Kia Picanto

The Kia Picanto, Kia also Morning ( Hangul: 기아 모닝 ) is a five-door, from the second generation also three-door, four-seat ( in the import version five-seater ) micro-car hatchback of the South Korean car manufacturer KIA Motors.

First generation (2004-2011)

Kia Picanto (2004-2007)

The introduction in Germany in April 2004. The model name in Korea is Morning ( morning ). There are two available trim levels: the LX and the better -equipped EX version. According to the manufacturer, the vehicle has the largest interior in its class. In Germany with two different engines to choose from: one petrol and one diesel engine. In December 2007 he received a facelift. With this, the diesel variant disappeared from the program.

Description

The car won many comparison tests against direct competitors, such as the Fiat Panda. But even against somewhat larger cars such as the VW Polo, he was in a test of Auto Bild a victory. In all tests, brakes, suspension, workmanship, material and space were highly praised ( in the rear ), the trunk size was, however, with only 105/127 liters no applause. The ADAC concluded his test with the words: " highly recommended ". An approximately equal -equipped Volkswagen Fox (there is but only as a three-door ) costs at list price 3,500 € more than a Picanto EX. Therefore, the Picanto was often referred to as a price cutter. The aggressive pricing KIAS is apparently due to attempts to increase its market share in Germany. As a rule, the customer often pays significantly less than the list price at KIA.

Kia Picanto (2007-2011)

Rear of the revised Picanto

History

The predecessor of the KIA Picanto KIA was the Pride (1989 to 2000). In contrast to the Pride, there is the Picanto not in a wagon version. To launch in Germany, which took place simultaneously with the first movie of the cartoon character Garfield, some demonstration were provided with large stickers Garfield; three of them were drawn by FOX in Germany. KIA offered this sticker set for the price of 200 € (incl. attachment ) to private customers for upgrading.

Design

In the Development Center Rüsselsheim the body form being ( the chief designer in Korea Kang Lee was ) co-developed in order to better adapt it to the European taste. Likewise, the chassis underwent a bit of tuning, which is the local market and buyers meet. Rüsselsheim developed the three-cylinder diesel engine independently in the " diesel center of excellence ".

The design is based on the contemporary European small cars and differs largely only in the sidelines of its competitors.

• Fall on the oversized, recessed clear glass headlamps with integrated turn signals and the oval, integrated in the bumper and slightly protruding grille at the front. These attributes give the car the typical " Kindchengesicht " this class. In this he resembles the Citroen C2 or the Ford Fiesta.

• The lateral line is quite far raised and terminates at the rear with a " pelvic thrust " as was common in the last 1960s, but is also used in the early 21st century by the car designers like to again. This feature divides the Picanto with the BMW X3 and the Hyundai Santa Fe.

• The gently sloping stern with the extremely short Radüberhang, the large clear glass light units and the black-filled rear window can be found in similar form in the Citroen C2 or Chevrolet Kalos again.

Target groups

Primary KIA has - as is usual in this class - set to the female target group. By running as a five-door vehicle, the Picanto is also in young mothers encouragement, which can put their children comfortable even in the rear seats. The relatively sporty appearance in design, interior and driving behavior opens up the young male buyers. All buyers have a common cost-consciousness, which they then put on the image.

Facelifts

Reliability -relevant changes can be found here.

• January 2008

In this model refinement of the car was given spotlights in the form of drops, as well as simultaneously the Suzuki Alto and Opel Agila got after it was released in 2003 with the Nissan Micra. Also, the tail lights were molded rings, where previously ran smooth lines. Such now shows the center console, the smoother shape looks tidier. However, two shelves, a greater under the now twice the radio, as well as the left of the steering wheel disappeared through local mounting of the headlight range control.

The grille was smaller, honeycomb and chrome traversed in the top furnishings. Behind it worked in only a few countries, the diesel, which on re-imports but further took to Germany. Otherwise unchanged gasoline engines were to be found. The top features Cool man acknowledges turn signals in the side mirrors.

Security side, there was a relevant complement the ESP become available. It had to be ordered in any equipment that in the base, it was not available: Picanto Attract have like three quarters of the micro car from 2010 does not have ESP. This also explains why the ESP was EU-wide mandatory on newly imagined models in November 2011. The Attract be missing rear disc brakes, because these were only fitted with the ESP. A comparative test of the respective braking distances did not take place, but this does not necessarily extend drum brakes. In addition, the Attract contains no side airbags as the only German equipping the story. His price was the entry-level version of LX in 2004 still the same: 8700 euros.

