The staff here at KIA Motors South Africa have something to admit.

We love the original Picanto. We love the way it moves, the way it smells, the way it twinkles in the sun. We love it more than our pets. If our cars were our children, the Picanto would be the one we secretly love the most. And with thousands of Picanto’s on South Africa’s streets, we love the fact that you love them too.

So when we talk about the new Picanto, we get excited. And so should you.

The new Picanto has all the features that you love, like excellent mileage, sporty styling, and zippy performance, plus a whole bunch of brand new ones, like updated safety features and a CD player with MP3 compatibility.

Yes, if the original Picanto came with all the bells and whistles, the new Picanto comes with bells, whistles and an electric guitar in the back. And with a five year warranty as standard, we’re more than confident that we’ll be seeing these beauties on South Africa’s roads for a long time to come.

Of course, the million dollar question remains. Is it fun?

A day at the petting zoo is “fun”. Watching Chuck Norris save the world from terrorists is “fun”. The new Picanto is fun like you’ve never experienced before. It’s fun to the power of ten multiplied by infinity.

It’s fun, reinvented.
