Picanto News: Facelift Picanto Unveiled At Barcelona

Though not a suprise to us, as our earlier post and various spy shots suggested, but Kia have upgraded the Picanto.

Due to be shown off at the forth coming Barcelona Motor Show, sporting a new bonnet, front wings and front and rear bumpers, the face-lifted Picanto will be 40 mm longer than the out going model.

As well as other changes including a redesigned grille (thank you) and new headlight clusters, the Picanto will also be available with new interior and exterior colours. Kia also announced the Picanto will have new audio equipment and power steering. This could mean iPod compatibility and speed sensing on the steering as is the norm these days.

As it's a facelift and not an all out new design, its unlikely we'll see a diesel Picanto anytime soon, although were going to have a good look under that bonnet to see if the changes are merely cosmetic.

And of course a new facelift Picanto only means one thing, great deals on the old model. Happy shopping.