Comfort side, found a USB connection to the vehicle, at least in the top furnishings Cool ( → Equipment ). MP3 CDs played on the radio since 2004, in 2005 it became standard. The navigation system is now portable and came not from Becker, but Clarion. Vehicles equipped are rare, as is the purely optical effect sports package. Outside it darkened headlights and aprons, interior framed indicated tubes in aluminum look the instruments. Genuine aluminum were the pedals.

Has now steered with electric power assistance. The electric motor supports only actual steering operations while a hydraulic oil pressure consistently for possible steering maneuver builds. The new steering system evaluates the ADAC better than the hydraulic (Grade 3.1 to 3.7 ). The electronics can build an artificial steering resistance, which gives more stability at high speeds. However, the steering wheel was the cee'd design, its leather cover criticism due to its low skid resistance. This brings to Attract its reduced equipment an advantage.

And ... at the rear.

• June 2009

This facelift was initially South Korea and Vietnam reserved, in the following summer of 2010, it reached Europe, Germany in November. Primarily, they made ​​dynamic optics, in detail, she lifted her comfort: the first time a reversing camera (display in the rearview mirror ) and an automatic climate control were available. Black and silver rims, vertical fog lights, tinted lights and a suggested "Tiger Nose" were the external marks the top furnishings, now a folding key granted access. Inside was a full leather fittings in black or cream-colored stock. Another innovation was standard and was the only equal in the export: the steering wheel in the optics of the Soul. Discoverable, this model update based on the new equipment Vision and Spirit, which replaced the previous ..

And ... medium variant (with optional wheels ).

Heck ( normally fitted )

Heck ( Topausstattung )

• January 2010

Since the beginning of 2010 newly licensed in Europe Kia 7 -Year Manufacturer Warranty obtained ( details).

• November 2010

For the model year 2011, the ESP was standard in Germany and the Ottomoter reached EUR 5 Up to leather trim and reversing camera all the elements of the facelift in 2009 were in Europe now available, as in the German top-line Spirit, in which only the dark lights and two-tone wheels remained optional.

Crash Test

Only three stars ( out of five ) for occupant safety reach the Picanto the year of construction 2004 EuroNCAP crash test 11/2004 (as well as the o a Fiat Panda ). The result of child protection was better with four of five stars.

The results in detail:

When serious deficiencies were considered: the brake pedal and steering wheel pushed in the direction of the interior; hard parts behind the dash hazard to personal safety; despite pretensioners and limiters increased loads on the chest were noted.

Reliability

In a comprehensive survey of 67,000 vehicles selected in 2010 readers of the magazine " Which? Car " the Picanto model years 2007-2009 the most reliable model. Results of the earlier model years remained before the consumer organization of the print edition. Queries were glitches, errors and unpleasant, but inconsequential features such as squeaks.

J. D. Power surveys on the years of construction from 2006 to 2011 show a segment usual, constant reliability of the mechanism. The interior was transformed into under - above average by, body and paint were the segment most consistently. In the survey of 2012, the mechanics gained the top grade. Reviewed one - to three-year vehicles were 17,000 British car owners respectively.

This is confirmed by the DEKRA Used Car Report. Its advantage lies in statements about the long-term durability. He shares an inseparable in model years, but driving performance. In the class of 100,000 km, the body, frame and interior defect rate is only one- fifth of the other mini-cars. The drive and exhaust problems are 40 % less likely than usual class. Back to top of the Picanto is different from but in the braking power. Here calipers and discs 30 % more likely than other mini-cars are worn out. For this, the segmentunübliche highway use could help. Most common are of 100,000 km, the electrical and light defects. Every other car has it, the Picanto with 54% slightly more often than the usual class 48%. In the three defect categories (none, low, significant ) it shows slightly better results than the other mini-cars.

In the overall satisfaction of the ADAC established in 2012 earnings slightly above the middle class. This was not explicitly asked about the reliability, but asks to 2010 from the comfort to the economy, the general perception of owners of the vintages 2008. All microcars were doing classified between 50 and 70 on a scale of 100.

The following defects are typical vehicle.

ABS rings ( prior to 2006)

Infrequently, to cracked ABS rings. These gears rotate with the wheel axles. Your change from depression and increase allows inductive speed determination. A cracked ring leads to different results on the same axle. The ABS suspected slipping and starts to control - for no apparent reason. Due to the small difference in the speeds even the ABS noise sounds unusual, it is usually heard with gentle braking at 20 km / h In implausibly large differences, finally, the ABS warning light appears. Basis of the problem is corrosion. It leads to easier expansion of the Rings and overloaded sameness.

