you stole my comment bro,lol worst part i scroll down n found it first at #1.im like wtf a picanto for 300k? wtf lol rather get clio 5 or almost two s-pressos lmaoo
Am I getting old or what. I remember a time where cars with 49kw engines were R120,000. You knew it was entry level but it was quality. Now you're paying R300k for a car with 2 airbags, 49kw and a low safety rating, its not clicking/making sense and I hope the car market is wary of the pricing cause if inflation doesn't go down, chief we're gonna see no sales of new models which is not gonna be nice. Sow rooms will be full of cars with no buyers. Solid launch review, short and sweet haha! Are you gonna go to Simola this year?
😂😂 kia forgetting that ,the small engine is working hard on highways to keep up ,as a result you use more fuel and work the engine harder than you should lowering it lifespan, I have a 2.0l mercedes and 1.3 mazda 2 which uses the same petrol amounts for my work from JHB to Pretoria commuting 😂
@@SwitchOffSouthAfrica If I may... when editing your audio. Apply a de-esser and de-clicker to reduce those clicking and punchy or strong "S" sounds when you speak. When RUclips compresses your video for uploading. It tends to make them more stronger and that can distort your video, if you're not careful of that.
I just found out that the GT line look will not be sold here in South Africa, this look in the video is the only style that we will get here. Additionally for the starting price of R260k is just insane. For a Picanto fan like myself, I'm sorry, I won't buy this expensive car. Suzuki will be my next car. #kia #kiasa #kiasouthafrica , you just lost a fan and a buyer. 😢
The entry level has so much in it as standard. It is not budget anymore. I will say this, the picanto is bigger inside than the polo vivo. I drove both and the picanto is better designed hence the bigger feel.
Sorry KIA too expensive ! I had a Sportage loved it but your pricing is totally out of line. Nice looking car but I would spend my R325K on a VW rather.
That is the price of a new Suzuki Baleno GLX manual or even a used Grand vitara or Fronx which are all “better” cars than the Picanto in all areas (size, specs & features)
Kia is over ambitious and ignorant. Who in their right mind will spend 300k on a Picanto? Even the pre face lift was pricey. You see how hyundai has improved the i10? Not that it justifies it's price but it has improved. I'd get a low mileage Polo Vivo GT, Polo TSI, Suzuki Baleno GLX manual, Kia Rio EX etc.. I can go on and on.
Suzuki will keep on topping the sales chats every month. That's all I'm gonna say 😅

😂😂😂 precisely!!
At this rate, probably the next generation Picanto will start at 450k😭
With that money I will always have SUZUKI BALENO GLX MANUAL on top of my options list... Angidlali kanjalo 😁
Nice little car priced right out of the market
I would go for Baleno gl manual
Kia surely doesn't miss when it comes to their built-in quality. 🔥
So we are slowly moving entry-level cars to mid-range. What's considered entry-level nowadays, a Pajaj? Aowa banna!
Renault Kwid which is under 170k
Facelifted grand i10 or polo vivo or swift
These manufacturers are simply pricing themselves out of market... People will eventually opt for cost effective brands out there...
Ola! For me I'll be looking at something older from VW, I won't settle for Polo vivo as the pricing and features don't make sense ✌🏾
I'd opt for the Suzuki Baleno...the Baleno is better value for your money and its engine will last longer than the picanto.
R325k ? I’m opting for the Suzuki Fronx GLX 😑😑
We no longer having entry level cars
Im not spending that amount on a Picanto, id opt for a 2nd Toyota Corolla 1.8 103KW

The new microphone is hurting the ears, it's like a sharp tweeter 😢😢
😭😭😭😭
This is why the used cars are in demand.
Bought my RunX in 2018 (140RS). Still running fine❤

KIA is doing exactly what the Germans have been doing 😂😂😂. We shall forget them soon😅. 300K for a 1.0 engine
We have a Picanto as a second car Melbourne Australia.
The first thing that needs to change on a facelift model is the rims but I see Kia is cheaping out yet again.
For all those say negative after price, you will be surprised and you will see alot of them on the road soon.😂😂😂
Will we get the GT-Line?
No😭😭😭😭
That’s a pity, it looks good though, but it’s pricing would’ve been insane 😅😅
No we won’t for now
Great review Nicky Nash🤟🏾😎
But as always, I'd get a for more better vehicle with that R260k, second hand low mileage
Thank you brother 🙏🏾

What😮😮😮😮😮😮
Never!!!
Thank you for the review brother man ❤❤❤❤
Speak slowly my guy,some words you say fly by 😂
I'd get a polo vivo gt

Looks good 🔥
Suzuki Baleno for me
The entry level has so much in it as standard. It is not budget anymore. I will say this, the picanto is bigger inside than the polo vivo. I drove both and the picanto is better designed hence the bigger feel.
I would only buy a Baleno GLX, anything else is just wasting money or just go for a second hand
I will do the same thing as you this car is too small for that price. Never I will look for something else.
For R260k Brand new Suzuki Baleno get my R13k change
For R325k Toyota Corolla 2.0xr with 50 000km / 1.2xs with less than 50 000km
bro toyota XR is legit legit worth the bag
😂😂 I love this because I'm a woman that believes in having change😂
@@kidiemetsikuzwayo5053 Yeah go for it
Aaah guys😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why?
Hold on.. isn't the Polo competing with the Kia Rio. Not the Kia Picanto
It is but Kia Rio is discounted.
😂😂😂😂325k for a picanto? Not the Rio?
Who's setting the prices maybe they made a silly error, cause awa 😮
Mara kia R325k for Picanto😢😢😢I brought my picanto for 😪R160k,and 2020 model ,With R325 i'd opt for Suzuki Fronx❤
Great choice I would take the Fronx too 💪🏾
I'd rather get a 2019 hyundai tucson
Thats literally suv money
Sorry KIA too expensive ! I had a Sportage loved it but your pricing is totally out of line. Nice looking car but I would spend my R325K on a VW rather.
Isn't this almost the same price as a Baleno GLX😂!?
Kia is gonna price themselves out of the market like the germans are doing
Yes it is
i would rather opt for a grand i10/ swift
Thats ridiculous. Even Suzuki celerio and vitz are ridiculously priced
That is the price of a new Suzuki Baleno GLX manual or even a used Grand vitara or Fronx which are all “better” cars than the Picanto in all areas (size, specs & features)
a picanto x line makes no sense for me, you buy a picanto because you need a car and not speed or sportiness.... this is a budget car after all....
Kia stop being a VW please 😂😂😂😂😂😂 that price, even Joseph in the bible would join Suzuki 🤣🤣🤣😂
This car is pricey I rather opt for Polo Vivo and bigger car also fuel saver
At these prices no thanks.
Polo tsi
Absolutely not! Especially in this economy.
If you're really need pikato ,just go for older ,just selling face lift
The back is ugly they messed up
Lights look robotic and that doesn’t look nice. No thank you. Previous model 🫡
260k😂😂😂😂

Yeeesh, what a waste at the top end
Haha you should not even get the previous model go get new cars for similar money 🫣#suzuki yeah🔥🫠
