Compare the Toyota Aygo X vs Kia Picanto
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you are choosing between these compact city cars, practicality is a clear divider. The Kia Picanto has a bigger boot than the Toyota Aygo X, as well as more room with the back seats folded. The Picanto can also fit four six-foot adults with little fuss and gives rear passengers proper electric windows. By contrast, the Aygo X has tiny rear doors that do not open very wide, pop-out back windows, and very little rear headroom with even less legroom. Inside both cars, you will find cabins full of hard plastics, though panels feel well screwed together in each. Out on the motorway, their manners diverge. The Aygo X feels very stable at high speeds and will not leave you battered around by winds or fast-moving lorries, whereas the Picanto can get bouncy on faster roads and is more susceptible to crosswinds.
