Lpg Autogas Version for New Picanto
Kia has redesigned and re-engineered its Picanto car, making it longer both in overall length and wheelbase, and will offer an lpg autogas version. Kia will unveil the new car at the Geneva International Motor Show in March 2011.
The next generation version will be available as a five-door globally, but a sportier three-door body will also be made available in the UK and European markets.
Kia’s chief design officer Peter Schreyer said: “In profile, the new Picanto features significant sculpting and a very prominent rising character line. The result is a layering of light and shadow and this breaks up the height, giving the car a more surefooted stance.”
The new Picanto will feature four new powertrains in 1.0 and 1.2-litres, available in a standard petrol engine and lpg autogas, bi-fuel and flex-fuel variations, depending on local market requirements. The exact timing of the car’s arrival in the UK market is yet to be decided.
