The interior of the all-new Picanto has been redesigned and equipped with the latest technology. The design of the dash is quite attractive with the centred touch display screen and an instrument pod in front of the driver. Numerous controls are positioned on the wheel which is adding the extra benefits to the driver. 

The premium quality leather sits with red accents, and the proper amount of head and leg space inside the car feels very comfortable as we cannot overlook the fact that it’s a small car. Also, the leather look steering wheel, alloy sports pedals, and a six-speaker audio system make it more like a standard car.

Under the bonnet of new Picanto GT-Line has the same engine as its previous variant Picanto S. A 62kW/122Nm 1.25-litre four-cylinder petrol engine is good enough to run in the city. What is the absent is there is no manual transmission variant of new Picanto GT-Line.

Kia officially claims that the new Picanto has the mileage of 5.8L/100km where there are different opinions on that. The good thing is it has a 35L fuel tank which means you won't have to spend much at the pump. Despite small engine, it is capable of carrying up to 1010L by folding the rear seats down.

Safety Features

The rigidity of its reinforced chassis provides safety, improves stability, handling and lowers Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) levels. 

Adding autonomous emergency braking (AEB) with a forward collision warning system (FCWS) in such a small car make it safer than ever. Also, rear parking sensors and a rearview camera with dynamic parking guidelines are standard across the range ensuring secure parking.
