Picanto News: Facelift Picanto Update

Kia have confirmed that the clear plastic lenses visible on the facelift Picanto wing mirrors are in fact indicator lenses, well spotted Kevin.

Although a Kia source did say that it will possibly be an option on the top of the range models and final specifications are yet be finalised for the UK.

On the subject of specification, a European website is reporting that a roof spoiler will be standard across the range, which extends across the full width of the car. Again we will have to wait and see.

In the meantime we'll keep the site posted with new information as and when it arrives.

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.
