We recently tested the new entry-level Kia Picanto LX which comes with a starting price of R260 995, yeah this price has left us and a lot of people shocked.
But it’s worth noting that the Picanto has grown into a finer product with the upgrades it recently received. it looks more premium and its overall build quality feels strong and lasting. Besides the refreshed design, you get a quirky city car that comes powered by a 1.0L 3-cylinder engine with 49kW & 96Nm of torque, available with either a 4-speed auto or 5-speed manual to suit your style.
We broke down what it’s like to drive, its features, practicality as well as the cost of ownership in the video review linked here
