Should your next car be the impressive Kia Picanto?

Kia Picanto offers outstanding driving comfort and its design has received numerous awards. AutoUncle offers an impressive selection of 1,638 cars in the UK, each one gathered from an online marketplace or dealership website.

How much is a pre-owned Kia Picanto worth?

A used Kia Picanto costs between £2,750 for the cheapest variant and £17,895 for the latest and most well-equipped model on AutoUncle.

The cost of a pre-owned Kia Picanto is determined by several factors. Key contributing elements include the year, engine size and performance, fuel consumption, vehicle mileage and the level of equipment in the car.

For instance, a more recent model with lower mileage, or a luxury edition with a robust engine, usually garners a premium price than an earlier version with less equipment and higher mileage.

What equipment packages does the Kia Picanto offer?

When assessing the price tags of second-hand Kia Picanto cars, it is important that you only compare with the offers of cars with the same engine and trim level. If you don't, you may come to a wrong decision on which car to acquire.

Can I get the Kia Picanto with different fuel types?

The number one fuel selection for the Kia Picanto is petrol.

Kia Picanto fuel types:

• Kia Picanto petrol: 1,609 cars currently available with an average price of £10,261
• Kia Picanto diesel: 29 cars currently available with an average price of £11,310

Your current driving habit is a determining factor when it comes to picking a fuel type. How far do you tend to drive in a week? Are they mainly short trips, or do you often find yourself driving longer distances?

If you drive mostly short distances, range is not crucial - so electric, plug-in or petrol are obvious choices. For daily long journeys, electric cars make the most sense if you can charge easily. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. For very long daily driving without charging options, a diesel car can still be relevant. Bear in mind that diesel engines emitting high levels of pollution are not allowed in cities in a number of countries.

What kind of car is the Kia Picanto?
