About the Kia Picanto

The Kia Picanto is a city car available in South Africa across LS, LX, EX, and EX+ specification levels powered by 1.0-litre and 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engines with manual and automatic transmission options, plus panel van derivatives for small business buyers who need a compact urban delivery vehicle. The range covers one of the broadest specification spreads in the city car segment, from the entry 1.0 LS manual through to the 1.2 EX+ automatic at the top of the lineup, and Kia's seven-year warranty makes it one of the most comprehensively backed new vehicles available at this price point. It competes with the Hyundai Grand i10, Suzuki Celerio, and Toyota Agya, and suits buyers who want a small, economical daily car with a strong warranty and Kia's improving quality reputation.

Who is the Picanto best for?

  • First-time new-vehicle buyers who want a city-friendly car with Kia's seven-year warranty at an entry-level price
  • Urban commuters comparing the Picanto against the Hyundai Grand i10 and Suzuki Celerio on running costs and warranty coverage
  • Small business owners considering the Picanto panel van for compact urban deliveries with a full manufacturer warranty
  • Buyers who want the 1.2 EX or EX+ as a well-specified automatic city car with more power than the base 1.0-litre engine
