My wife has the 2018 and although it is a bit small for longer trips (2hr+), it is our go to car for around town. It's geared for town so its zippy and nimble. Parking is a breeze as it can fit anywhere. It is also incredibly cheap to run and built solid. Glad to see it still around.
Well done, Kia, for sticking with this class of car. Although the detailing is fussy, the facelift works with this size of car. Should do well.
Drove a Picanto recently while on vacation. It is a nice small car. Great for around town driving!
And 5 seats are back! Excellent.
The front end is so busy and over styled, I think we now know where the designer of 'that' Honda Civic has gone to work. Kia/Hyundai are generally doing great cars these days, effectively taking the space in the mass market that Ford used to own.
I’m glad to see Kia is still committed to the Picanto, but I think I prefer the current one to this new updated version.
Well it was the most profited model they ever made.
i thought they wasted this for the Morning ( at least in my place)
Me too. It’s a nice little car but it need just a bit of a more muscular look.
So do I , so many so called improvements are ridiculous.
by the current one do you mean the round and cute design? if so, then yes it is by far the cutest car design ever made. next to the beetle, for me.
I have a Kia Picanto 2007. It has clocked over 350000 on and still runs with the original engine and gear box. I think I will get one of this one.
With the departure of the 108 and C1, this is the arrival we needed!
I often wonder what those huge factories are making now.
Really bold styling - even more "Stormtrooper" than the face-lifted Soul EV...!!
We have a 2023 GT-Line S & it’s a fabulously fun small car to drive. Shame the turbo has been dropped as the engine in ours is superb & nippy to drive with power available everywhere in the rev range thanks to the turbo. Good to see Kia is still selling a small car as most manufacturers seem to be dropping them, silly when you consider how economical & practical they are as a city or 2nd car.
our 19 plate gt line s is a nippy car, the 1.0 turbo is great fun in that chassis. like you say its a shame theyve dropped it
I would love to try a GT model with 100 hp - the old standard model I drive still has quite a bit of acceleration for what it is though unlike for example a spark, they can't overtake anyone. To be fair the spark drives further a gallon thogh
I've got the 21 plate GT-Line S (The "Bumblebee" edition which is 110 bhp); fantastic car, a real pocket rocket going from 0 - 60 in 8.5 seconds. At 57 years old, it ticks all my boy racer boxes.
I think they've missed a trick dropping the turbo as I use mine on many a long run and it's brilliant at it
Not convinced about its looks , but pleased they’re still going to make this car .
Once Euro 7 kicks in from 2025, there will be virtually none of these cars on the market. VW will stop selling the Up! and equivalents, and is also going to stop producing the Polo and equivalents. Such a shame as all that we need are small runabouts.
The Up! Variants have already gone. Ironic that emission laws are actually pushing us towards ever fatter vehicles. Basically the A and B segment cars are disappearing. :(
What about Euro 7 is causing this? Seems bonkers
@mrmiruk Euro 7 requires not only stricter emission standards but added on road emission of tyre and brake dust to be sent live to respective government agencies. This will greatly increase the complexity and cost of the car. Manufacturers would therefore focus on ensuring that their more profitable product lines comply first. They simply do not have the engineering resources to get all the current product lines compliant in time. Ford, VW Group and Stellantis have either ceased production or planned to do so of the lower profit margin vehicles. So sad 😞.
@@TL-xw6fh there’s also the argument that because they don’t contribute to the lowering of the manufacturers emissions targets as was the case with CO2 targets and they make little profit on them they’ve just cutting them from their ranges. Motoring is just about to get more expensive sadly.
Are you guys simply gonna sit and accept that Euro 7 is all about regulations. A little bit of thinking tells you these Euro emissions are a big scam.
It's a good little car, but (1) £14,000 isn't that cheap, and (2) I'm not sure all the creases and squared off features suit it quite as much as their larger models (Niro, Sportage). It looks a bit like a chihuahua in a stormtrooper uniform.
😂 apt description
They pushing the prices up to make the EV look less expensive. I’d get a current model for under £12k personally, prettier and better value.
XLine being axed huge mistake, and this is the last bow out for the picanto now
Love the looks and great to see a new car that's not an SUV! Much less particulates to come off the tyres.
I may be odd but I like that as it now looks like Kia family of cars
I still miss a newer model Skoda Citigo. The discontinued one is such a great little car I would like to see a newer version of it on the market. The last update even had a (short-lived) electric or hybrid option? But as said, it is hard to make a profit from small cheap city cars.
