Kia Picanto Prices and Specifications

The Picanto 1 is the cheapest model in the range – easily spotted by its plastic wheel trims. Inside, you get electric front windows, remote central locking, a two-speaker stereo and automatic headlights, but air-conditioning is something you’ll have to do without.

The Picanto 2 looks smarter than the basic model thanks to its 14-inch alloy wheels, body coloured wing mirrors and chrome trimmed radiator grille. Equipment levels are pretty good – you get air-conditioning, electric windows all round, a steering wheel and gearknob that are leather trimmed and Bluetooth music streaming via the four-speaker stereo.

GT Line models are the pick of the bunch thanks to their smart looks and generous levels of equipment. Sporty bumpers, a twin exhaust pipe and 16-inch alloy wheels give the Picanto a pocket rocket appearance, although performance doesn’t live up to that. Kit is based on the 2 model so includes front and rear electric windows, a four-speaker stereo with Bluetooth music stream and air conditioning. On top of that you get heated door mirrors, faux (fake) leather upholstery and electrically adjustable door mirrors.

X-Line models come with 16-inch alloy wheels, black body cladding and contrasting silver bumper trims designed to look like skid plates on hard-core off-roaders. Inside you get a leather-trimmed steering wheel, metal pedal trims and a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring. Rear parking sensors also come as standard.

Picanto 3 models get the kind of kit you might expect in an executive saloon. That includes a seven-inch touchscreen sat-nav system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cruise control, automatic emergency braking, a reversing camera, rear parking sensors, a front centre armrest and fog lights.

The Kia Picanto X-Line S comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, chunky front and rear bumpers and LED daytime running lights. Inside, you get heated faux-leather front seats, metal pedal trims and a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with DAB digital radio, smartphone mirroring for Apple and Android phones and built-in sat nav. You also get a wireless charging pad for your phone, rear parking sensors and autonomous emergency braking as standard.

GT Line S models get the same sporty looks as GT Line versions thanks to revised bumpers, a twin exhaust pipe and 16-inch alloy wheels. Kit levels are very impressive for a car of this size and include climate control, sat-nav with a seven-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, faux (fake) leather upholstery, cruise control, electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors, and a reversing camera.
