PICANTO ADDS A TOUCH OF KOREAN SPICE IN LLANDUDNO

As one of the most popular small cars on sale today, and the best-selling city car in the retail market in April, small really is beautiful with the Picanto. With a no compromise approach, the five-door, four- or five-seat Picanto offers plenty of practical space with a class-leading boot capacity of 255 litres and a 60:40 split folding second row of seats complete with child-seat friendly ISOFIX anchor points. These enable the small car to transport whatever life throws at it.

With a choice of efficient powertrains available – a naturally aspirated 1.0-litre petrol engine outputting 66bhp or a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol unit delivering 99bhp – fuel economy of up to 58.9mpg and emissions from 109g/km are possible.

There are six grades to choose from, with ‘1’ and ‘2’ providing access to entry and incremental levels of equipment. ‘GT-Line’ is next in the grade line-up, adding 16-inch alloy wheels and sports styling over the ‘2’ grade, as well as an 8.0-inch display with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™. ‘3’ builds on ‘GT-Line’ with chrome accents and electrically folding adjustable and heated door mirrors. ‘X-Line S’ adds rugged styling, while the range-topping ‘GT-Line S’ add further sports styling and amongst other additions, introduces a wireless mobile phone charger and smart key over the ‘GT-Line’ grade.

Prices start from £13,415 for the Picanto ‘1’ grade – making it the lowest price car on sale in the UK today. It comes with the sole option of a 1.0-litre petrol engine with manual gearbox. Customers can choose an automatic transmission on all grades except for ‘1’ and ‘GT-Line S’.

Every Picanto has been packed with a range of new safety and telematics technologies often reserved for larger, more expensive vehicles, including as standard six airbags, ABS braking, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Torque Vectoring Brake Based & Straight-Line Stability (SLS) and Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) amongst many other safety enhancements.

Don’t just take our word for it, see what the press are saying. The Telegraph gave the Picanto ‘GT-Line S’ a five star review, and at the 2022 Driver Power Awards the Picanto was awarded the ‘Best City Car’ award.

The Picanto is currently available with 7.9 per cent APR on finance deals with zero customer deposit, while existing Kia customers can enjoy a further £500 off the asking price of a new Picanto thanks to the Kia Enhanced Loyalty discount. n
