Kia Picanto
The Kia Picanto, Kia's modern compact hatchback, has been enhanced with a new eye-catching design and with advanced technologies as seen on other models in the brand's wider model line-up.
"From urban commuters and working professionals, to young adults buying their first car, part of the Kia Picanto's enduring success is its mass appeal," says Sjoerd Knipping, Vice President Product & Marketing of Kia Europe. "In a time when societies are struggling with rising prices and debates about urban space and quality of life are growing louder, the new Picanto allows customers to enjoy the freedom that movement brings."
The new Kia Picanto comes with the choice between baseline and 'GT-Line' trim levels. The sporty 'GT-Line' embodies Kia's brand aspirations and combines a stylish exterior with advanced technology, suiting it for younger, first-car customers and working professionals alike.
Picanto is one of Kia's best-selling models in several regions worldwide and remains a particular favourite among European A-segment drivers who value short journeys and access to limited parking space. Within this framework, the new Picanto offers a great feature set. It comes with more standard features than ever before, and its driver assistance systems help make driving in busy European cities easier and more comfortable.
The new Picanto enables younger and new customers to connect with Kia and partner with the brand on their journey through life - without compromising on quality or convenience. It is a symbol of independence and a gateway to making memories. An expanding range of mobility options in European cities enable Kia Picanto to be part of a broad mobility ecosystem, thanks to its ease of parking and manoeuvrability as well as its park-and-go mobility. With up to 1,010 litres of storage space (VDA), its boot can store a folding bicycle or e-scooter.

2024 Kia Picanto Revealed
The Korean brand’s local best seller has been given an update. Here’s the 2024 Kia Picanto!
The 2024 Kia Picanto has just been revealed and what you see here is the sporty GT-Line flagship that shows off the extensive redesign. You’ll quickly spot the new paint finish, which is straight from the new-generation Kia Sportage and some of those design elements are very similar to that of both the aforementioned family SUV and the eco-focused Niro.
Despite the rise of the compact SUV and crossover, there’s still a considerable interest in affordable and uncomplicated city hatchbacks. Admittedly in some markets, the A-segment has shrunk dramatically, but right here in South Africa, the Kia Picanto flies the flag as the Korean’s best-selling vehicle, with the Kia Sonet in hot pursuit.

Looks really good, and I love the purple/pinkish hue on the info center/speedo.
But I hate it when manufacturers include old skool incandescent bulbs for indicators or reverse light, why go through the trouble of creating beautiful led taillights only to ruin it with outdated indicator/reverse lights. The new grand vitara suffers from the same issue.

A fairly detailed facelift (exterior) wise. Interior & mechanicals pretty much the same.Is it new or facelift? Just need some clarity on that.
The update was mostly exterior focused to bring it in line with the current (new) design language eg. almost mini EV9 vibes from the front.
