2019 Kia Picanto 1.2 GT-Line AT Engine Specs

Launched in 2017, the third generation Kia Picanto is on the final legs of its model lifecycle, but an all-new generation model is still nowhere in sight. To keep the company’s entry A-segment model competitive, a new facelifted 2023 Kia Picanto has been announced for Korea. The redesigned front-end design now shares a lot of similarity with the Kia Niro. There’s a new pair of LED headlights, now connected via a horizontal strip. Behind, the LED tail lamps get a similarly matching styling, with

The upcoming 2023 Kia Picanto facelift is only bound to make its world debut later this year, but sleuths have already posted it in full on Korean automotive forum Autospy. Sold as the Morning there, the Picanto is due for a refresh, having first launched in 2017 and subsequently updated in 2020. Competition in the A-segment hatchback segment is stiff; with Hyundai having the i10 and the much newer Casper, a refreshed visual and specs package are in order. As such, the Picanto's new face is one

Small in stature but big on style, the Kia Picanto JA is a well-built, reliable and economical little car which is ideal for first- or second-car buyers, as well as enthusiast types who will enjoy it for the way it drives.

Car reviews just like the ones published here can in a way influence whether said car is good or bad. However, while they make good reference points to consumers, the general consumer would still prefer buying one that isn't unfamiliar. Besides, the cars that we review are normally given to us for a few days so we can’t tell you how it is in the long run unless it’s a long-termer like our very own Cik Tiva.

Until the introduction of the current Perodua Myvi, the second-generation Kia Picanto (TA) was the only car in its price segment that offered a full complement of 6-airbags, ABS, EBD, vehicle stability control, (4x) seat belt reminders, and rear disc brakes. Today, with prices under RM 25k, it still represents superb value for money, better safety levels and more power than a new Perodua Axia 1.0E, which sits at a similar price point. The Kia Picanto is the company’s take on a global small car,

Big news yesterday as Kia's Malaysian operations have officially come under new ownership. In case you've missed it, the new distributor is Dinamikjaya Motors Sdn. Bhd., a subsidiary of Bermaz Auto. Following that, the new distributor is calling for current Kia owners to hop on to their site and participate in the company's customer information update exercise. This information, the company says in their Facebook post, will be used to allow their system to check for warranty status and recall no

Previously in our year-end review of sorts, we have taken a look at the most important car launches but in this article, we'll focus on the models that have been discontinued in 2020. Some of them are pulled out due to being replaced, poor sales, or in the case of one of them, bad luck. Without further distractions, let’s pour out a little motor oil for these fallen models that were killed off in 2020.

Kia has officially given the third generation Kia Picanto a mid-life facelift in Korea. The new A-segment 2021 Kia Picanto now features a whole host of new safety upgrades and advanced infotainment upgrades. The Picanto facelift gets a new 1.0-litre EcoPrime naturally aspirated petrol engine (76 PS / 95 Nm) that has better fuel efficiency at 15.4 km/l.

The moose test is an evasive maneuver test done to evaluate how well a vehicle performs when evading an obstacle on the road. It is a test of the car’s handling balance and stability control. The term was coined after Swedish car magazine Teknikens Varld flipped over a first-gen Mercedes-Benz A-Class in a test to measure the car’s ability to avoid hitting a moose, which is a common sight in Sweden.
