The Kia Picanto range has been tweaked, but now it's more expensive
Kia has announced changes to its Picanto city car range for the 2026 model year. The new line-up now matches the structure of the brand's larger models, being split into three trim levels. The Kia Picanto is one of only a few models of this size still on sale in the UK, fewer still being petrol-powered, and remains our favourite having recently won our 2025 Best City Car of the Year award.

It includes 14-inch alloy wheels and an eight-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There's also heated and folding exterior mirrors, reversing sensors and even a reversing camera as standard. The mid-range £17,845 GT-Line adds different styling, 16-inch wheels, privacy glass, upgraded cabin materials with leather-look trim on the seats, LED headlights and an LED front lightbar. Topping the range is the GT-Line S at £19,545, which adds in a sunroof and more advanced driver safety features including blind-spot monitoring. There's just one engine available across all three models, a 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine that produces 67bhp. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, but Kia also offers a five-speed automated-manual option for a £400 premium. Configure your perfect new Kia Picanto through our Find a Car service now.

There's a stillness, despite the crowd. Whatever music is playing, everyone seems deep in conversation, absorbed in their world.
