The Kia Picanto is a compact, city-friendly hatchback that offers surprising practicality, modern styling and decent equipment for its size. The 2022 version continues Kia’s approach of delivering value, efficient petrol engines, and a good dose of technology. The boot capacity remains competitive within its segment (255 litres with seats up; 1,010 litres with seats folded) so it combines city manoeuvrability with usable load space.
It’s ideal for drivers looking for a reliable, affordable small car, whether for urban use, first-time buyers, or as a second car.
The standard 1.0 petrol version (non-turbo) achieves modest performance (0-60 mph in, for example, ~14.6 seconds in some tests) for urban and occasional extra-urban use
For the turbo version: 0-60 mph in around ~9-10 seconds for the 99 bhp model
Fuel efficiency: for the less powerful models, fuel economy around ~59 mpg; turbo versions around ~52 mpg in mixed driving according to review
CO₂ emissions: for lower output models around ~110 g/km; for higher power versions ~120 g/km.
Fuel tank capacity: approx 35 litres
