Keep reading to learn 10 facts about the Kia Picanto to help you make an informed decision as you browse second-hand cars online.


The Cheapest


Low prices are a good thing, and the Picanto is one of the cheapest compact hatches on the market. Starting from R202 995 new, you can find the ideal variant to meet your budget.


Variety


There are currently 13 variants available in the Kia Picanto line. They range between 1.0L and 1.2L engines.


Speed Options


Depending on the variant, there are options for manual and automatic transmission gearboxes. Additionally, these are available at 4-speed and 5-speed.


Performs Reasonably


South Korean car manufacturer Kia builds cars for the everyday driver. Their key focus is not on high speeds and performance but on reliable engines that move when you need them. On average, between the 1.0L and 1.2L engine, you can expect top speeds of 170 km/h ‒ more than enough for city driving.


Practical Features


The helpful trip computer is a standout feature that can assist the driver on short and long drives. There is also AUX/USB functionality and, most importantly, rear-folding seats.


Economical


Fuel consumption has never mattered more than it does today, and the Picanto meets all your expectations in this area. You can drive without breaking the bank with an average 5.0L/100km fuel economy rate across the range.


Stay Safe


In compact hatchbacks, safety features can occasionally be overlooked by segment competitors. Kia addresses this with the Picanto by making ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System), tilt steering and their ISOFIX child mount points standard across the line.


Extras


On higher-specced variants, you have extras such as the rear park distance control, electric folding mirrors and side mirror indicators.


Tailored To You


Many assume that with lower-priced cars, the design goes out the window. But not with Kia! They give consumers a choice of 10 vibrant and eye-catching colours to complement their unique sporty exteriors and finishes.


Space


A common misconception is that the Picanto needs to be bigger for full occupancy. But adults can sit comfortably inside without feeling cramped or out of space.


There is more to the Kia Picanto for sale than just its price tag and size. It gives consumers real value at a fraction of the price of its competitors. Browse through the wide range of inventory available from Motus Select.
