While Kia is obviously keeping mum on most of the details about its new Picanto hatchback, which will make its premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in March, a couple of new photos of the A-segment hatch – including one of the interior – as well as a few more details, have come about.
As mentioned previously, three versions of the 1.0 litre, three-cylinder Kappa engine, in gasoline, flex fuel and bi-fuel form and a single 1.2 litre four-cylinder gasoline Kappa block will be available for the car, and power outputs will range from 69 hp to 85 hp, with maximum torque between 94 and 121 Nm.

The bi-fuel 1.0 litre pot will generate 80 hp and 94 Nm of torque. The engines will be mated to a choice of five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmissions, depending on market.
The new car, which is longer and larger than the previous model, promises not only more passenger comfort and 27% increased cargo space, but will also feature numerous ‘large car’ comfort/safety features such as LED daytime running lights, button-start with smart key, grip-type outside door handles and six or seven airbags, depending on region.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the Kia Picanto focus mainly on its attractive and sporty design, with comparisons to Toyota IQ, Proton Myvi, and other compact cars. Many appreciate its modern, sleek exterior look, and interior features like good plastic quality and safety with multiple airbags. Some criticize the design for looking like copy-paste from other models, but overall, positive sentiment about its features and appearance. There are questions about the price, availability, and whether it will come to Malaysia, with some hoping for manual transmission. A few comments also mention maintenance costs and resale value concerns, but most are optimistic about Kia’s rising brand image and the car’s competitive appeal in the small car segment.
