Kia’s have taken their city-loving Picanto and “crossed it over” to the outdoor adventure life, get it? Yes?? The new Kia Picanto x-line is here as Kia want to dive into the crossover segment as well. Let see what’s what.
Well, Kia has gone all out on making it a crossover car. The cladding and mudguards look very cool on the Picanto. A new bumper, radiator grille, LED headlights and taillights are all part of the Picanto’s X-line looks.
Inside we get two-tone artificial leather upholstery and a new 8-inch colour touchscreen infotainment system, allowing for the safety and convenience of screen mirroring services such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The system also incorporates a reverse camera with dynamic guidelines.
The performance?, Kia has put their 1.0 MPI three-cylinder engine that produces 49 kW at 5 500 r/min and 96 Nm torque, while the four-cylinder 1.25-litre engine develops 61 kW of power and 122 Nm of torque. Customers have a choice between a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.
All Picanto models ship as standard with KIA’s industry-leading Unlimited Kilometre, 5-year warranty (inclusive of Roadside Assistance), as well as a prepaid 2-year / 30,000km service plan.
