Now in its third-generation, the new Kia Picanto brings a new, more youthful and energetic character to the A-segment. Boasting an assertive new design and a high-quality, high-tech new cabin, the latest model also offers buyers greater potential for customisation and promises to be the most versatile car in its class.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Kia&rsquo;s B-segment global challenger bestseller, the Rio, now in its fourth generation, has also been heavily enhanced with a fresh appearance inside and out, featuring a lengthy list of improvements.<\/p>\n<p>The two models have a particularly strong fan base, ticking all the boxes for low running costs, ideal dimensions for city driving, and the high level of equipment. While both the Rio and the Picanto retain the strengths they both always enjoyed, their new versions offer a new level of dynamism and performance, as well as introduce the latest technologies for in-car connectivity and enhanced safety.<\/p>\n<p>These elements ensure the strengthening of the Kia profile worldwide and the brand&rsquo;s market share in these two very competitive segments.<\/p>\n<p>The Rio starts at &euro;13,600, while the Picanto starts at &euro;9,500 both prices include government scrappage scheme. All Kia models come with a 7-year warranty.<\/p>\n<p>Discover these amazing two new models by visiting the Kia showroom in Mdina Road, Qormi, by calling 22692123 or 22692120 or logging on kia.com\/mt or Facebook\/KiaMalta page.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Kia Rio &amp; Kia Piccanto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.motorsinc.com.mt\/loadimage\/2886C109-E2EA-403C-806B-11419AE6D7D2\" width=\"500\" height=\"183\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motors Inc., the authorised dealer for Kia in Malta, launches two if its most popular models &ndash; the all-new Rio and all-new Picanto.
