"The Kia Picanto is a stylish, well equipped, inexpensive and easy to drive city car, which should be reliable and cheap operation."
The Kia Picanto in competing, what is considered the city-car class has become known, combines his competitor's low operating costs and a spacious interior in a package that is to be used in the city and manageable easy. It also steals a march on the competition by coming with a seven-year warranty.
His main rival is our favorite city car, the i10 Hyundai. The Picanto offers more space inside than the offer Hyundai, but in other respects falls short and ends something like the Skoda Citigo Rear, SEAT Mii and Volkswagen up! as an overall package. These three provide better design, performance and quality. further three cars share a basic design - Buyers should consider looking on the Peugeot 108, Citroen C1 and Toyota Aygo. There is to consider the characterful Renault Twingo.
The Picanto much has going for it, albeit with a choice of 1.0 and 1.25-liter petrol engines, the least powerful of which can achieve 67mpg. However, the economy comes at the expense of performance, with 0-62mph taking a sluggish 14.1 seconds.

there is a more powerful version of the 1, 0-liter engine, but it is not very lively, so we recommend the 1.25-liter, makes life much easier in high-speed traffic. There is not much worse than the smaller engine also able numbers economy to achieve partly because it does not have to work so hard.
Although small and easy to handle, the Picanto is the driving pleasure not offer some of our competitors. During its soft suspension set for a smooth ride on the urban surface makes mistakes, there is little the car pitching and leaning into the corners to prevent. The Kia is easy to drive and has a very safe driving behavior, but little can put a smile on the face such as the VW group to put rivals.
The Kia Picanto is best sold out from the inside. Passenger space is a strong point, with a choice of three or five doors allow easy access to a spacious interior with room for five adults. The boot is actually the smallest in its class, although it is well formed.

We can not recommend the cheapest Picanto as you. with the slow 1.0-liter gasoline engine and not a lot of standard equipment, apart from a height-adjustable driver's seat, electric front windows saddles and a 60:40 split folding rear seat
a lot more comfortable with the car Picanto 2, with the added attraction of the automatic air conditioning and heated mirrors and niceties to live as alloy wheels and body-colored exterior details. It also has electric windows in the back, as well as Bluetooth phone connectivity. Best of all, this model allows you to specify more powerful and more beautiful 1.25-liter engine.
The Kia Picanto is well built and reliable, even though it only managed 122 in total in our 2016 driver power to terminate owner satisfaction survey. Kia as a brand was the performance of 14, offered to be a factor, they let you down by his car. Euro NCAP independent crash tests gave the Picanto a four-star review of a possible five -. All models are equipped with an electronic stability control, hill start assist, ABS and ISOFIX child seat attachments
All in all, and considering taking the peace of mind that comes with its seven-year warranty, the Kia Picanto is a good choice, if fun and style are not a high priority compared to soothe and ease of ownership.
