Kia Picanto was redesigned to better integrate with the brand's visual language. The front section has been completely renovated and in this version (GT Line, top) it features red trim, which extends to the side and rear skirts. The cabin also underwent an upgrade, with emphasis on the touch screen, leather seats (heated) and new climate control system.
When it comes to dimensions, Kia Picanto maintains the same as its predecessor. The biggest difference lies in the 15 mm more wheelbase, now being 2.40 m. Kia announces more space for the rear occupants and luggage capacity, which goes from 200 to 255 liters.
As for the engines, they carry over from the previous generation: the 1.0 liter three-cylinder with 66 hp and the 1.2 liter four-cylinder with 85 hp. The novelty is the appearance of a turbo version of the 1.0 with 100 hp of power . Its arrival on the national market is scheduled for next April.
