Question 1

Is a used Kia Picanto petrol ULEZ compliant?

Accepted Answer

Almost always. The ULEZ asks petrol cars to meet Euro 4, generally from 2006, and Picantos from the second generation on are well past that. Check an early first-generation car with TfL's vehicle checker.

Question 2

Which Kia Picanto petrol engine should I choose?

Accepted Answer

The 1.0 three-cylinder is the cheapest to run and suits town driving. The 1.25 four-cylinder is smoother on the motorway, and the 1.0 T-GDi turbo is the quickest Picanto.

Question 3

How much road tax does a used Kia Picanto pay?

Accepted Answer

A Picanto first registered from April 2017 pays the £200 standard rate. An earlier one pays by CO₂ band, and the 1.0 of 2011 to 2017 sits in one of the cheapest bands.

Question 4

Does Kia's warranty pass to the next owner of a Picanto?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kia's seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty runs from first registration and passes to each new keeper, so a young Picanto may still have years left. Check the start date in the service book.

Question 5

Which versions does the new Kia Picanto petrol come in?

Accepted Answer

The new Picanto has a 1.0 GDi petrol engine with 67 bhp, with a manual or an automated manual (AMT) gearbox. It comes in Pure, GT-Line and GT-Line S trims, each at its on-the-road price beside the used cars.
