Kia has offered a glimpse of the new third generation Picanto which will make its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

The all-new model – which was shown in Kia’s sports-inspired GT Line specification – has a stronger, more assertive stance with bolder body lines and subtly sculpted surfaces.

Move inside and the Picanto features a fresh new cabin design, with a “floating” touchscreen infotainment system at the heart of things, making the latest in-car technology available to driver and passengers.

It also boasts a longer wheelbase and there is more cabin and cargo space than many of its supermini rivals.

Kia says the new Picanto, which is one of the company’s best-selling models globally, will go on sale shortly after the Geneva event and prices will be announced prior to that.
