These are the first official images of the new generation of Kia Picanto.
Drawings came about three months before the official premiere of the car, which is scheduled for the Geneva Motor Show in March 2011.

Furthermore, the car has a sporty and aggressive radiation, while the front model was more feminine in appearance. Although not obvious from these drawings, the model is now ready for series production and prototype that will be exhibited in Geneva will show this.
Sales in Europe will start about a month or two after Geneva.
