Take a look at details and pricing for the new Picanto! The Picanto is one of Kia’s best-selling models globally with over million Picanto’s sold since 2011. The new Kia Picanto builds on the success of its predecessor with a new design while the interior has also been enhanced with a fresh design and new technological features. Take a look at what the new Picanto has to offer… What’s changed? Exterior design The new Picanto's dimensions are identical to the outgoing model, but the wheelbase has grown by 15 mm. Designed through a collaboration of Kia’s design centres in Namyang, Korea and Frankfurt, Germany, the new Picanto features a more youthful and energetic’ look. The new Picanto’s wheelbase has increased by 15 mm with the wheels pushed further out to the corners resulting in a 25 mm shorter front overhang. It’s length, width and height remain unchanged. Horizontal lines run across the front of the vehicle, emphasising the tiger-nose’ grille and new angular wrap-around headlights. Vertical lines seen in the lower grille and air intakes give the Picanto a bolder face. Lines running along the side skirts, shoulder and wheel arches add to the Picanto’s new look. The new Picanto has a wide C-pillar and the rear overhang is now 10 mm longer. No fewer than 11 vibrant exterior paint finishes are available with 6 new colours to choose from including Lime Light, Shiny Red, Aurora Black, Pop Orange, Sparkling Silver and Celestial Blue pearlescent metallic finishes. Depending on the derivative, the Picanto rides on either 13 or 14-inch steel wheels with wheel covers or 14 and 15-inch alloy wheels. High-spec derivatives are fitted with new projection headlights with LED indicators and LED daytime running lights. Interior improvements The Picanto's interior design is a vastly improved with higher quality materials and finishes. This latest Picanto features a more modern and refined cabin design, boasting new materials and larger dimensions. High-spec Picanto derivative benefit from a floating’ 7-inch full-colour touchscreen display while the entry-level derivatives feature a TFT LCD audio system. The new 7-inch infotainment system offers Bluetooth and supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for full smartphone integration. A USB and Auxiliary port is also standard. A touchscreen infotainment system is offered on high-spec Picanto derivatives. High-spec derivatives also feature a rear-view parking camera with guidelines, electrically folding heated mirrors and two-tone black and grey leather upholstery. Black cloth seats are fitted as standard on entry-level derivatives. In terms of practicality, the new Picanto offers more leg and headroom for rear passengers while the base of the dashboard has been raised by 15 mm, improving leg and knee room for the front passenger and driver. High-spec derivatives also feature a sliding armrest that can move back and forth by some 55 mm and covers a small storage compartment designed to store a sunglasses case. The base of the centre console has a double-shelf tray to store other items. Two retractable cup holders are also fitted and can be folded away if you don’t need them. A new vanity mirror with LED lights is offered as an option on high specification derivatives. The boot offers increased volume with a stepped floor that increases space or hides items out of sight. The luggage bay has grown by 55 litres, now offering 255 litres of space with a 2-step boot floor which can be raised or lowered by 145 mm to access additional space or to store items out of sight. The rear seats can be folded down in a 6040 configuration, increasing space to 1 010 litres. Ride quality and refinement Hyundai says that ride quality has improved with enhancements made to the front MacPherson strut and rear torsion beam. The front anti-roll bars are 2% stiffer and mounted slightly lower while the rear anti-roll bars are 5% stiffer and mounted slightly higher. The rear torsion beam has newly-designed trailing arms resulting in a weight saving of kg. A new column-mounted, motor-driven steering rack is fitted with 13% improvement in the steering ratio, contributing to enhanced steering response and makes the Picanto easier to drive at low speeds or in the city. Cabin insulation has also been improved to reduce vibration and noise while driving. A new soundproofing panel is fitted beneath the dashboard and in the cabin floor while expandable sound-absorbent foam has been applied to the lower sections of the B and C-pillars. Reshaped air intakes further isolate engine noise from the cabin and the revised engine mounts help reduce engine vibrations. The windscreen wipers have also been lowered by 6 mm to reduce wind noise at the base of the windscreen. Hyundai claims that the new Picanto is the quietest car in its class… Safety ABS is offered on all Picanto derivatives, except the entry-level offerings. A total of 2 airbags for the driver and passenger are fitted and ISOFIX child seat mounts are standard across the range. Engine choice and range Two petrol engines, 2 transmissions and 4 trim lines make up the local Picanto lineup.

