- This is the new 2017 KIA Picanto review and first impressions by the Car Buyers Guide Team. We're told that the new Kia Picanto will arrive in Ireland at the start of May 2017. The new car has an impressive new face, has a slightly longer wheel base, and a much improved interior.
Daragh Ó Tuama tested two engines at the international launch in Barcelona, the 1.0 and the 1.25 naturally aspirated petrol engines. These both come with 5-speed manual transmissions and the Irish market will also receive a 1.25 litre KIA Picanto with a 4-speed automatic transmission (unfortunately, we didn't get to drive this at the international launch).
The big news is that the new 2017 KIA Picanto will also be available with a 1.0-litre turbo engine. Unfortunately it is not ready yet for the market, but KIA Ireland has assured us that it will arrive in Ireland during the last quarter of 2017.
The 1.0-litre 66hp engine, as well as the 1.25-litre engine are both gutsy and nippy on flat roads. However, you will feel a struggle when climbing mountain or hilly roads.

Beautiful Car!
I like the video. There are some nice shots you don't find in other reviews (the instruments, the brown leather of the seats or the 3 generations of the KIA Picanto).
The new Korean mini car seems to be a very good car. I would even put it over the VW up!.
A friendly critical word about the video. The music is too loud, especially if the presenter is speaking at the same time. I hardly could understand a word sometimes. Don't tell me it's because I'm German. Yes, that's true, but I usually understand English very well.
+Christian Schumacher thanks for that Christian. You're right. We've started to change the music settings completely. In fact, we're testing no music at all in some of our more recent videos.
Car Buyers Guide Glad to hear that. A very good car channel is getting even better that way.
+Christian Schumacher thank you.
did you say picanto got a turbo engine this time?
+Bon Vincent Agbisit It should be available before the end of the year. We've been told September/October for Ireland.
OOPS! Only 17 mpg showing on the display, not the 48 mpg in the brochure!
But the 1.25L will average 36 mpg in normal driving.
Voice is too low. Can't hear what you are saying.
