    The front and rear bumpers have been redesigned, as well as the brand’s signature tiger nose grill. A new 14-inch wheel design is now available along with an optional Sport Pack that further enhances the appearance of the Picanto according to the Korean automaker.

    Inside, new chrome accents adorn the air vents and instrument panel while a newly-designed fascia surrounds the Picanto’s infotainment system. Three interior color packs will be available for the updated Picanto: the Yellow, Red and Brown Pack. Other optional equipment available for the new Picanto include cruise control and a speed limiter system.

    Those who prefer better stopping power for the updated Picanto can avail bigger front brakes that measure 252mm compared to 241mm stock disc rotors. The larger rotors can stop the Picanto from 100 km/h to 0 km/h in just 37 meters, 2 meters shorter than stock brakes. The 1.0-liter Kappa II engine gets minor modifications to meet Euro 6 emission standards.

    The 2015 Kia Picanto will go on sale across Europe first by the end of March 2015.