As I understood, Kia will put a lot of technical stuff as standard in this Picanto, digital cockpit, nav and so on, so the starting price might be significally higher that the previous model. The sunroof was already available in the previous model at least in 2022 in Europe when the new logo was already on them, same for the bigger entertainment system with touch screen. I have bought mine in april 2022 and I took the sunroof as option. The entertainment system is great and it has already the OTA update function, which I recently notices on mine, when it did the last update. Don't know how long it has already been an available option. I found that to be a must-have, very nice. I don't understand the dropping of the Turbo, because that changes the character of the car from a shopping cart to a little pocket rocket.
I have 2005 Picanto and still like a cheeta on the road. Small car but superfast.
What is being ignored in this move away from small cheap cars is the new driver market, who are now propping up the used not so cheap small car market.
i only want a small light weight car, looks my next car will have to see me out for 20-40 years . as next car im taking my time to find the right one been 4 years so far but i have no plans getting rid when i find it, small light weight petrol with a manual just fun to drive
Glad to see a new version of the Picanto. Rather than expensive EV's this is what Britain needs. Small and easy to manoeuvre and park
make an EV kit for this car too ( get a used one for 500 quid and mod it like the electrified garage did) get a 50Kwh one, and also the regen brake
@@sargera1 What's the point ? If people want a small EV then just buy one at the ridiculously inflated current EV prices. This is for people who need a car and don't want to pay the best part of £30k. No point in molesting a petrol car second hand when you can purchase and old Zoe or Leaf either
@@robsmall6466 EV's are super cheap right now 2nd hand. I can flip from a 1.6 diesel right now and save 1.5 grand a year using a domestic overnight tarrif for electricity.. in a few months when oil rockets again in price I'll save even more. Only mugs drive ancient ICE cars.
@@krackerman3628uy a 2nd hand EV!?… I’d rather risk taking a bath with a toaster! Only flogs buy EV’s, they’re either saving money through subsidies, aren’t aware of the depreciation (financially or capacity) and/or are greenwashed by the hype.
I’m guessing it’s the second point!😂… nonetheless, all the other failings come in close behind. The new owner of your 1.6 diesel will be a happy chap.
@@krackerman3628 Why are they super cheap ? Because no one trusts the batteries and the price of electricity has shot up. Only mugs go near an EV right now
The new Picanto is really beautiful....solid
I can't believe Kia are dropping the turbo engine. My wife has the GT-S (so it has the turbo engine) and it's a hoot to drive. Some people do want the small car that can still shift when you need it to. We'll be holding on to the current car for some time then - it will probably start to appreciate in value eventually. Despite the udpates, I can't imagine the 1.2 engine will do 0-60 in under 10 secs.
The only problem with these new models are the prices. I remember these cars was cheap to buy and maintain
I would recommend that potential buyers look at the latest Suzuku Ignis before making the final decision. I did and chose the Ignis. I wanted greater body height to cope with the hazards on today's roads. Much more room for me , my passengers and luggage. Room for a spare wheel (extra). I also disliked the AMT transmission. Suzuki abandoned their similar previous AGS system due to many problems. I am not suggesting that you choose one over the other because the Picanto has many features that the Ignis does not and this may suit you better.
The 2nd gen/2011 2-door hatchback looks cool. Too bad we didn't get them in the US. 😥
Looks too aggressive for a small car, just my thoughts though.
I just love these funky little cars,loved how they used to look, the new look is kooky but head turning, which is as it should be. Thank goodness these are still being made, I'll definitely test drive one when I look for my next car 😊
@@jonathanparle8429 🤣🤣🤣
@@jonathanparle8429 😁😁😁
comparing picanto vs sandero is unfair. Sandero is same class as Kia Rio and Renault clio
We draw the comparison because the pricing between the Sandero and Picanto is similar. But you're correct in that the Sandero is priced like a city car but actually the size of a bigger car!
Miss my Picanto.. I had the 2017 manual model. It was pocket rocket.. zippy and fun to drive.
Why do this video when the UK specification is not firmed up? Did Kia pay for it?
If KIA put a hybrid system into it, helping the acceleration and push the MPG even more, that'll be amazing.
But the style is cool tho
Had my first Kia in 1994 pride four years not a problem then jad a mentor one light bulb in five years nobody wanted them now people have realised how good they are love the modern look of new update
I can see that front bumper being damaged, encountering the first urban speed ramp.
Damnnn KIA really became a bad ass brand eh... proud to be part of this community
Community?