Motors

By the fall of 2006 contained the drive components that were installed too soft or at the wrong level and thus caused problems in some vehicles.

• Gasoline engines ( until autumn 2006 )

The Zahnriemenstirnrad may slightly get the game in certain copies. The consequences are worse starting, rough idle and loss of power. Thus, the components wear out prematurely, in rare cases reported of engine damage. Affected the chassis number range of KNEBA243 # 4T000001 to KNEBA243 # 5T168738 is (produced by autumn 2006 ). Recognizable is the problem of a black instead of silver fastening screw on the spur of the crankshaft. It is 5mm too short, so that the work the thread may have been damaged by the proposed tightening force. Thus, it takes insufficient, the cylindrical pinion can move easily and not continue the timing belt exactly. Thus, the revolutions of the crankshaft no longer match those of the camshaft. The fastening screw is best seen from the wheelhouse of the passenger side. On the side is the drive belt for the various aggregates. The defect was usually during an inspection automatically eliminated by replacing the screw and recorded in the service book and guarantee system of the manufacturer. The error is noticed mostly within the first 50,000 km mileage. For short-range use is not achieved until long after the former warranty period of three years. Nevertheless, the manufacturer is accommodating in cost sharing. Failing the screws change at above, audible problems, get gear and crankshaft another game.

• Diesel engines ( pre-2007 )

The 1.1 L three-cylinder contained by the end of 2006 materials in the transmission that led to his premature wear ( details). There is no problem on vehicles equipped with the new transmission.

Rust

Driver report of four rust -prone areas. The affected parts were swapped from KIA on request, even for purely cosmetic rust. However, since a recall failed to for three of the sites, it can continue to provide vehicles with these rust spots. Here take an appropriate examination. The contractually guaranteed, six-year warranty against corrosion breakthrough includes very few cases, as with all manufacturers.

The Swedish National Research Institute Swerea KIMAB examined the joints at the 30 best-selling vehicles in Scandinavia the model years 2004 and 2005. Ordered the Picanto it into the final group. The condition was tested after three years of normal use. The only small car alongside the Picanto was the Nissan Micra with a very good result for the type K12 launched in 2003. Its predecessor K11 showed a median result. Statistics for later years of construction are not public, but complaints from drivers can be found only for the construction period before the summer of 2007. This is consistent with the statistics, they assess the body from 2006 very well.

• Crossbeam

Frequently rusted before 2006 the upper cross bar between the engine compartment and intake below the rubber seal. When verifying caution is advised because the sheet metal used is sharp-edged. It was obviously not deburred before installation, whereby the paint does not bond perfectly. In the surrounding rubber seal to the water at the point now unpainted, which forms after a short -term rust accumulates. The part was replaced under warranty frame.

• Seat bolts

By the summer of 2007 may rust screws were inserted into the guide rails of the seats. This has been fixed permanently, rostbeständigeren by the exchange for the future, as necessary, including the guide rails. Alternatively, a seal would be possible after removal of rust.

• Lever for opening the fuel cap

By the summer of 2007 also tended the lever next to the driver's seat, which opens the fuel cap to rust. The purely cosmetic defect was remedied by replacing, but since the material remained the same, a sanding and painting with rust paint is alternatively possible.

• Rear seat backrests

Light surface rust was until the summer of 2006 to the rear seat backrests. It is only visible if you open the zippers of the ( removable ) references. A harmless inactivity, its elimination should communicate with his dealership.

Deck Fills

A seal on the tank inlet could become brittle at very salty spray and thus can leak fuel. The problem was fixed by a recall in 2010, were affected Picantos the construction period October 13 2009 to 8 February 2010. The action was recorded in the service book and electronic guarantee system KIAS.

Bleached capping strips (before 2005)

In the models by the end of Year 2004, it may happen that the black rubber strips greyish below the side windows and stained. This is a defect which is id R. eliminated based on warranty. Later models were given a softer, more weather-resistant material.

Immobilizer ( before 2007 )

Some Picanto jumped only to start after several attempts. Here the antenna immobilizer was faulty. It receives from the ignition key to the vehicle-specific code, and then the ignition and fuel supply free. The antenna is built in a ring around the ignition switch and was supplied as part of the engine management system from Bosch.

Screech

At extremely low temperatures (below minus 10 degrees) is occasionally a shriek from the engine compartment to hear when starting. However, the noise disappears after a few seconds. The cause may be the starter. The vehicle should spend for examination by the dealership there one night during severe frost.

