JA MY21 GT-Line Hatchback 5dr Auto 4sp 1.25i Kia's top-selling micro-class Picanto five-door hatch competes with the likes of Fiat 500 and Mitsubishi Mirage. Mildly facelifted in late 2020, the Picanto a range comprises S, GT-Line and GT variants and is almost-Euro with its cheeky style, personable interior and a choice of two engines: a 62kW/122Nm 1.2-litre four-cylinder or, in the tighter-handling, larger-wheeled and turbocharged GT, a 74kW/172Nm 1.0-litre three-cylinder. There are two transmissions " the five-speed manual used across the range or a four-speed auto (unavailable in the GT). Autonomous emergency braking, four-wheel disc brakes, six airbags, cruise control and a multi-function control screen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity are standard. And don't forget Kia's exceptional seven-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty.

Front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger have been designed to protect the head during a frontal crash.

Overhead airbags are used to protect the occupant's heads in the event of a side collision or rollover.
