Our verdict
Tested here is the 2022 model Kia Picanto GT-line 1.0 l petrol with a 5-speed manual transmission. This is a compact hatchback targeting consumers who require a small, fuel-efficient low-cost car capable of easily navigating around towns and cities. The 1.0 l gasoline engine is a suitable choice for this purpose, providing good fuel consumption values in a variety of driving conditions. Despite this, the fuel consumption performance could be further improved to further lower the CO2 output and improve the Greenhouse Gas Index results. The exhaust aftertreatment shows average performance with a general weakness in particle control and threshold-exceeding CO emissions in the high power demanding Highway Test. The fitment of a gasoline particle filter would help control particle number emissions during cold start, high load, and cold ambient conditions. Overall, the Kia Picanto GT-line 1.0 l performed well enough to warrant further robustness testing, and achieved an overall rating of 3 Green Stars and a Weighted Overall Index of 5.1 out of 10.
