New face for Picanto




Kia's Picanto small car has just had its mid-life facelift, which brings a new grille, lights and bumper to the Picanto party. The new bumpers (front and rear) mean that it's now 40mm longer than before, but the wheelbase remains unchanged so there's no improvement on interior space.

In spite of which, the interior has had a major makeover, with a new fascia, new instruments and new steering wheel meant to ape the look of its bigger brother, the Ceed. It'll arrive on Irish shores by the autumn, with the same 1.0 and 1.1-litre petrol engines, and prices should remain pretty much the same.
