Kia Picanto Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2017–2020) — Third Generation
The third-generation Kia Picanto is a Mini 5-doors hatch built for city streets. You get a short footprint, five doors for easier access, and a generation focused on compact everyday driving rather than long-distance touring.
A Kia Picanto engine in this generation is a compact gasoline unit with front-wheel drive. The 1.3 MT pairs that drivetrain with a manual gearbox, while the 1.2 AT and 1.0 AT add an automatic for easier city work. These are examples of the powertrain mix, not the full lineup.

Kia Picanto trim levels sit on top of a technical version rather than replacing it. On the 1.2 AT Mini 5-doors, for example, you may see LX and LX PIO equipment packs. Those names describe cabin and convenience choices around the same gasoline automatic, front-wheel-drive layout.
