Kia Picanto

Korean automaker Kia has announced that the new facelifted Picanto (badged as the Morning in domestic market) will make its public debut at the Barcelona International Motor Show on June 7th.

The new car is more rounded, with all-new front panels and a hood that has been extended and curved. A new radiator grille - which features a black mesh background and twin horizontal chromed bars supporting the central Kia badge - is claimed to be the new 'face' of Kia. The new front and rear light clusters continue the rounded and smoothed theme of the bodywork, and the front and rear bumpers are now larger and deeper.

Measuring 3535mm long, 1595mm wide and 1480mm high, the refreshed Picanto is 40mm longer than its predecessor but retains its forebear's 2370mm wheelbase. The new Picanto will be available with three engines when it goes on sale from December.
