The Kia Picanto 1.2 has a sporty look, practical (large trunk for this category) and full of accessories, but very expensive. Better to stick with the 1.0 67 hp version, which is more suitable for the average user.
La Kia Picanto was always one CityCar The "mature" city, also suitable for out-of-town routes (and that is why it is often used as the only family car), is very different from the more "toy" "segment A".
La third generation Korean baby is no exception and is presented on the market with design similar to that of the ancestor, but with content that makes it even more like a miniature “B segment”. In our road test we had the opportunity to test the most powerful (and most expensive) option: 1.2 in customization GTLine (the only one available with this engine). Let's get to know him together strengths e defects.
city
La Kia Picanto easy to maneuver in city: 3,60 meters long, large rear window and - to top it off - rear parking sensors с television camera standard. It's a pity for the lack of body protection, useful in case of "touches".
A little hard on the holes, install engine Naturally aspirated 1.2 with 84 hp and a torque of 122 Nm, which shows itself best in a "taut" state.
Outside the city
La Kia Picanto 1.2 " it looks more sporty (thanks to the version GTLine that winks at the world of “racing”) and driving pleasure. Engine - fined recovery not exceptional and with a verve that only starts to show around 3.500 rpm – it offers performance on a par with rivals (maximum speed 173 km / h and 12 seconds exactly at "0-100"), and on a narrow mixed road you will have to deal with not very maneuverable behavior on the road, with a certain dose roll and with a slight tendency to understeer (that is, expand the trajectory when cornering), is quickly adjusted by electronic control.
Among the positive aspects, we note Speed five-speed mechanics (very comfortable lever and light clutch) and here steering, one of the most sensitive in the segment CityCar.
шосе
La Kia Picanto our main character road test it is imperceptibly buried in motorway: loan for suspensions which absorb well the light depressions, di brakes a fairly powerful and well-soundproofed cabin (which, however, emits a curious "metallic" echo when talking inside).
Concerning "autonomy The Asian brand claims a range of 761 km, in fact, to stay above 600 you need to really make a commitment.
Life on board
La Kia Picanto universal car: more in trunk (huge for a category) and habitability (good, but there are better ones). The compartment has a capacity of 255 liters, which becomes 1.010 when the rear seats are folded down, and the possibility of raising the top allows for a completely flat surface in a two-seater configuration.
Le finish they are neat (the panel is made of hard plastic, but in the "segment A" - it's normal), as well as ergonomics. Only steering wheel too many buttons.
Price and costs
La Kia Picanto 1.2 " object of our road test objectively expensive car (15.000 euro). However, it should be said that the setting GTLine – the only one available in combination with engine more powerful - it is very complete.
A few examples? Four power windows, car receiver Android Car Apple CarPlay Bluetooth DAB, alloy wheels from 16", air conditioner manual, Cruise control, dual exhaust chromium-plated, fog lights, four disc brakes, mini skirts side navigator with 7 inch display and upgrade cards free for 7 years, pedal board in aluminum, rear view mirrors heated e foldable electrically, leather seats, parktronic from behind with Rear View Camera e tinted rear windows.
To all this you need to add Warranty from the record (семь лет or 150.000 XNUMX km) e la preservation of value which promises to be interesting ( Kia Picanto is in great demand forusedeven if the vast majority of customers focus on the more balanced version 1.0). THE consumption? Good, but not a record: the Korean manufacturer claims 21,7 km / l, which is always above 15 achievable, even with fun driving.
safety
La safety equipment of Kia Picanto 1.2 " our main character road test includes air bag front, side and curtain, attack Isofix, stabilization and traction control, automatic braking and pressure monitoring bus.
La CityCar The Korean also installs a fairly powerful braking system and boasts a good one. visibility but roll combined with a tendency to understeer in curves taken in a "fun" manner, it doesn't give much of a feel safety perceived.
