Kia Picanto SR7 2015 - pictures

Kia's Picanto has been a great city car for years, but age is beginning to catch up to it.

This costs £9,845 as tested.

This car has a 1.0-litre 3cyl petrol.

68bhp is produced by the engine. That should give you the power advantage over a slug or a tortoise if you need to overtake one.

These 14-inch alloys are a new addition to range, and mean you don’t need to sacrifice ride quality for style.

The Picanto offers reasonable rear-seat space, but three-door access is tricky.

The 200-litre boot is around 50 litres behind those of the Hyundai i10 and Skoda Citigo

Fuel economy is 67.3mpg.

Stop/start comes as standard on the manual 1.0-litre petrol in mid-range 2 spec, reducing CO2 emissions to a mere 95g/km

SR7 spec also gets tinted windows and automatic lights.
