Now on its 3rd-generation model, the Kia Picanto still bears the same youthful and energetic qualities, yet more cabin space due to the 15 mm increase in its wheelbase.

The new-generation Picanto is given an entire update on its exterior. The tiger-nose grille are now extended sll the way to the headlights, which pulls it closer to Kia's sportier models like the Rio and Forte. The headlights now look more agressive and sharper than the previous generation's rounded shape. Even the taillights were redesigned to wrap up its exterior refresh.

On the inside, the Picanto offers a more modern and refined interior ambience. It features a horizontal design that highlights the addeed space in the headroom, legroom, and shoulder room of the cabin. The rear seats can be folded to a 60:40 split ratio.

Kia didn’t touch the Picanto’s engine; it still runs on the same gasoline engines: a 1.0L 3-cylinder with a 5-speed MT and a 1.2L 4-cylinder with a 4-speed AT. What changed though was the improvement in balance and responsive driving experience, thanks to the chassis upgrade.

The all-new Kia Rio comes in a 5-door Hatchback form, adding a notch of class and style to its already catchy 4-door sedan version. Filipino hot-hatch enthusiast will love its simple, yet sporty and stylish exterior form, seamlessly integrating a rear hatch while not sacrificing design fluidity and photogenic-ness.

Being offered with exactly the same decent, convenient, and comfy interior amenities and space, with an extra bit of room at the back for small luggage and groceries, it’s a good choice for an entry-level family car as well.

With fuel-prices running up high here in the Philippines, the all-new Rio Hatchback’s 1.4L inline 4-Cylinder Kappa gasoline engine fares pretty well with enthusiasts and the local media, remarking it as a great option for saving fuel and lowering costs and maintenance. Possessing the same 4-Speed AT with Manual Mode and the same driver, passenger, and road safety equipment make the Kia Rio Hatchback just as great. Hot in form, hot in function.
