Kia has released the first renderings of the all-new Picanto, which is set to be fully revealed early in 2017. The sketches show the first design details of the third-generation of one of Kia’s best-selling cars.

The company says the new Picanto combines a youthful and energetic new exterior and interior design with greater potential for customer personalisation, inside and out, while conveying a more assertive stance through bolder body lines and a vibrant colour palette.

Kia also says that the car’s suite of high-tech comfort, convenience and safety features is underscored by a modern and refined new cabin design, with smarter packaging efficiency than ever before.

There’s no mention of engine options so far. The current Picanto is petrol-only in the UK but diesels have been offered in some markets in the past.
