Kia Picanto: A perfect first ride for yuppies
Due to the pandemic, most employees nowadays are having second thoughts on utilizing public transportation regularly so as to minimize direct contact with lots of people. If you’re planning to purchase a car for a safer daily ride to the office, the Kia Picanto might be a perfect choice for you.
Despite being considered as the smallest Kia vehicle, the Picanto is surprisingly spacious inside. It is equipped with a user-friendly dashboard with features such as tilt adjustment for the steering wheel, segmented cluster LCD, 2.6-inch mono-LCD, and Aux and USB ports. Some variants have 60:40 split folding rear seats that gives you an ample space for your essentials whether you’re going to work or heading out for a vacation trip.
This compact five-seater hatchback is also known for its efficient safety features. The Picanto uses around 44% of Advanced High-Strength Steel (AHSS) which secures a resilient structure and boosts cabin protection.
Young professionals will certainly be captivated by the budget friendly Picanto which they can take home for as low as P590,000.
Kia Picanto comes in four variants: the Picanto 1.0 LX MT, 1.0 LX AT, 1.2 EX MT, and the 1.2 EX AT. We have listed down the specifications of its base and top variants so you can see for yourself if this vehicle will suit your lifestyle.
