2024 Kia Picanto Review | Still A Great City Car

The refreshed 2025 model Kia Picanto has landed with new styling to match the EV range, and some revised tech. But are the engine choices good enough to consider this over rivals such as the Dacia Sandero?

Picanto gt line 1.2 84hp or i10 with 67hp? I like i10 better in style but gt line has more power so …but consumes more too i am lost what would you chose and why thanks

Most people considering this type of car are interested in only two things - reliability and reasonable running costs. Anything else is a bonus. Comments on the lack of a turbo option are pure testers' opinions, not long term owners views - unless you enjoy paying four figure repair bills! My own formula for buying is: four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine with a manual gearchange and manual handbrake. This Picanto is my perfect car.

Does the 2023 model have a better engine?

Same here have turbo and lovely and performance lost me want a little of performance.

Kia have killed the Picanto by not offering the Turbo option.
There's no doubt about that.
Whoever made that decision at Kia should be Sacked, they've lost Kia thousands or maybe millions of potential Picanto buyers worldwide.
Its the gaff of the century.

Most reviewers comment on the lack of the Turbo engine, but I wonder how many Kia used to sell. If it was that good a seller, I'm sure they would have kept it. Most buyers of this car probably aren't that bothered about the 0-60 time. I'm after one of these and these things don't bother me at all. Dan, you come across very whingey!
