Kia Picanto in Dunstable Bedfordshire, Bicester Oxfordshire

Meet the new Kia Picanto. It might be small but the Picanto is big on features, with a reversing camera, cruise control and keyless entry available as standard. This is the first Kia to be offered with Kia’s automated manual transmission (which engages the clutch for you) and models equipped with the 8” touchscreen come with UVO CONNECT telematics, so you can keep tabs on your Picanto with real-time information. 1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, X-Line, X-Line S, GT-Line and GT-Line S trim levels are available. X-Line models have sportier styling and faux leather upholstery while GT-Line models have even sportier styling with red accents. ‘S’ variants of these trims get keyless entry and start, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and wireless charging. You also get a choice of efficient petrol engines, including a sporty 1.0 T-GDi with 100 PS.

Kia Picanto awarded Most User-Friendly Tech by experts from Carbuyer and Alphr

The Kia Picanto has picked up the accolade for Most User-Friendly Tech at the Car Tech Awards 2017. The Car Tech Awards are judged by a panel of experts from Carbuyer and Alphr, who test the best new car technology launched over the past 12 months. Advances in technology have been a defining characteristic of new cars in recent years and have become a key feature on car buyers ‘must-have’ list.

We are delighted the Picanto’s easy to use technology has been recognised and received such high praise from the judges. Now in its third-generation, the new Kia Picanto brings a more youthful and energetic character to the A-segment.

Kia Connected Services

The Picanto is the first small Kia to feature a Kia Connected Services package powered by TomTom™ and features Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™ smartphone integration as standard with a 7" Touchscreen available in the grade ‘3’ and ‘GT-Line S’ models. Android Auto™ gives access to Google Maps navigation and Google Play Music, while Apple CarPlay™ links to pre-loaded maps, music, podcasts, texts and messages and audiobooks, all through Siri voice control. Both allow occupants to connect to various apps and functions, including voice-guided, hands-free calls and texts.

Commenting on the Picanto, Carbuyer Editor, Stuart Milne said ‘Proving once and for all, that clever and well-judged technology isn’t the preserve of expensive models, the Kia Picanto is startlingly easy to use. It takes our most user-friendly tech award – our judges were bowled over by the superb responsiveness offered by the colour touchscreen, while we found the organisation and positioning of the menus shames cars costing three times as much.

It has Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility – and all these features are available on the mid-range ‘3’ and ‘GT-Line S’ trims. The fact that the Picanto also has physical buttons for the most frequently used functions sealed the deal.’

Design

X-Line and GT-Line models ride on 16” diamond-cut alloy wheels and have a sportier front end with striking LED daytime running lights. GT-Line and GT-Line S models stand out as the sportiest models with red exterior colour accents.

Drive

The Picanto has sharp handling, strong performance and a refined ride. It’s packed with useful driving aids, like a reversing camera and cruise control in ‘3’ models upwards and rear parking sensors in X-Line S and GT-Line S grades.

Practicality

The Picanto’s 255-litre boot is one of the biggest in the class and you can fold the rear seats down 60-40. ‘2’ models upwards have front and rear electric windows, electric door mirrors and a leather multi-function steering wheel.

Living with it

The 8” touchscreen is a joy to use with in-built navigation and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There’s also a 4.2” TFT cluster display between the dials. You can also get advanced driving aids like Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance.
