Product Overview

Kia Picanto Mk3 (chassis code JA) is an entry-level subcompact hatchback in production from 2017 to 2020, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.0 to 1.2 liters.
As the most affordable vehicle that Kia sells in many markets, the Picanto is a tiny city car that comes with little amenity, though it compares quite favorably to its European competition in terms of reliability.
Another plus is the small 9.4m (30.8ft) turning circle.
