Picanto Overview

The Kia Picanto - always big on the important things

The new generation Kia Picanto is a big leap forward. It might be small, but it’s big on features and show-stopping good looks. Compact dimensions combine perfectly with an oversized sense of fun, space and comfort. Always reliable, always surprisingly spacious, the stylish new Picanto is a match for anyone who dreams big.

Effortless agility.

The Picanto offers quick, responsive acceleration and enviable fuel economy. It’s powered by an innovative engine perfected through decades of world-class engineering. Day in and day out, it’s tuned to handle the bumps and tight corners of city driving, as well as the smooth surface of open highways.

Interior & Technology

Seamless Connectivity

State-of-the-art Tech

The new, ultra-modern interior adds a touch of sophistication, with streamlined central controls for intuitive use. The Picanto also features wireless charging, a digital key, and mobile-connected audio, all enhanced by a larger, clearer 4.2” colour LCD display.

Bluetooth Handsfree

Easily connect your mobile devices using the built-in Bluetooth® system, giving you quick and seamless access to your favourite music, podcasts, and hands-free calling. It's perfect for staying connected and productive on days when you're working from the car.

Rear-seat USB Charger

Positioned just below the rear air vents, a USB-C port provides easy and convenient access for back-seat passengers to charge their compatible electronic devices. It’s a handy feature that helps keep everyone connected and entertained, making journeys with friends and family more enjoyable.

Touchscreen & Audio

Control and customize your audio settings on a bright 8” floating colour LCD touchscreen, which also shows images from the rearview camera. The large screen makes it simple to navigate while driving, and you can even personalize the display layout to suit your preferences.

Safety Features

Always safe.
Always forward.

Rear Occupant Alert (ROA)

The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) safety feature warns you of any rear occupants still in the vehicle when you stop and prepare to exit. This feature is particularly beneficial in preventing situations where children or pets might be inadvertently left behind.

Parking Distance Warning (PDW)

To help you park confidently and without trouble in your Kia Picanto, the Parking Distance Warning (PDW) uses ultrasonic sensors mounted on the rear bumpers to warn of any obstacles, helping you to position the wheels properly when maneuvering into tight spaces.

Move with Space

Big on Comfort

Every day, the new Kia Picanto reveals new possibilities. One day it’s all about your passengers. Another day, you’re moving cargo, or a mix of people and cargo. The Kia Picanto is designed to handle the unexpected with calmness and finesse.

Always forward with endless possibilities.

Room for everyone

The Picanto makes the most of its interior space, offering generous legroom front and rear, along with firm, supportive seats that let everyone stretch out and relax.

Centre console armrest

The floor-mounted centre console adds practical storage within easy reach, while the cushioned armrest on top delivers reliable comfort and support on longer journeys.

Passenger-side seatback pocket

The seatback pocket behind the front passenger seat offers a convenient spot to store small items, keeping the cabin tidy and essentials within easy reach.

Dual-level luggage board

The dual-level luggage board sits flush with the folded rear seatbacks, creating a flat load surface while revealing a hidden compartment below, perfect for securing valuables.

60:40 split folding rear seats

The 60:40 split-folding rear seatbacks fold flat to expand your cargo options. Whether you’re carrying passengers, luggage, or a mix of both, the Picanto easily adapts.
