Euro-spec 2017 Kia Picanto spotted in Portugal

The European version debuts at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show next month, but weeks prior, Autoblog.gr has published live images of the car clicked at a parking facility in Portugal.

The 2017 Kia Picanto features an evolutionary design with a more aggressive styling. On the outside, the all-new Picanto features headlamps with LED lighting, new Tiger Nose grille, wider lower grille, redesigned bumpers, a more raked back glass and new design wheels. 11 exterior colour choices will be available.

Being 3,595 mm-long, the all-new Kia Picanto has not grown in length, but its wheelbase has stretched by 15 mm to 2,400 mm. On the inside, the 2017 Kia Picanto features a new three-spoke steering wheel and redesigned dashboard, instrument panel, centre console and HVAC vents. There's a new free-standing infotainment system with navigation and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration compatibility.

The 2017 Kia Picanto is expected with a 65 bhp 1.0-litre three-cylinder and 85 bhp 1.25-litre four-cylinder engines from the Hyundai i10 and the 99 bhp 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine from the 2017 Kia Rio.

The all-new Picanto will go on sale in Europe at the end of Q3 2017.
