Kia Picanto (2017-2026) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Decent-sized boot for a city car | Ride could be smoother |
| Long warranty from new | No electric version |
| Low running costs | Entry-level trim lacks key equipment |
Quick Summary
The Kia Picanto (2017-2026) is a funky-looking city car that delivers excellent value without sacrificing comfort or safety. This third-generation model offers a spacious interior with solid build quality, a 255-litre boot (expanding to 1,010 litres with rear seats folded), and good headroom for passengers. The steering is light and confidence-inspiring for town driving, whilst the ride quality is composed through bends. Early models benefit from a wider choice of engines, including a 1.0-litre (66bhp), 1.25-litre (83bhp), and a turbocharged 1.0-litre T-GDi (99bhp), though later versions are limited to the 1.0-litre petrol unit.
Running costs are impressively low, with real-world fuel economy around 50mpg from the smaller engine and similar figures from the larger unit on motorway-heavy driving. Insurance premiums are very affordable, sitting between groups 1 and 11 of 50. The Picanto has received two facelifts (2020 and 2024) to keep it fresh, with trim levels ranging from basic to well-equipped GT-Line S models featuring heated seats, wireless charging, and electric sunroofs. As a second-hand buy, the Picanto truly excels, offering excellent reliability, a transferable seven-year warranty, and a complete package that rivals struggle to match.
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical, reliable city car with low running costs, excellent warranty coverage, and solid build quality for urban commuting and small families.
Not ideal for: Those prioritising the smoothest ride quality, wanting an electric option, or requiring premium badge appeal and advanced driving dynamics.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kia Picanto | 4/5 | 4.5/5 | 34.2% | 4.3/5 |
| Hyundai i10 | 5/5 | 4.4/5 | 35.8% | 4.5/5 |
| Suzuki Celerio | 3/5 | 4.3/5 | 38.1% | 4.0/5 |
| Nissan Qashqai | 4/5 | 4.6/5 | 40.8% | 4.5/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the Picanto if: You're seeking an affordable, reliable city car with low running costs, excellent warranty coverage, and solid build quality for urban commuting and small families.
Consider alternatives if: You prioritise the smoothest ride quality, want an electric option, or require premium badge appeal and advanced driving dynamics.
Competitive Position: The Kia Picanto (2017-2026) is a strong contender in the city car segment, offering excellent value and a complete package that rivals struggle to match. Whilst the Hyundai i10 edges ahead with a slightly smoother ride and higher expert rating, the Picanto's long warranty, low running costs, and spacious interior make it a compelling choice for budget-conscious buyers. The Suzuki Celerio offers better value on the used market, but the Picanto delivers superior build quality and reliability. For those seeking a larger vehicle, the Nissan Qashqai provides more space, though at a higher price point.
