KIA PICANTO AVAILABLE TO TEST DRIVE PARK'S KIA EAST KILBRIDE, COATBRIDGE AND BATHGATE

With standard equipment levels being raised across the board, the Picanto also benefits from major safety features including ABS, ESC and EBD, making this model not only extremely modern under the bonnet but also acclaimed for its excellent handling and rapid response.

The Kia Picanto is stylish, spacious, versatile and fun to drive and for added peace of mind it comes fully covered by Kia’s unique 7 year warranty as standard.

Compact and fun-to-drive, the Picanto has been refashioned to feature a comprehensive package of styling, re-engineering and specification revisions including the new 'SR7' trim grade which replaces the previous 'VR7' variant, adding considerably more equipment to the car.

With a choice of 3 and 5 door models all with five seats, each version of the Picanto receives a revised front end to feature new headlights, a refreshed bumper design with new vertical foglamp housing alongside a restyled rear bumper as standard while the 5door grade '2' model sees new and exclusive eight-spoke, petal-shaped 14-inch alloy wheels and metallic paint options.

Styling and quality enhancements have also been applied to the interior. Every model now showcases chrome rings on the three-cylinder instrument cluster and chrome accents on the air vent knobs, together with a high-gloss black finish to the gear selector, adding to the already high-quality look and feel of the car. Compared with the previous 'VR7', 'SR7' models now benefit from privacy glass and automatic lights, while the five-door grade '4' version which sits at the top of the Picanto range gains cruise control with a speed limiter. All models also feature an upgraded audio system with fewer buttons and faster responses.