► All-new Picanto driven► Tested with three-pot engine► And in biggest-selling 2 spec Zippy, characterful and cheap-to-run, a well-executed city car is one of the pleasures of motoring – and a difficult challenge for car makers to get right. Kia’s all-new Picanto nailed the brief when we drove the GT-Line model earlier in 2017, but how does it fare decked out in the trim and engine combination which the bulk of its customers will actually plump for? Bereft of the GT-Line version’s stylish bodykit and giving away 20bhp to the is this mid-spec model still all the city car you’ll ever need? What’s happened to the angry looks? It’s the aggressive GT-Line bodykit – or lack thereof – on this one-up-from-poverty-spec 2 version. The sports front and rear bumpers are gone, as are the slightly OTT twin exhaust pipes, LED daytime running lamps and 16-inch alloy wheels. Instead, customers are treated to a more Plain Jane exterior lacking much of the GT-Line’s flair. Rarely does a city car’s spec have such an impact on its appearance. How does it drive? Unsurprisingly the Picanto is happiest in an urban environment with its small engines, neat dimensions and turn-on-a-penny manoeuvrability. And yet, it’s far from a one-trick pony. Overall refinement is impressive and manages to put a number of larger cars to shame. There’s a noticeable absence of significant wind noise and the smaller 14-inch alloy wheels supress tyre roar well. The coaster like-rims also have a pleasing effect on the ride quality. Going over a bump or crack in the road produces little drama, with the whole chassis working to minimise cabin intrusion. You don’t have to worry as much about scuffing the wheels on urban kerbs, either, as they’re shielded by high-profile tyres. The five-speed manual gearbox is another highlight, offering up a short and pleasantly precise throw. You certainly need to work it in order to get the best of the engine, but doing so is a surprisingly enjoyable experience. So it’s just as good as the GT-Line? Not quite. While the 66bhp motor is the usual characterful and thrummy three-pot affair, it’s not turbocharged. Torque, therefore, is 90 vs 71lb ft in the four cylinder’s favour and when you’re pulling around just a thousand kilos of Kia, that extra oomph makes a difference. Make no mistake, it’s plenty capable in and around the city but venture elsewhere and you’ll start to wish you’d gone with the You need to actively plan ahead for upcoming hills, while motorway ventures are best kept sporadic if you want to keep the engine in its comfort zone. The character of the doesn’t quite suite that of the Picanto either. While the will rev-out in a smooth and linear fashion right to a heady 7000rpm red line, the three-pot is more reluctant, preferring instead to reach its 5500 rpm peak and then politely ask for a gearchange. It’s at odds with the rest of a car intent on squeezing every last bit out of its components. That carries over to the handling, too. We drove both the and cars over a selection of twisty country roads and can report that the latter is noticeably more fun. Odd, since Kia insists the chassis and suspension setup is identical. The steering is weightier and more positive, something which we can only put down to the larger 16-inch wheels of our test car and the slightly heavier engine’s extra weight over the nose. What’s the equipment list like on 2 spec cars? Most of the important stuff is on there, including air-con, all-round electric windows and an FM/AM radio, and goodies such as Bluetooth, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and a glossy centre fascia make it feel a touch more upmarket. Also encouraging is the presence of dinky 14-inch alloy wheels. They don’t sound like much, but you’d usually be restricted to steelies with hubcaps on rims of this size. As with most Kias, there’s not much in the way of options save for a broad selection of metallic paint and interior colour packs. One option you may want to spec, however, is the Advanced Driving Assistance Pack ADAP at £350. Adding autonomous emergency braking, it comes as standard on 3, GT-Line and GT-Line S models. Verdict The Kia Picanto has all the makings of an excellent city car. It’s small, nimble, cheap to run and punches well above its weight for refinement and standard equipment on higher-trim cars. The three-cylinder engine is perfectly fine for trundling around the city, but if you plan on doing much in the way of motorway driving we’d opt for the It suits the car’s energetic character and shouldn’t cost much more to run, offering up quoted fuel economy of to the That said, it may be worth waiting a little longer for the 99bhp turbocharged version of the three-cylinder motor, due at the end of 2017. Keep an eye out for CAR’s first drive in the coming months.
