Big personality, small footprint

The Kia Picanto proves that small can be mighty. With sharp looks, a confident stance and the kind of tech you’d expect in larger cars, this city-ready hatchback turns heads while handling tight spaces with ease. Choose between manual or automated manual transmission for smooth, efficient performance. Inside, enjoy modern convenience, thoughtful practicality and the reassurance of Kia’s seven-year warranty.



The Kia Picanto - Street-smart style and substance

From its striking LED light bar to its refreshed rear profile, the Picanto’s new design is sharper and more expressive than ever. Inside, you’ll find a modern digital cockpit with an eight-inch touchscreen and a 4.2-inch driver display. Safety tech like Forward Collision-avoidance Assist and Lane-follow Assist 1.0 offer peace of mind. Add Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and USB-C charging, and the Picanto becomes the ultimate small car for everyday use.

On the road, the Kia Picanto stands out as one of the most agile city cars in its class. Its compact dimensions make it easy to maneuver through narrow streets, while light steering and a tight turning circle mean parking is never a hassle. The latest engines deliver a balance of efficiency and everyday usability, keeping running costs low without compromising too much on performance. For those seeking a practical yet stylish compact hatchback, the Picanto feels perfectly at home in busy urban environments.

Practicality is another strong point in this Kia Picanto review. Despite its small footprint, the interior is cleverly designed to maximize passenger comfort and storage space. The rear seats fold flat to expand the boot, giving you flexibility for everything from grocery runs to weekend bags. Combined with modern safety features, infotainment tech, and Kia’s renowned reliability, the Picanto is more than just an entry-level hatchback—it’s a smart, long-term choice for drivers who want value, efficiency, and a touch of street-smart style.
