Kia Picanto is a subcompact front-wheel drive A-class car from the South Korean manufacturer, Kia Motors, produced since 2003. In 2020, the 2017 third generation Kia Picanto 5-Door Hatchback was available in Israel.

Distinctive features
The 2019/2020 Kia Picanto hatchback boats an energetic and striking design. The sophisticated interior is distinguished by protruding ovals of side ducts with silver edging, which is in harmony with a horizontal insert that serves as a pedestal for the multimedia system monitor and visually divides the front panel into two parts. The 2020 Kia Picanto offers a bunch of new features designed to enhance comfort and safety.
Modifications
In Israel, two petrol engine options of the new Kia Picanto are available. The first 1 liter engine producing 67 hp can be supplemented with both a 5-speed standard transmission and automatic transmission. The second 1.3 liter engine is a little stronger, as it produces 84 hp. It is supplemented with a 4-speed automatic transmission. With this engine, the Picanto can travel at a maximum speed of 161 km/h. Whereas a 1-liter engine equipped with automatic transmission provides only 148 km/h. And a 1-liter engine equipped with standard transmission will be the most ‘economical’ option, as its average consumption reaches 5 liters per 100 km.
