Kia Picanto Review
Kia's long-serving city car, the Picanto is a flagship on the market. Find out more about this vital model in our Kia Picanto review!
The Picanto is Kia’s compact urban hatchback and what it lacks in stature it makes up for in affordability, style and equipment.
Sitting behind the larger Kia Ceed hatchback, the Kia Picanto was fully revised in 2024, arriving with a razor-sharp exterior design and larger 1.2-litre petrol engine.
Kia says the Picanto is suitable for first-time and experienced drivers alike and it’s hard to disagree.
Read moreThe latest version of the Kia Picanto looks better than ever, with style cues taken from the flagship electric Kia EV9 evident both inside and out.
There are two powertrains up for grabs with the Picanto - a 1.0-litre petrol engine with power of 62 bhp or a larger 1.2-litre unit with 77 bhp, both offering impressive fuel economy.
As standard on every new variant of the latest Kia Picanto, lease customers can expect an 8-inch touchscreen with sat nav and a 4.2-inch digital cockpit, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, and safety tech such as lane keep assist and lane follow assist.
The most sporty GT-Line S models add 16-inch alloys, unique exterior and interior styling, a tilting and sliding sunroof, ambient lighting, and uprated safety equipment.
Other options to consider in the supermini lease market include the Hyundai i10, Suzuki Swift, and Toyota Aygo X.

In simple terms, leasing is the single most cost-effective and hassle free method of driving a brand-new car, and with Select Car Leasing you can be sure that you are in safe hands.
Ian was extremely helpful and communicative throughout the process. Despite me being a novice to car leasing, and changing vehicles halfway through, it was still a trouble free experience. Would recommend, and use again.
Jim was easy to work with and I got the vehicle I requested. Hand over was easy and the delivery driver spent time explaining all the cars functions. Communication was good throughout the process.
Voytek Kowalczyk in particular made this process really painless. I had quotes put out in the market to over a dozen brokers (for this company car lease). There was only one quote that came in cheaper than Select but it came eight days too late (after I signed the Select papers off). On detailed examination it turned out to be £97 cheaper over three years instead of the £535 that appeared initially. This is because even if their monthly charge was £15 cheaper, the initial payment was £428 higher - assuming zero interest acrual on the £428. Voytek is a great communicator and, though clearly busy, keep me posted on the progress. The experience so far has been great. Will return to this review when I renew in three years, to state how that has been.
