Kia releases first images of the all new Picanto

Kia Motors has released images of the all new Picanto, the third generation of one of Kia's global best-selling cars. A 15mm longer wheelbase (up from 2,385mm to 2,400mm) also pushes the wheels further out into each corner for a more confident appearance. The Picanto's colour palette is more vibrant than ever, with a range of bold paint colours designed to make the car stand out.

Buyers of the all new Picanto will enjoy smarter packaging efficiency than ever before, with more cabin and cargo space than rivals in the segment. Inside, the Picanto's suite of high-tech comfort, convenience and safety features is underscored by a modern and refined new cabin design. At the heart of the cabin is a new 'floating' touchscreen infotainment system, making the latest in-car technology available to occupants.

In spite of its extended wheelbase, the Picanto retains its characteristically compact dimensions. With a shorter front overhang and longer rear overhang, the all new model is the same length (3,595mm) as the car it replaces. Kia will reveal the all new Picanto to the public for the first time at the 2017 Geneva International Motor Show in March, and will go on sale in the U.K. in the Spring of 2017.
