2017 Picanto From Kia Uncovered

The next-gen Kia Picanto city car has been caught uncovered.

The latest shot appeared just several days after the automaker presented a whole bunch of official rendered pictures of the next Picanto. It is possible to see a more mature, edgy model with a more high-end cabin.

The new Picanto should be presented as a shrunken variant of its Rio relative. Expect the known “tiger nose” to be stretched between big LED-highlighted headlamps reaching back to the sloping A-pillars.

You will find lots of similar things with the bigger Rio.

Inside the cabin the model under consideration features a “floating” look for the main display screen (that reminds of Rio again). Below you will see 2 horizontal vents. More tall vents will be placed at either of the dash.

More details are coming soon. We heard that the Picanto will be equipped with Rio’s 1.0-litre 3-cylinder engine.
