and younger drivers, the Picanto has plenty going for it.
Its compact dimensions make it easy to get comfortable behind the wheel, while the modest petrol engine and straightforward controls make everyday driving less intimidating.
Parking sensors and a reversing camera on selected models can also provide a little extra reassurance when tackling tight spaces.
And because it's a five-door car, passengers can get into the back without everyone having to perform the traditional small-car front-seat gymnastics!
At the other end of the spectrum, Picanto is also a great choice for drivers who simply don't need a larger car anymore.
You still get five doors, modern infotainment, useful luggage space and plenty of comfort, but in a car that's easier to park and manoeuvre.
For local journeys, shopping and days out, sometimes a smaller car simply makes more sense.
The Picanto includes a useful selection of safety and driver-assistance technology.
Depending on specification, features include:
These systems provide additional support without making what should be a simple little car unnecessarily complicated.
Being small doesn't mean missing out on Kia's biggest reassurance.
Every new Picanto comes with Kia's renowned 7-year/100,000-mile warranty, making it particularly attractive for drivers planning to keep their car for several years.
Easy to drive, easy to park and surprisingly practical, the Kia Picanto proves there's still plenty to love about a proper small car.
With its compact dimensions, five-door practicality, modern technology and choice of Pure, GT-Line and GT-Line S models, it's equally at home as a first car, an everyday runaround or a smart choice for drivers looking to downsize.
