First pictures of new Picanto

Kia Motors Corporation has released the first official photos of the next generation Picanto city car.

Completely redesigned and re-engineered, the new car has grown in overall length and wheelbase.

While the current Picanto is available only as a five-door hatchback, the next generation version will be offered as a five-door globally while a sportier three-door body style will also be marketed in Europe.

The new Picanto will feature four all-new powertrains in 1.0 and 1.2 displacements.

The next generation Picanto will be officially unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show in March 2011.
