Used Kia Picanto for Sale

Why Buy a Used Kia Picanto?

The Picanto shows that a city car needn't be an afterthought. Sharp, confident styling, a surprisingly roomy cabin and a strong reputation for dependability have made it one of the most likeable small cars on the road, and a reassuring choice on the used market.

Buying used makes an already affordable car even better value. With the first owner having taken the early depreciation, a well-equipped, easy-to-run city car becomes very affordable, backed by Kia's renowned reliability and its lengthy original warranty, which transfers to you where it still applies.

Every Picanto at Vertu is prepared and checked before it reaches the forecourt. For a used city car with genuine style and low costs, the Picanto is a smart choice.

Is the Used Kia Picanto a Good Buy?

Yes, particularly for city and short-commute drivers who want low costs and easy driving. The current Picanto is powered by a 1.0-litre petrol engine producing 68bhp, offered with a five-speed manual or automated manual gearbox, returning up to 52.3mpg.

Its compact dimensions and tight 9.4-metre turning circle make it exceptionally easy to park and manoeuvre, while a generous safety package including forward collision avoidance, lane keep assist and intelligent speed limit assist comes as standard. Higher GT-Line grades add sporty styling and extra equipment.

Every used Picanto sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt as part of our used car preparation process, covering no outstanding finance, no history as a taxi, and no salvage or write-off record. With that preparation and any remaining warranty, a used Picanto is a low-risk, low-cost small-car buy.

Who Is the Used Kia Picanto Best For?

The Picanto suits several kinds of buyer. The table below pairs four of them with the version that fits best.

What Is It Like to Own a Kia Picanto?

The Picanto is easy and inexpensive to live with, and better equipped than many city cars. Every version comes with an 8-inch touchscreen with navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 4.2-inch driver display and free Kia Connect services, while higher trims add heated seats, a wireless charger and a sunroof.

Despite its compact size, the Picanto offers five seats and a 255-litre boot, competitive for the class, rising to 1,010 litres with the rear seats folded. A strong safety package including forward collision avoidance and lane keep assist comes as standard, with higher grades adding blind spot monitoring.

Running costs stay low thanks to the efficient petrol engine and Kia's affordable servicing. Once a Picanto reaches Vertu it is inspected and prepared by our technicians before sale, and servicing it through Vertu's Kia-trained colleagues helps protect any warranty still in place.

Kia Picanto Trims and Specifications

The current Picanto range spans Pure, GT-Line and GT-Line S. The table below sets out how equipment builds across the three grades.

These details reflect the current specification. The Picanto has been sold across more than one generation, so used examples from earlier years carry different trim names and equipment, including older numbered grades and X-Line versions, so confirm the specification of any specific car with your local dealership.

*Equipment shown reflects the current specification and is typical rather than guaranteed on any specific car. Availability varies by model year, trim and options fitted when new.

Kia Picanto Engine and Performance

The current used Picanto is powered by a 1.0-litre petrol engine, with a choice of manual or automated manual gearboxes. The table below sets out the key figures from the current specification.

Earlier used Picanto models across previous generations were offered with other petrol engines, including a turbocharged version, so the used choice may be wider than shown here.

*Figures are drawn from Kia's current UK specification data and reflect the 14-inch Pure grade; GT-Line and GT-Line S figures differ slightly on their 16-inch wheels. Actual economy and performance vary with weather, driving style, load and conditions, and used examples from other model years will differ.
