Kia Picanto 1.0 X-Line 5dr Petrol Hatchback, , The Kia Picanto 1.0 X-Line is a car thats not content just being a city runabout. Oh no. Its the small hatchback with a bit of attitude, a dash of flair, and the sort of personality you dont usually expect from something that looks like it was designed by an overenthusiastic pencil. But here it is, standing proud, as the little hatchback that thinks its a crossover. Under the bonnet, youll find a tiny 1.0-litre 3-cylinder engine. Yes, I know what youre thinkingHow can anything that small be any fun? But heres the surprise: Its actually quite punchy. The 67 horsepower wont win you any drag races, but around town, its perfect for darting in and out of traffic, squeezing into tight parking spots, and generally being as nimble as a squirrel on a caffeine rush. Its the sort of car that makes you feel like youre doing 100 mph, even when youre just in a queue of traffic at 30. Now, the X-Line trim is where the Picanto pulls ahead of the competition. With a raised suspension, some fake underbody cladding, and a pair of extra-stylish alloy wheels, it looks more like a miniature off-roader than a city car. Its as if Kia thought, Why not take a city car, give it the spirit of an adventurer, and watch it win over the masses? And I have to say, it works. Its cheeky, its bold, and its not afraid to wear its X-Line badge with pride. The Kia Picanto 1.0 X-Line is the hatchback for people who want a bit more than just a city car. Its got character, its fun to drive, and it doesnt take itself too seriously. Sure, it wont take you to the top of Everest, but itll get you to work, the shops, and on a weekend getaway with ease.