The Kia Picanto is the baby of the Kia family, sitting under the recently launched Rio in terms of both cost and size. That's not to say the third-generation Picanto doesn't offer brains in that small body though. Our quick take The new Kia Picanto offers a sportier and more serious design than its predecessor, but it also delivers on the technology front. It might not come in the plethora of colours and customisation options as per the Fiat 500, but it offers plenty of power, plenty of tech and plenty of safety features, such as Autonomous Emergency Braking. Kia's infotainment system is very easy to use and navigate, too, making Apple CarPlay and Android Auto setup a breeze on the higher trim levels, while the various extras - such as the wireless charging pad on the GT-Line S - make it a city car that's looking well into the future. Having the range of safety features as standard on even the lower trims is great too. If your budget allows, we'd suggest the Picanto 3 model or the GT-Line S model in order to get the connectivity and Autonomous Emergency Braking as standard, but the Picanto 2 was good fun to drive, too, so you don't necessarily need to splash all the cash on this new baby Kia to get a small, sporty and savvy purchase. Kia Picanto 2017 - / 5 FORAGAINST Nice sporty design good handling comfortable responsive infotainment system great Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity good price lots of safety features as standard Interior a little plasticky no customisation options for interior or exterior like competitors GT-Line or GT-Line S offer more exciting interior than other trims The latest model of the South Korean company's city car features support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as numerous safety features and advanced driver assistant functions, making it the most technologically advanced Picanto yet. So how does the little car perform and can it win city lovers' hearts? Kia Picanto 2017 review Design The second-generation Kia Picanto was cute and cheeky but the new Picanto goes for an angrier, sportier look. Like the new Rio, Kia has redesigned the 2017 Picanto with sharper angles and straighter lines, resulting in an overall more serious stance than its predecessor. The new Picanto offers exactly the same footprint as the second-generation model - it's 3,595mm long and 1,595mm wide - but Kia has changed the overhangs the front one is now shorter for that sportier look, while the rear one is longer in order to create 255-litres of luggage space compared to the 200-litres of the previous model. Pocket-lint There are wider grilles and air intakes on the front of the new Picanto too, plus a bolder bumper on both the front and rear. The silver or chrome which is dependent on trim signature tiger nose grille is present but it is wider and slimmer than before, leading into the headlights and further emphasising the sportier look. Fog lights are either positioned in separate side grilles or within the main lower grille - it's all dependent on the trim choice and if such panels exist as a result - while air curtains in the side grilles channel air away from the more defined wheel arches that house either 14-inch, 15-inch or 16-inch wheels again, trim dependent. On the rear, the C-shaped rear light clusters are similar to the previous Picanto but they are larger on the new model and more detailed, while the rear roof pillar is more upright in order to deliver greater cabin space it's 5mm taller than the outgoing model. Pocket-lint The new Kia Picanto is only available with five doors, like the Kia Rio, with the rear door handles being the same as the front ones, rather than integrated like the Nissan Micra 2017, for example. It comes in five trims in the UK, which fall under 1, 2, 3, GT-Line pictured in white and GT-Line S pictured in red. The two GT models have larger front and rear sport bumpers, twin exhaust tailpipes, plus red accents in various places such as along the side sills and within the upper grille. Ultimately, all the new Picanto models look good - but the GT-Line and GT-Line S are our favourites for the couple of extra design details that bring the new Kia baby to life. They certainly move away from the cuteness other city cars offer, like the Fiat 500 and the Smart ForTwo Cabrio, making the Picanto stand out as a sportier and more serious car. Kia Rio 2017 review All about connectivity Kia Picanto 2017 review Interior and infotainment Inside the new Kia Picanto, things follow in the same footsteps as the 2017 Kia Rio. The structured dashboard features a satin chrome trim strip to separate controls and display, while vertical ventilation grilles at each end emphasise the width of the quiet, comfortable and spacious cabin. The finish is a little plasticky, just like the Rio, though the GT-Line and GT-Line S have some additions to their interiors that make them pop a little more. Pocket-lint Seat upholstery is trim dependent, with either black cloth, premium black cloth or black and red faux leather