Not a bad little car and I'm impressed like the owner that it has a lot of features that even German superminis don't have like the owners previous Audi A1 and my VW Up. Kia have stepped up their game and I can see by that with the design and amount of new cars I see on the road
I've got the 1 litre turbo version of one of these, it's a fantastic car that comes with so much tech. A tuning box has taken the power up to Abarth levels.
I live in Australia i own the 2019 picanto gt turbo same car but got a gt badge here in Aus. Been a great car I have done 35000km a tip but a bluespark tuning piggy back box and use premuim 98 ron fuel its makes the car into a little rocket. Im going to trade the little rocket in for a Suburu BRZ 2023 its time for a change while Im cashed up.
My wife has one of these in Australia and i have a Mazda Bt50 with the 3.0 l isuzu motor. I have owned high spec volvo t5 and others before but this car is so much fun and is like a gokart.
Tear off the badges, remove 80% of the feautures, remove half the warranty and put an audi badge on it and sell for 20% higher price and the badge snobs would say they are on a winner.
I was hoping to see bootspace and how back seats lay flat, and whether boot has adjustable floor and tethering points. Also curious to see how sunroof opens, tilt or slide electric or manual etc. Also be handy to see in glove box (if it has one?) But interesting video. I'm not a car expert, so I don't understand the significance of being able to pull away in 2nd gear. Can anyone explain why that's a good thing?
@2:25, the model you are reviewing is not the entry level. You don't get leather seats and all the bells and whistles you mentioned in a base model. @7:27, that's wild. I will be changing my car next year and the choice is between a Picanto or the a mk5 VW Polo. Arguably the Picanto would be a cheaper and better buy BUT the bumpy headlights completely spoil the line of the body for me. Silly, I know.
The wheel shakes over 80, the clutch is weak, had one slipping at only 20,000 miles crazy, the window demister is shit and the car likes to steam up all the time, you tend to have to boil yourself to see out the thing. However, perky little 1.2, great mpg, solid interior and hugging seats, heated options are lovely and apple car play is great.
'... the window demister is shit and the car likes to steam up all the time ...' That's disappointing to know. My clapped out 17 year old car does the same. Back to the drawing board?

The turbo picanto is good
The best
I own the same year model, same colour picanto GT in HK with auto transmission, it was fun, nimble and easy handling
