THE ALL-NEW PICANTO

Without a doubt, KIA has become an icon in the metropolis; the streets of Cebu, dominated by the car brand. Through the years, KIA in Cebu has risen to become one of the top competitors in the automotive industry. It has been a goal for the brand ever since the start.

One popular car model from KIA that is making waves in the past few years is the KIA Picanto. Compact and an absolute pleasure to drive, the Picanto gets a makeover with the all-new Picanto now being out.

Let’s take a closer look at this icon of a car.

The all-new KIA Picanto is still the same youthful car that all have come to love. Its energetic qualities stay the same but one noticeable change is the update that has been made to the exterior. It still has the same young and adventurous vibe but features a 15mm increase to its wheelbase. The new-generation Picanto is given an entire update on its exterior with the beautiful tigernose grille now being extended all the way to the headlights. This specific upgrade brings the Picanto closer to Kia’s sportier models such as the Forte and Rio. The headlights have also been given an improvement, looking sharper and more aggressive for this new model. When it comes to the interior of the Picanto, it’s a refined and modern ambiance that wins the hearts of clients who take a look at this gem. The horizontal design now highlights more space in terms of the headroom, legroom as well as the shoulder room of the interior.

Kia kept the Picanto’s engine the same with the 1.0L 3-cylinder with a 5-speed MT and a 1.2L 4-cylinder with a 4-speed AT still available.

The big improvement lies in the chassis upgrade. With the changes made, the improvement in balance and responsiveness during driving just adds to the whole driving experience, making the new Picanto a force to be reckoned with.