present. The faux leather comes on the GT-Line and GT-Line S, along with additions such as a high-gloss black centre fascia trim, satin chrome interior door handles and stainless steel pedals, all contributing to a more premium inside finish than the standard trims. There are electric front windows on all models, as well as remote locking and a radio with USB ports. The Grade 2 models add Bluetooth with music streaming, four speakers compared to two, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear lever, among a couple of other extras. The Grade 3 models offer further additions including Bluetooth with voice recognition, a six-speaker system and a 7-inch "floating" touchscreen with TomTom navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The GT-Line S also features this 7-inch touchscreen, which is brilliantly responsive and simple to use, as well as a wireless phone charger, an electric sunroof and heated front seats, making this model the one to opt for if you want the all the tech. As Kia doesn't offer "options" as such, you can't add the 7-inch touchscreen and all its connectivity or the wireless charger to a Picanto "1", for example, meaning for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you'll need to choose the Picanto 3 priced at £12,650 or the GT-Line S priced at £13,950. Pocket-lint Beneath the touchscreen are the temperature controls, a shelf for your smartphone or anything else reasonably small, and cup holders. There are also further control buttons in front of the gear stick, though these are dummy buttons on the trims that don't have heated seats, as well as on the steering wheel itself and on the driver's door. There's a secondary screen on the driver's display, but as with the Rio, this is a settings menu rather than a useful second display. Android Auto explored Taking Google on the road Kia Picanto 2017 review Experience The new Kia Picanto is available in nine options in the UK at launch, with two engines, two transmissions and those five aforementioned trims. The petrol is available with 66bhp and five-speed manual in the Picanto 1, 2 and GT-Line; the petrol engine with 83bhp is available with five-speed manual or four-speed auto on the Picanto 2 and 3, or five-speed manual in the GT-Line S; there will also be a T-GDi engine available before the end of the year. Pocket-lint We test drove the Picanto 2, GT-Line, as well as the GT-Line S. The first of which accelerates from 0-60mph in and offers emissions of 101 CO2/km, while the other two engines accelerate from 0-60mph in and offer emissions of 106 CO2/km. All three models were a pleasure to drive, offering plenty of power when it came to steep hills and increasing speed quickly on faster routes, despite not having the sportiest off-the-mark stats. Even when adding to the power, the cabin remained quiet throughout. There was a little more power from the engine, but we didn't feel like the was lacking like its figure might suggest. Both options handled and cornered very well, inspiring confidence on winding Italian roads and delivering a sturdy and stable driving experience with good visibility. Pocket-lint The suspension was firm, especially in the case of the GT-Line models, helping us feel connected with the road, while steering was light and responsive, and braking was sharp too. The Picanto 2 model had its fair share of not-so-brilliant roads on our specific test drive, one of which had plenty of bumps and pot holes to contend with, but it performed without any issues - certainly better and more comfortable than what our Fiat 500 would manage. As with the Kia Rio, there is plenty of extra safety technology on board the new Picanto, with Electronic Stability Control ESC, Vehicle Stability Management and Hill-Start Assist Control coming as standard on all trim levels. Autonomous Emergency Braking comes as standard on the Picanto 3, GT-Line and GT-Line S, or as a £350 option on the Picanto 1 and 2. This feature will bring the car to a complete stop at speeds of up to 50mph, or to a partial stop when travelling at speeds over 50mph without driver intervention. A sheep ran across the road in front of us while in the GT-Line model, kicking the Autonomous Emergency Braking feature into action - so clearly it works well. The sheep, car and ourselves survived without a scratch. Pocket-lint The new Picanto also has Torque Vectoring on all models, which uses the anti-lock brake and ESC sensors to detect if the car is drifting, gently applying the brakes on the inside or outside of the rear wheels respectively. This feature was great when it came to the tight bends, working perfectly and reassuring us when the corners were sharper than we first expected. To recap The new Kia Picanto offers a sportier and more serious design than its predecessor, but it also delivers on the technology front. It might not come in the plethora of colours and customisation options as the likes of the Fiat 500, but it offers plenty of power, plenty of tech and plenty of safety features.