@@MarthaMansbridge KIA user
The 5 speed AMT for the 1.2 engine is very smooth and perfect for relaxed driving in traffic which is everywhere! Very glad Kia is bringing back this engine. Thanks Kia.
isnt it AMT kinda sluggish in gear up/down ( like an untuned 100cc scooter semi auto)?
@@sargera1 No. I drive a Hyundai i10 1.2 AMT and it is very smooth and relaxing to drive in traffic. I know it is not as smooth for the 1.0 AMT. Looking forward to buying this Kia facelifted model with 1.2 AMT.
@@user-nk2qv2pt2o yeah the lower cc got more hiccups on AMT, if only it can go smooth like 110cc bikes lol ( only takes like almost same with M/T)
God i absolutely loathe AMT gearboxes. I've tried them in multiple cars and they're all dreadfully sluggish and jerky and dimwitted. Either just get a propper manual or save up for a car with a real automatic.
@@PaulHojda or this small cc might as well use dog drive witha short throw on reg M/T
Waow, this is looking good. Nice work Kia
When’s this coming out in the uk? Is it this year..? If so do you have a rough time frame…thanks 👍
£14,000 for just the starting price?? That's what I payed in 2019 for a fully prepped Picanto, with all the features and an auto gearbox. Things have changed dramatically in 4 puny little years.
Glad to see to have a new picanto. i hope they released it in the PH market.
I've been driving a Kia Picanto for about 18 months and I had a Hyundai getz back in 2015 which was brilliant which is essentially the same car. They really drive much lighter and better for the most part than even against Volkswagen Up which I've also owned and the Skoda Citigo. Definitely keen on sticking with this car 🚗
For all those concerned about the turbo engine being dropped, this is probably only certain markets, not the UK. If i remember correctly, Korea has not had the turbo engine for years, and as Korea is Kia's home market, any info about specifications on new models/updates, always refers to the Korean version first.
Hope so. I absolutely love my turbo spec. It's really nippy 😊
@@kaycee5115 but Hyundai haven't dropped it
It will be dropped. The turbo is obviously more expensive to produce and put simply, they don’t need to. They are keeping the Picanto in the lineup but stripping everything performance wise out of it to encourage you to buy further up their range in to the bigger profit margin models.
Hope you're right and biking chap is wrong. This looks to be even better specced than the current model but without the turbo the GT Line will be gutless. Have been torn between the now discontinued VW Up! GTI (bit faster) and the Picanto GT Line S (much better kitted) and the 2024 Picanto would tip the balance all the way - but only with the turbo. Otherwise might be best to snap up a remaining '23 spec GT Line S.
@@ralphwindsor9113 I hope I'm wrong too but I'd grab a turbo now if I were you.
I like the 4 cylinder engine at gen 3 model
Are parts still coming out for the gen. 1 picanto? Are many of the new parts compatible???
Looks brilliant!!! I see disk brakes at the back. Nice to see a fresh face in the small segment.
I have the 2023 GT turbo, I totally recommend this as a frugal fun car that flies off the line
This might be my economic grocery getter once it's available, and hopefully being a gt-line 80-100hp variant with a manual!
Such a beautiful creation, my is 2021 GT line, love it so much
In South Africa the top of the Range Kia Picanto came with sunroofs shocking to find out it wasn’t available in other markets
The X-Line S models came with a sunroof 👍
WHEN WILL IT BE ON THE MKT IN THE UK AND HOW MUCH OPEN UP .
I wish my country didn’t fall into coup. New cars are just a dream now
a very smart neat car for around town ,nice colour in green looks very classy for a small car
I like my 2016 Picanto Sport. Only gripe I have with it is the amount of noise that comes through when going over 50mph let alone driving on motorways at 70mph. Really poor sound dampening is the only drawback. Even the music on load still struggle. Also the sound system is only 4 speakers so its a struggle to begin with.
PICANTO… Sounds like the cross between a GOURMET PEANUT and a SPANISH MOVIE
What a shame there is no turbo option, That is a big mistake by Kia in my view.
Looks great but no turbo charged engine on the GT line is disappointing to say the least.The current one is a great drive.
Decent car
Picanto is popular because of its price and reliability
I hate it that my favourate car is getting expencive with every passing year. I drive the Kia street 2019 model and love it. I still haven't though what I will be driving next. I thought it could be another picanto but the price keeps going up.
Looks great imo
Can't wait for this to be launched in Canada. would be my first Kia
I see bits of Toyota in that new fascia.
Good to see Kia still has their eye on the masses with this car.
Front Light Bars are dumb and tacky no ta
I love the new looks of this picanto
Great news…this means there will be some bargains to be had on the previous shape model if/when the dealers struggle to sell the old shape ones 🤞👍
Nice Kia Picanto old and new..👌🏼💪🏼😎
Great looking car, excellent design by KIA, but does the GTline come in an automatic variant?
