Kia welcomed the third-generation Picanto in 2017, ushering in a whole new design for the compact city car inside and out. With the new generation comes plenty of changes, complemented by the revised version launched locally recently.
The new Kia Picanto is certainly one sporty and elegant little car. Oozing with contemporary style, this diminutive South Korean beauty has been streamlined to deliver a concise, less-confusing, and greatly improved small city driver, not to mention provide buyers with an extremely affordable quality car offering.
Despite the current model being a new generation, it retains the 1.0-liter engine of the old model. However, a 1.2-liter version is also now on offer, propelling the new Picanto to 82hp and 122Nm. Transmission options remain the same in the new model.
The 2020 Kia Picanto has a price range of PHP590,000 to PHP745,000, with four variants to choose from. Below is a breakdown of the different specs and features of each variant.
