About the Kia Picanto (2024)

Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.

The Picanto is an A-segment city car with a conventional petrol drivetrain, closely related to the Hyundai i10. The 2024 facelift revised the front and the infotainment. The entry engine is a 1.0 three-cylinder around 63 hp; there is also a stronger 1.2. WLTP consumption stands at about 5.5 l/100km for the base engine (manufacturer figure, not measured by us).

In practice

The boot is 255 l, comparable with the i10 and cramped but usable for city use. The car has five seats; the rear bench is suited to shorter trips. Owners report real-world consumption in mixed use that is 0.3 to 0.9 l above WLTP, depending on the motorway share (public forums, not measured by us). The indicative list price rose from about 17,995 euro (peildatum early 2024) to 18,995 euro now, a from-price, no offer and no forecast.

Points to note

The Picanto is not permitted for towing a trailer; count on 0 kg braked towing weight. On the motorway the small engine works hard, with more consumption and noise as a result. For those who mainly drive city that is less relevant; compare the consumption profile against your fixed route, also against the closely related i10.