Squeak (before 2005)

A squeak on the rear axle sounded by some by parked, cold and wet night. This squeaking usually disappears after the first, the brakes slightly. The error is known KIA, workshops replace the rear brake pads that easily swelled by the moisture, free from.

Group affinities

The Hyundai Getz the parent company Hyundai shares with the Picanto numerous technical details. Thus, the gasoline engines from the Hyundai - shelf, the diesel engine was derived, however, the opposite way: from KIA to Hyundai.

Engines

• Note: The fuel consumption and emission figures vary depending on the tires. The curb weight varies according to equipment.

Gas drive

The 1.1 liter gasoline engine can be converted to LPG ( liquefied petroleum gas, LPG). The gas tank has its place in the spare wheel well, the gas tank filler neck fits right next to the tank opening under the cap and is therefore not visible from the outside. The level indicator for the gas supply can be placed in the shelf under the radio.

Second generation ( since 2011 )

Kia Picanto five-door ( since 2011 )

Although he does not reach optimum values ​​, the standard consumption of 4.4 l/100 km half a liter is actually below the average of comparable engines in published since 2010 microcar. Is reported here for the first time the consumption- increasing effect of larger wheels. The 15 " aluminum wheels, the top equipment therefore consume 0.2 liters more than the 14 -. , And 13 -inch wheels base are the larger rotating masses (see cause), which are used especially in braking and acceleration processes for carrying Thus causing. However, a 10 -inch tires, a halving of the mature -related consumption. Such sizes require a custom vehicle design, conceivable, eg, for future electric vehicles.

The first and second generation rear view

Landing gear

The suspension was evaluated in reviews of the first generation as a strength of the vehicle, which is why his concept was retained. In front, a higher caster angle is now the straight stabilize the rear trailing arm bushings have been enlarged for the purpose of greater stability. To reduce the understeer tendency, the rear axle 60 is now adjusted percent firmer. The springs were completely soft and allow shorter bump stops a longer suspension travel to accommodate the large urban road conditions. The turning circle is now 15 cm less than 9.80 meters.

Security

The manufacturer describes the not -to-date security of the first generation as one of those weak points. Cause was the then focus on a cost-cutting production. The second generation, therefore, for the first time includes curtain airbags, as well - only in the European top equipment - a driver 's knee airbag. A premiere in the small car segment, which follows the world's first knee airbag in the Sportage in 1994. However, neither was followed by his successor, other models of the manufacturer this example - until the Picanto. Meanwhile, drivers door window and the optional glass roof now got a pinch. During emergency braking, the brake lights also flash three times. All vehicles with ESP also receive other rear disc brakes. The ESP is available as an option, however, until the mid-level equipment. Two months after the launch of the three-door model, it became compulsory for Model premieres, starting in November 2014, must include any new registrations. Active head restraints in the front seats are included only in the top furnishings. Special effort paved the developers to fulfill the stringent pedestrian protection in the EU - NCAP test since 2010. Therefore suv similarly steep front contains an offset bonnet lock and is the area in front of the windscreen deformable. In addition, the lower cross member passes now a rotation of the pedestrian to protect the knees. The body has been completely redeveloped.

Euro NCAP

Adults: 86 %

The fifth star is missing from the Picanto because of its assistance systems, while the occupant protection between "good" and "acceptable " shimmers. The exceptions are the rear-end collision and the chest area in the stake test. Here reached the car " marginal " protection, the average of the five rating levels. From the class-leading protection sets him apart the rear-end collision, this completed the platform Trio Seat Mii, Skoda Citigo and VW up! "Good". How the Picanto containing the test car no active headrests.

The frontal test simulates two 55- km / h, the same heavy vehicles who are hit on the driver's side. This coincides, according to Euro NCAP from the front half of real collisions. However, the equilibrium reduces the explanatory power of a segment. For the growing proportion of lighter car tests would be interesting with heavier models, as well as the far left out of consideration supporting body parts. This should be an incoming vehicle support, distribute its load on the vehicle front, but avoid point loads. Such had an exemplarily tested by ADAC SUV, its mounted in the direction of travel steel beams pushed their undeformed into the oncoming crush zone. Such " incompatible " structures are from 2015 lead to the devaluation, the current test method called the Euro NCAP as deficient. The other NCAP tests are already comparable in all weight classes. So a small car same barrier at 50 km / h pushed to the supporting A- and B- pillars of the vehicle about side always. This best-case situation is approximated by 2015 as at actuarially more common constellations.

