2023 Kia Picanto 1.0 Petrol Hatchback

Description

I’m selling my 2023 Kia Picanto – it’s a bit of a gem in the compact hatchback category. It’s got a 1.0-litre petrol engine with 66 bhp and an automatic transmission, so it’s smooth to drive and doesn’t eat through the tank like some other little cars do.

The one thing I love about it is how it handles in the city – tight corners, narrow streets, no problem. It’s got that sleek silver finish, 15-inch alloy wheels, and a black grille with chrome trim. The bumpers and mirrors match the body colour, and the chrome handles give it a bit of polish without being flashy.

Inside, it’s not too flashy but feels comfortable. The steering wheel and gearshift have leather trim, and there’s a high-gloss lower trim that makes the cabin feel a bit more premium. The 8-inch screen has sat nav, Bluetooth, and supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – super handy for keeping music and maps on the go.

Safety features are solid: airbags, electronic stability control, ISOFIX for kids, and a reversing camera with dynamic guidelines. I’ve got cruise control with a speed limiter, automatic air conditioning, and rear parking sensors – useful when parking in tight spots.

It’s been well-maintained and I’ve only driven it for short trips mostly, so it’s still in great shape. The car is currently based in Stranraer, Dumfries and Galloway. I’m not sure if anyone else is looking, but if you’re interested, I’d be happy to chat.

Price is £13,045.50 – it’s a bit on the higher side for a used hatchback, but I’ve kept it running well and it’s been a reliable little car for daily use.
