This model was first presented in 2016, and Kia made some obvious tweaks to better appeal to its customer base.

Kia Picanto: A BIG Deal

FOR city folks, the five-door KIA Picanto is ideal as it matches comfort and value with a lifestyle characterised by traffic congestion and limited parking experienced.
