About KIA PICANTO

The Kia Picanto is an ultra-compact urban car (A-segment in Europe) manufactured by the South Korean marque Kia Motors. It is the smallest vehicle of the brand. It was introduced in 2004. The Picanto has several names depending on the market in which it is marketed, such as Kia Morning, Kia EuroStar, Kia New Morning, Kia Suria or Naza Picanto. Its first version was born under a platform cut from the Hyundai Getz. The current versions use the platform shared with the Hyundai i10.

The Picanto competes against the rest of the urban microcars, which are few since many vehicle manufacturers have stopped their production due to their low profit margins. Some of the Picanto’s competitors are the Toyota Aygo, the Volkswagen Up, the Peugeot 108 and the Citroen C1. The latter, together with its platform brother, the Hyundai i10, are the closest in price to the Picanto. There are 3 generations of this urban utility vehicle.
