Kia Picanto buying guide
What types of used Kia Picanto cars are there?
The Kia Picanto first launched in 2004 and became an instant hit thanks to its affordability, size and good looks.
It stacks up well against its rivals because of its lower price point, but it doesn't compromise on quality or styling. The Picanto is a good-looking city car that offers a very impressive interior for its class.
It finds its main competition in the Volkswagen Up! and Hyundai i10, but it’s a great option for a compact cruiser. Choosing the Picanto will mean you get the reliability and value for money associated with the brand, so it’s worth considering.

What features does the Kia Picanto have?
A used Kia Picanto features a very good-quality interior with lots of different car tech options. Standard features for any used Kia Picanto for sale include USB and aux connectivity, but higher-spec versions get even more kit.
There are some other options available that include a four-speaker setup, an infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, sat-nav, DAB radio and an eight-inch touchscreen.
Overall, the cockpit is very functional and offers a simplistic and ergonomically pleasing design.
The Picanto GT-Line S models are the ones that get all the bells and whistles, including sportier looks and wireless phone charging.
In terms of storage space, a used Picanto is surprisingly good considering its size and class of vehicle. It has 255 litres of available boot space, which increases to 1,010 litres when the rear seats are folded down.
