South Korean company KIA
Motors Corporation demonstrated a new production model Picanto X-Line. It is a
compact crossover built on the basis of KIA Picanto.
The car received a new
suspension with a 15 mm increase in ground clearance, a proprietary radiator
grille "tiger nose", a plastic weather cloth, reinforced bumpers and
underbody metal protection in the front and rear.
The new all-road version
became the most powerful in the line of KIA Picanto. Under the hood of the car
is a 1-liter gasoline engine with supercharged and direct fuel injection 1.0
T-GDI. This engine generates 100 horsepower and 172 Nm of torque. Acceleration
to 100 km/h takes 10.1 seconds.
Literally a week later, as
part of the motor show in Frankfurt, the public premiere of KIA Picanto X-Line
will be held. The car will be on sale at the end of this year.
