Our take on this /// Verdict

The Kia Picanto Petrol 1.0 is a solid contender in the city car segment, though it has its share of pros and cons. On the positive side, it offers decent looks, good handling, and is cheap to run, making it an excellent choice for everyday urban driving. The interior, while not overly sophisticated, is well-packaged and features a quality steering wheel and essential amenities like electric windows, aircon, and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system. However, the cars price has increased significantly, making it less of a bargain than it once was. Additionally, the service plan, which is limited to 2 years or 30,000 km, feels somewhat inadequate. Despite these drawbacks, the Picanto remains a fun, frugal, and reliable option for those seeking a hassle-free city car.

Price

The Kia Picanto is not yet officially launched in India, but based on expected pricing, it is anticipated to start around 7 lakh for the base model. This price point positions it competitively against other hatchbacks like the Tata Tiago, Maruti S-Presso, and Renault KWID. However, the on-road price could be slightly higher, likely in the range of 7.5 to 8 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. While the price is reasonable, its important to consider that the Picantos value proposition may be slightly diminished by its higher pricing compared to some of its competitors.
