The Kia Picanto Lease is a compact city car that’s known for its practicality, affordability, and ease of driving. Despite its small size, it packs a lot of features, making it a popular choice for urban driving. The latest generation offers improved styling, more technology, and efficient engines.

Key Specifications:

Engine Options:

  • 1.0-liter MPi (67 bhp):
    • A naturally aspirated petrol engine.
    • Best suited for city driving with a focus on fuel efficiency.
    • 0-60 mph: Around 14 seconds.
    • Fuel Efficiency: Approx. 55-58 mpg.
  • 1.0-liter T-GDi (99 bhp):
    • A turbocharged version offering more power and responsiveness.
    • 0-60 mph: About 9.9 seconds.
    • Fuel Efficiency: Around 50 mpg.
  • Transmission: 5-speed manual or 5-speed AMT (automated manual transmission).

Exterior and Design:

  • Size: The Kia Picanto is a supermini/city car with compact dimensions, making it ideal for tight parking spaces and navigating narrow streets.
  • Styling: The Picanto has a modern and playful design with Kia's signature "Tiger Nose" grille, bold lines, and youthful elements. Higher trims may come with sporty design cues such as a rear spoiler and sportier bumpers.
  • Wheels: Depending on the trim, it may come with 14 to 16-inch alloy wheels.
  • Lighting: Higher trims feature LED daytime running lights and projection headlights.

Interior:

  • Seating: The cabin feels surprisingly spacious for its class. It comfortably seats four adults (or five on shorter journeys) with decent legroom for a city car. Higher trims feature faux-leather upholstery.
  • Infotainment: The Picanto comes with a 7-inch or 8-inch touchscreen in higher trims, offering Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and DAB radio.
  • Storage: With the rear seats up, the boot offers around 255 liters of space, expanding to 1,010 liters with the seats folded down. It’s not huge but adequate for the car’s size.
  • Dashboard: Features a clean layout with intuitive controls, designed for ease of use.

Technology and Features:

  • Infotainment: Available with an 8-inch infotainment system that includes navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity.
  • Driver Assistance: The Picanto comes equipped with a variety of driver assistance systems depending on the trim level:
    • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) – helps detect hazards and can apply the brakes to avoid or reduce a collision.
    • Hill-start Assist Control (HAC).
    • Rear Parking Sensors and camera (available on higher trims).
    • Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) in higher trims.
  • Air Conditioning: Manual air conditioning as standard, with automatic climate control available on higher trims.

  • GT-Line/GT-Line S: These trims offer sporty design elements and higher-spec features, including leather-trimmed seats, sportier bumpers, and larger alloy wheels.

Driving Experience:

  • City Driving: The Kia Picanto excels in city driving due to its small size, light steering, and nimble handling, making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces and congested areas.
  • Motorway Driving: While it's primarily designed for urban environments, the turbocharged 1.0-liter T-GDi engine is more capable on the motorway, providing adequate power for longer journeys, although it can feel slightly strained at higher speeds in the lower-powered version.
  • Ride Comfort: The suspension is tuned to balance comfort and handling, providing a smooth ride for daily commutes and shorter trips. It handles bumps and road imperfections reasonably well for a small car.

Safety:

  • Euro NCAP Rating: The Kia Picanto received a 4-star Euro NCAP safety rating, making it one of the safer cars in the city car category.
  • Safety Features:
    • Multiple airbags (front, side, and curtain).

    • Vehicle Stability Management (VSM).
    • Isofix child seat anchors.

Running Costs:

  • Fuel Economy: Depending on the engine and driving style, the Picanto can achieve 50-58 mpg, making it a fuel-efficient option.
  • Maintenance: Kia offers a 7-year/100,000-mile warranty, which is one of the best in the industry, adding to the car’s affordability over time.
  • Insurance: With low insurance group ratings, the Picanto is an affordable option for younger drivers and those on a budget.

Summary:

The Kia Picanto is a fantastic choice for urban drivers or first-time car buyers looking for an affordable, reliable, and easy-to-drive city car. It’s packed with features, offers good fuel efficiency, and benefits from Kia’s excellent warranty. While it’s not the most powerful car on the market, it excels in its role as a practical and stylish city car, with the GT-Line versions adding a sportier edge for those who want a bit more flair.
