The Kia Picanto is a city car with a 1.0 petrol engine of 50 kW (68 hp) and, according to Kia's April 2026 price list, costs from €20,995 on the road (ComfortLine, 4-seater). Combined fuel consumption is 5.1 to 5.5 l/100 km for the manual four-seater, per the price list. The Picanto comes in 14 versions, up to €27,395.
The Picanto is a city car for people who rarely carry adults in the back; according to ANWB it has a lot of standard equipment for its price class, and Kia gives a seven-year factory warranty. ANWB gives the 1.0 DPi DynamicPlusLine it tested an ANWB Score of 6.6 and calls performance modest and the rear seat tight. No current Euro NCAP rating is available for the present Picanto.
