2016 Kia Picanto – 2016 Price, Specifications and Features

Kia’s first ever sub-compact, the 2016 Kia Picanto has arrived in Australia. This comes after a prolonged "battle" to get the car’s price and specification right for Australia - some five years after the car’s international debut.

Kia promises the Picanto will deliver a “substantial-feeling” car, priced from $14,990 driveaway in a single specification.

Under the bonnet there’s a 1.2 litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine (Kia pushes the boundaries a little, calling it a 1.25 litre engine), mated to a standard four-speed automatic, with no manual variant to be offered.
