The Kia Picanto is based on the same platform that underpins the Hyundai i10 sold abroad. It is available with 3 engine options – a 67bhp, 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol, a 99bhp, 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol and a 83bhp, 1.25-litre, 4-cylinder naturally-aspirated petrol. While the 1.0L engines are paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox, the 1.25L unit is available with a 4-speed torque convertor automatic.
Kia had showcased the Picanto hatchback at the 2018 Auto Expo; however, the vehicle won’t be launched in our market. Kia is currently focusing on expanding its SUV and MPV line-up in India. The company will launch the Sonet sub-4 meter SUV during festive season. Adding to it, Kia is also developing an all-new compact MPV for the Indian market.
