  • Small Car with Big Convenience

    Driving the KIA Picanto makes life in the city really easy and comfortable for everyday commuting. Its compact size is way easy to spot at busy malls and office areas. It looks small but inside feels roomy enough for my little family and occasional road trips with friends. I like the engine, which is punchy for daily errands and very light on petrol. Air conditioning cools the cabin fast, which is a must on hot UAE afternoons. Picanto may look simple, but the controls are easy, and owning this car is just stress-free. It’s perfect for navigating traffic and short errands, especially for those who want practicality above all.

  • Superb comfort and convenience

    The Kia Picanto is a compact, smaller hatchback that has a lot inside at a very affordable price here in UAE. For example the awesome connectivity and convenience, provided with a 8.-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Kia's Connect features help with real-time traffic updates, parking information, and weather forecasts, amazing for such a small car. Then there is a 4.2-inch digital instrument cluster, USB-C ports for charging, and an optional wireless phone charger. Even though it is small in size, Picanto surprises with its 1,010 liters of boot space.

  • Compact city car

    If you want a lower budget but efficient car for your city driving, the Kia Picanto is the best option out there. It is stylish, with a great look, plenty of features and a reasonably well equipped cabin that promises comfort. I have been driving the 2024 variant of the car for the last 8 months for everyday office commute, and just loving it. The mileage is great, the driving and handling is perfect for its size and the features not missing either. Due to its compact size, it is very effortless to navigate in traffic, and has decent space inside the cabin.

  • One of the best small cars

    Kia Picanto is a city-focused small car that has made my daily commutes fuss-free. When I drove it for the first time, I was happy that I had made a good decision. It is the smallest offering in Kia's lineup, perfect for my small family. The best thing is that it is manageable even in tight spaces. It remains planted on the potholes and performs well even on the highways. Its compact dimensions and sharp and light steering enable precise inputs even at high speeds. The fuel efficiency is also good.

    This five seater hatchback car drew my attention on the very first day I had a glimpse of this. The car looks very cute due to its unique design. You will be overwhelmed to know that this car is pretty fuel efficient as well. The 1.2 litre 4 cylinder engine with dual CWT provides an outstanding performance that you will always admire.
