About the Kia Picanto
The pint-sized Kia Picanto is the biggest fish in the small microcar segment of the Australian car market.
First revealed at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show, the South Korean city car was originally based on a shortened Hyundai Getz platform.
The current, third-generation Kia Picanto arrived locally in 2017, and currently runs from a base Picanto S manual up to the flagship Kia Picanto GT.
Kia Picanto S and GT-Line models are powered by a 1.2-litre four-cylinder producing 62kW/122Nm and paired with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto. The GT nets a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder producing 74kW/172Nm matched to a five-speed manual.
The Kia Picanto is covered by Kia’s seven-year/unlimited-km warranty (which is also transferable), with capped price servicing, up to seven years, and roadside assistance, up to eight years, also available.
