The revolt of compact cars that broke stereotypes

Kia's flagship compact car, the Picanto, has continued to record the highest monthly sales in Australia since the coronavirus pandemic.

The model emphasizes a sleeker image through LED daytime running lights that implement ‘Star Map Signature Lighting’ and vertically arranged headlamps, and features a signature rear combination lamp, a three-dimensional bumper, and a tail lamp that appears to be connected vertically to the reflector. Creates a simple and stable design.

In particular, the partially modified Picanto released in Australia emphasized sportiness by adding the Picanto Sport and GT Line.

These versions are all equipped with a 1.2-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine and mated to a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. This produces a maximum output of 83 horsepower and a maximum torque of 12.4 kg.m.

In addition, both the Sports and GT Line models come standard with a variety of convenience and safety features, including a 4.2-inch digital instrument panel and an 8-inch center display, as well as blind spot collision-avoidance assist, rear-end collision-avoidance reporting, and lane keeping assist.
