2021 Kia Picanto pricing and specs detailed: Mitsubishi Mirage and Fiat 500 rival keeps getting more expensive
The Picanto has been given another price rise.
For the second time its facelift arrived seven months ago, Kia Australia has raised the pricing of the third-generation Picanto micro hatchback.
Another $500 increase has been applied to all Picanto variants, with the line-up now kicking off from $15,690 plus on-road costs for the manual S and topping out at $19,990 for the automatic GT (see full pricing table below).
A Kia Australia spokesperson told CarsGuide no tweaks have been made to the Mitsubishi Mirage and Fiat 500 rival’s standard specification, with the usual external factors forcing the change in cost.

As such, the Picanto is still available in three grades: entry-level S, mid-range GT-Line and flagship GT.
The S and GT-Line are motivated by a 62kW/122Nm 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine four-cylinder engine, which is mated to a five-speed manual as standard, although a four-speed torque-converter automatic can be optioned.
Meanwhile, the GT is powered by a 74kW/172Nm 1.0-litre turbo-petrol three-cylinder engine, which is exclusively matched to a five-speed manual. Like every other Picanto variant, it’s front-wheel drive.
