Kia Pakistan has officially launched the all-new Picanto. The 5-door hatchback will be Kia’s 3rd car in the country after Grand Carnival and Sportage.
While the first two were geared towards the high-end consumer base, Picanto will be competing in the midrange with the likes of Suzuki Cultus, Suzuki Wagon R, and Faw V2.
You can pre-book Picanto from today. Here are the ex-factory prices and the pre-booking price:

The car looks like a standard hatchback with curves in the right places, and arches at the back. At the front, it has a tiger-nose grille with chrome trimmings. The grille is joined by slightly elongated headlights at the front with curvy, inverted-L shaped lights at the back.
Interestingly, on the bumper, it has two rear lights similar to the new Suzuki Alto. The door handles have chrome on them and are bent inwards near the bottom.
The car will be available in four colors:
- Mercury Blue
- Sparkling Silver
- Milky Beige
- Clear White
The inside of the car, contrary to the small exterior, is very roomy and spacious. While the dashboard and the door trimmings look plasticky, they feel solid and well built nonetheless.
In the pictures posted on Kia’s website, we can see that the steering wheel has buttons for answering a call or declining it and for the media controls. The information dials behind the steering wheel have a mixture of both manual dials and digital ones.
There is a multimedia unit that has a built-in CD changer, a touchscreen display with Bluetooth support and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The Picanto features a sunroof as well, according to the pictures.
While the trunk is small, space can be increased by folding the back seats if you need to haul larger cargo.
Engine
Kia Picanto is powered by an inline 3-cylinder 1.0 MPI engine that has a displacement of 998CC and 69 horses under the hood, coupled with an automatic or manual transmission.
For reference, Suzuki’s new Cultus also has a similar engine with the same horsepower.
Other Features
The Picanto has a Smart key with push-button start/stop feature, along with two airbags in the front and a Rear hatch wiper and defogger. It will have power steering along with power side mirrors in the automatic variant while the manual variant will have manual side mirrors.
Similarly, the automatic version will have power windows while the manual one will have power windows in the front and manual at the back.
