Fresh Engine Choices

2011 kia picanto engine

Though the engines are humble, they for sure serve the purpose for the new Picanto. Buyers will have a choice of 1.0L and a 1.2L gasoline engine; basically same as what we see on the Hyundai i10.

Both the variants come with Kia’s class-leading CO2 emissions levels that are lesser than any of its rivals, helping make the world a better place to live!

Sources have it that the cleanest of Picanto engine this year, will not spew out anything more than 100g/km. Now with such an environment friendly emission, the model for sure is set to rock the go-greener segment of users.

Total of 4 engine variants is what teh brand promises with the 2011 Picanto edition. Along with a regular petrol engine, we are also likely to see LPG, bi-fuel and flex-fuel versions this year.

Drivetrain Options

Depending on the engine specifications, a five speed manual or a four speed automatic gearbox will be offered.

profileThe drive was stable and controlled with a lot more power in the Kappa 1.0 engine than I would have guessed. I even couldn’t recognize that I’m driving A-segment. The noise level in the cabin was low and vastly improved upon.

Here’s a video clip we recorded to show you the engine room and Kappa engine’s sound.

It was a great ride and we hope you all enjoy the driving experience with the all-new Picanto as much as I did – once it becomes available in your countries. The next generation Picanto will be officially unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show in March 2011. Here’s a quick video of our drive around town!
