The all-new Kia Picanto 2012

Last month, the 2012 model of the Kia Picanto was released here in the Philippines. With the new look and features, let's see what this Picanto has to offer to us:

The design and looks of the interior on the 2012 kia picanto is much improved. Comparing to the one I have, The engine displacement is much lower (1.0 vs. 1.1) and it look much smaller. This new model will be more fuel efficient especially on a minimal load. It is priced much lower than before at 550K for the manual and 595K for the automatic version.
