Design and Features
Although draped in heavy camouflage, the following design elements suggest that it is Kia’s A-segment offering under wraps:
- Ascending window line
- Rear bumper accents
- Overall silhouette
Assumingly larger than its predecessor, the 2017 Kia Picanto is likely to feature a reworked grille and headlight setup, with Daytime Running Lights (DRL) being a possibility.
Interior Expectations
While it remains unclear whether Kia will stick with the existing platform or opt for something new, we can expect:
- Additions in terms of interior space and cargo room
- Larger dimensions indicating larger doors for easier ingress and egress
If rumors are to be believed, we can also expect:
- New instrument dials
- A new steering wheel
- Horizontal A/C vents located in a more conventional position
- Controls for the air-conditioning system moved lower to accommodate a larger storage area
Release Date
