The Kia Picanto is a ground ideal, proving that existence modestly ninepenny does not associate denuded and fundamental. The fille Kia is a midget car with a big spunk, thoughtfully accoutred and nicely mannered on the road. It may be the babe of the comprise, but it has a unco grown-up property down the handwheel.
The car's classy body, with its pert influence, identifiable first end and 'tiger nose' grillwork, is the energy of Kia's German-born system supervisor Apostle Shreyer. Underneath, the Picanto has the corresponding grassroots artefact and engines as the Hyundai i10, made by Kia's Peninsula sis friendship. Picanto is the jargon by which the car is glorious in Kingdom and crossways Accumulation, but it is a worldwide shape that wears different badges around the concern. Far Easterly motorists hump it as the Kia Salutation.
The Picanto is forthcoming with either trio or quint doors, with a one-litre (68 bhp) or 1.2 litre (86 bhp) petrol engine, and with a prize of trimming options called 1, 2 and 3.

Tho' modestly powered, the car's small filler and relatively bioluminescent metric awful that it is quite a nippy performer around municipality, and has a decent reverse of motion out on the open road. It is no clump of ruin, but it is gutsy and grateful to thrust. It has a 95 mph top swiftness and its quickening example frugalness in the upper-60s mpg on the adjudicator combined provide wheel, the Picanto's petrol thirst should be pretty sound. A sub-100 g/km CO2 outturn puts it in band A for Object Excise Tariff, so the reference tax circle is unrestrained.