Children: 83 %

The children's safety is measured in the course of the above tests and greatly achieved with the Picanto the best possible rating. Exception is the " 3-year " dummy whose chest area experiences moderate loads in the frontal crash ( 9.6 out of 12 points ). Significantly fewer points were given Suzuki Alto and Fiat Panda, invariably afford good protection Nissan Micra and the trio Mii, Citigo and up! in the tested situations. For seat mounting instructions and the Picanto gets the highest score segment, providing the most points of all child protection microcar.

Pedestrian: 47%

The expenses in the bumper design were effective, but the rising hood provides little protection for pedestrians. The Nissan Micra offers more in the head region, the Suzuki Alto there and the leg less protection. Otherwise, the Picanto is like exactly the other microcars 2011. Were tested an adult and a child dummy. With the streamlined from 2012 rating 60 % are a precondition for five stars in this category.

Security Assistant: 43%

Points received three safety systems, provided they are fitted by a majority. The ESP will only appear in higher Picanto lines and is no longer necessary, as well as the speed limiter, the segment is not widely available. With this one car signaled acoustically a driver- defined maximum or actively prevents their crossing. Thus, only the seat belt reminders remain as a point source, it contains every Picanto around. More wizard about to change lanes or keep distance are not awarded points, but the "Beyond NCAP Award". As the first micro car got him the VW up! for its City Emergency Brake Assist. Below 30 km / h brakes to the model of obstacles, below 20 km / h, this can avoid collisions. It is available in "drive pack plus" for 590 euros. This suggested the Euro NCAP produced in the majority of the model.

Warranty

Like all European KIA models since 2010 also receives the Picanto a seven-year warranty, which is automatically transferred to subsequent owners. It is, however, limited by the third year to 150,000 km. Requirement also is a timely and complete maintenance after the manufacturer's specifications (see details). The paint warranty is five, the anti-perforation now 12 years old. However, the latter covers only very few cases of rust as with all vehicles.

Design and equipment

The equipment has been designated by the manufacturer in addition to safety as a weak point of the first generation. The second edition is now, however, achieve even greater buyer vehicle segments in which it provides its features. The exterior designer Kee Hong Park put this to the designs of the KIA chief designer Peter Schreyer. While the LED turn signals in the side mirrors and are not available in Germany about LED daytime running lights and taillights serve the mediation of high quality, to protect folding chrome strap door handles and the fingernails of some customers, the change from. Through its design, but is also increasingly find male clients, especially the three-door. To adjust the sound development of the development goal, the bearings of the engine and gearbox mounting the door seals were enlarged, two-layer and three-layer running the motor insulation. Outside generate the mirror now less turbulence, as is the reason backwards offset antenna.

The rear seat is in two parts ( one 40, the other 60 % wide) folded and can not be moved as in the predecessor to the front for storage space magnification. This offer only a few vehicles of this size, including Daihatsu Cuore and Fiat Panda. The trunk grew to 53 cm depth and 1 meter width, the removable boot cover is 56 cm in height. Among them are now 200 liters of storage space.

Driver Supportive Hill Start Assist, electrically anklappende mirrors and a light automatic are available, parking sensors are not mentioned in the German facilities so far, are in other countries, but available. In the steering wheel controls for the radio and a Bluetooth hands-free for call acceptance and rejection are integrated surcharge. A voice command is not contained.

A SmartKey opens surcharge the doors when approaching the vehicle, the engine is started in this equipment via a start button.

Inside, in addition to optional seat and steering wheel heating included an equipment -dependent number of racks and a standard- make-up mirror, flanked on both sides by LEDs that address in the style of an airport runway one after another.

The interior is cooled in the European base equipment only with external air, about air conditioning is either standard (eg in Austria ) or with an additive package for mid-level equipment ordered (eg: Germany ). An automatic climate control is only possible in the Topausstattungen, and partly there bound to an additional package ( Germany ).

Color next to a black and black - dark gray and a light - gray interior is proposed, whose seats are optionally equipped with red, light gray or black faux leather that just such a substance on the backrest and seat edged - with the latter two colors with a contrast stripe in between.

Motors

There are three engines: two petrol and one that can be fueled with both petrol and LPG ( LPG). This model has a 27 -liter LPG tank, which provides for standard consumption for over 400 km range. Together with the 35 - liter petrol tank could be achieved a range of well over 1,000 kilometers. The LPG system is not a retrofit kit but a factory-fitted equipment.
