The Kia Picanto three-door in September for all of Europe

Kia is struggling to keep pace with its parent company, Hyundai, which in turn holds a share of sales in Europe. The Picanto has sold quietly, although the Korean company is now looking to give the model a bit more momentum with the addition of a three-door version of the Picanto, which has been on show since May.

Its arrival on the European market will be quite soon, in early September, coinciding with the launch of the new generation Rio.

In essence it will be similar to its four- or five-door siblings, although the front will stand out more thanks to the grille framed in red or silver. The initial versions will be three, varying according to equipment.

The engines will not change and will be the same engines that Kia offers now in the other versions: a 1.0-litre engine and a 1.2-litre one, the latter featuring a Start/Stop system.

The price list would be as follows:

1.0i 69 CV Concept 3p 10,290 €
1.0i 69 CV Drive 3p 10,840 €
1.2i 85 CV Emotion 3p 12,290 €
