VIDEO: 2018 Kia Picanto – First Impression!

We’re on the official test drive of the new Kia Picanto today, and here’s a quick first-impression video!

Gotta say it’s been pretty impressive so far, its little 1.2-litre Kappa n/a engine is good for 84Ps and 121.6Nm, which may not seem like much, but for a car this small, it’s more than adequate. Nippy and frugal!

Speaking of size, the Picanto seems to have blurred the line between an A- and B-segment car just a bit, because while it may look diminutive on the outside, there’s a very decent amount of room on the inside…

Thus far the most impressive thing about it is its NVH levels, as well as its ride and handling and interior fit & finish. Priced at RM49,888 its superb value for money. Stay tuned for more coming soon!