I would buy it.. reminds me of the Honda Fit, which they no longer sell in the States
Hope we will have it here in the Philippines
When is it expected in the UK?
We should see it over here in early 2024!
@@whatcar Thanks, I have an X line S on order for delivery in September, so I was wondering if I should wait for this facelift. I think not.
Great, so they retain the truly gutless 1 litre where they could’ve just a single engine, the 1.2.
The price increase is no doubt another step in convincing people that EVs aren’t going to cost THAT much more than the run out petrol models and a wise person should opt for the prettier current model still widely available for under £12k
I love my 2022 Kia picanto x line s ❤ they are easy to park with. I have a heated steering wheel, two heated seats at the front, very economical, 7 years warranty 🎉
Wow, personally in love with the car❤
I hope it is more reliable than my new Niro HEV 4 which has been sat on my drive, unused, since January due to a gearbox fault with Kia being very unhelpful.
My 22 Picanto has wireless carplay ıdk why it is not available with the new one 🤔
In Canada, we have no hopes in having cars the size of the Picanto available to us, despite our driving needs not being all that much different than anyone else's. It's a shame we will never have access to these super-affordable cars.
Also, man would this be a hit if it had about 40km of all-EV range as an option.
I don't understand why more cars aren't like the BMW i3 with range extender. Drive 100km as an EV plus a motorcycle engine to charge it up if you need to go further.
I agree, it’s mostly to blame the government for not accepting Euro standards into our country despite that we had a EU trade deal with them since 2013.
Such a shame that they didn’t put any efforts into changing our car regulations. Otherwise our auto industry would’ve been so different than what we have now.
This will be a hit here in the Philippines. A gt wing , lowered, ce28 15 or 16s rims. Eaaaasyyyy
This car is kinda getting to me here. There's clearly some cheesy retro elements going on here. I also love that digital dash. This car with 84HP and the automated 5 speed transmission seems like a great deal to me. It kinda looks cool after looking at it for a while as well. This car might be worth a shot.
At least present also to us the base model. Cause the gt line is pretty much expensive considering it’s category.
Id get one if the turbo was available like my 22 1.0 turbo GT LINE S as its megga for Dogging!
the new "Darth Vader" look 😁
Please kia, hopping for picanto n cerato to get in malaysia market
1.2 is 4cyl
WHy do the cooler cars only come out in other countries!?
This looks so awesome. I still can’t understand how they got the styling so wrong on the Sportage.
The design is great, but it needs a more design refinement when viewed on the sides. If this will be offered on an EV variant, i will be getting that one.
TBC stand for??
it's like a mini suv.. 🤢
I like the look of this new model but think the lack of a turbo engine is a step backwards but maybe the 1.2 mpi version will be ok
@@jonathanparle8429 prob more like how much torque u get on the 2500 rpm, 50cc wont prob give more than 1 hp, but the torque (esp when with turbo can be so much diff feel)
maybe you can install an inexpensive aftermarket one?
@@jonathanparle8429The 1248 cc is obsolete now but the 1197cc is a much more modern engine with vvt and is perfectly capable of powering the larger and heavier Rio, so it would be brilliant in the Picanto
Another classy review. The stick on afterthought screen would again stop me buying one.
100% sure the entry level one comes with a normal radio with Bluetooth, as with the current one. So no screen if you desire it.
@@tadeuszmarin5704 thanks for that information !
About time for a EV version or at least a Hybrid.
This version gets a nice price hike to help prepare us for the even more expensive small EV that will no doubt come in the next few years when we won’t baulk at £18-20k for the smallest ev city car from a cheap far east brand.
This guy is nitpicking way too much. Such an awesome car and features for the price they are charging!
Could Edd China fit on the back seat? 🤔
Dropped the Turbo !????
Probably wasn't profitable, which is a shame as the gt-line with the turbo was allegedly a real hoot to drive.
Should’ve made the car longer
If you want one with 3 inches longer, and wider, it's called ... Hyun ... i 10, bassically the same car, only more room inside !
Cuando llega a México 🇲🇽???
"you couldnt get a sunroof with previous models" - strange, looking outside at my 19 plate picanto GT line S... i see a sunroof
Should look pretty cool in yellow, too bad it'll be pricey on my neck of the woods
I will strip this new model all of the new tech and features and put it the original 3rd gen body (for me the most good looking) this will sell like pancake
I think this design they brought only works on bigger cars
