Kia review Picanto X-Line 2018: model appearance, interior, technical specifications, security systems, prices and equipment. At the end of the article - a video review of the 2018 Kia Picanto X-Line!


Review content:

In February 2018, an “off-road” modification of the Kia Picanto X-Line compact hatchback reached the Russian market, officially debuting in Frankfurt in the fall of 2017.

The new product is based on a model with the GT-Line sports package and is distinguished by the presence of aggressive bumpers, a plastic lining in the lower part of the body, an enlarged ground clearance and a new three-cylinder turbo engine.

True, it is worth noting that new engine and increased ground clearance will be given to cars designed for European countries , while the domestic buyer will have to be content with exclusively cosmetic modifications.


Inside the company, they note that the new product was created with an eye on residents of large cities who lead an active lifestyle and would like to stand out in the city traffic. And the car really turned out to be interesting not only externally, but also internally, if not for one “but” - the high price, which is even higher than the initial cost of the older Kia model Rio X-Line.

However, there is no doubt that even at this price the car will be able to find its buyer, but for now we propose to talk more about the design, content and technical characteristics of the new product.

Exterior of Kia Picanto X-Line 2018


Despite its compact dimensions, the Kia Picanto X-Line has a stylish and quite menacing appearance.


"Muzzle" of the car decorated with predatory head optics, a signature false radiator grille with bright green splashes, as well as a massive front bumper with large sections of air intakes, built-in fog lights (also with bright green decorative elements) and a pseudo-off-road trim.


City hatchback profile It stands out with its curvaceous wheel arches, massive plastic sill protection, moldings, original design of alloy wheels and short overhangs at the front and rear.


Neat poop catches the eye with the spectacular rear position lamps with LED filling, a compact trunk lid and a muscular rear bumper, in which large foglights are effectively built-in, a plastic insert stylized as metal and a dual exhaust system pipe that plays attractively in the light with a chrome finish.

The external dimensions of the X-Line version have the following parameters:

Length, mm3595
Width, mm1595
Height, mm1495
Wheelbase, mm2400
Ground clearance, mmat least 161

The European version of the Kia Picanto X-Line boasts a ground clearance of 156 mm, although in Russia even the regular Picanto is offered with a ground clearance of 161 mm. The curb weight of the car, depending on the equipment level, ranges from 952-980 kg.

Future owners are offered a choice between 11 body colors, as well as an original design of alloy wheels, which opens up significant opportunities for personalizing the appearance of the car and helps the car not to get lost in crowded city traffic.

Interior of Kia Picanto X-Line 2018


The interior design of the X-Line version is exactly the same as that of the regular Picanto, only a few details differ. In particular, for the all-terrain version, the manufacturer offers a sports multi-steering wheel with a rim cut off at the bottom, aluminum door sills and pedals, eco-leather seat trim and lime-colored stitching. The quality of materials, as well as assembly, is at a very high level, by class standards.

In addition to the steering wheel, which is convenient in size and cross-section, the driver is offered a stylish and highly informative instrument cluster, complemented by a small LCD screen on-board computer.


In the central part of the dashboard there is a 7-inch monitor of the multimedia information complex, which can synchronize with smartphones based on Android and iOS OS, and below there is a rather stylish microclimate control unit.

I would also like to highlight the spectacular vertical air duct deflectors located at the edges of the front dashboard.


For front passengers Comfortable and functional seats are offered, with good lateral support, a wide range of adjustments and heating. Between them there is a small armrest, a parking brake “poker”, a gearbox selector and a pair of cup holders.


Rear row of seats in theory, it has a three-seater layout, but only two adult riders can fit here with maximum comfort.

Unfortunately, the second row of seats does not offer any additional amenities. However, given the class of the car, it would be stupid to consider this a disadvantage.


Trunk volume with a five-seater interior layout it is only 255 liters, and with the backrests of the rear sofa lowered it can be increased to 1010 liters. In the underground trunk there was a place for storage and a small set of tools.
Generally, Kia interior Picanto X-Line offers sufficient quantity by class standards free space, excellent ergonomics and a wide range of equipment, both basic and optional, which cannot always be found even in higher-class cars.

Video review of Kia Picanto X-Line 2018:

IN modern world Any product on the supermarket shelf sells out faster if its colorful packaging has bright logos with words like “Eco”, “Non-GMO”, “Nature”. Moreover, such products, as a rule, are more expensive than conventional analogues.

A similar situation arises in automotive market. Today, any model can be sold at a higher price and in larger quantities if you add Cross, All, Offroad or the letters X, C, S to its name. Moreover, the differences between such cars and standard models will not be fundamental. The Kia Picanto X-Line is one of those. Myself hatch new generation has been sold on our market for more than a year, but the all-terrain version of the X-Line only recently acquired.

There are not many cars in the A-class with similar performance. For example, Ford has . But it is not sold on our market either. So X-Line turns out to be the only warrior in the field.

What is it distinctive feature such a Picanto? Firstly, this car is equipped only with an older 1.2 liter engine with an output of 84 hp, which can only be combined with an automatic transmission. Secondly, the lower edge of its body along the perimeter is protected by a edging made of unpainted plastic.

And thirdly, thanks to slightly elongated suspension springs and cast 14-inch wheels, the X-Line’s ground clearance is 17 cm, which is 1 cm more than other versions of the younger Kia model.


In fact, there is practically no fundamental difference in the behavior of the X-Line on the road compared to other older versions of the Picanto. The hatchback steers just as easily and easily fits into turns of any severity. As for the driving sensations, they are also unchanged. Unless, when maneuvering in a parking lot, you approach the curbs a little more boldly.

But is it worth it? plastic body kit and pay more for an extra centimeter of ground clearance? After all, the Picanto X-Line is priced at a considerable 819,900 rubles. A question that cannot be answered definitively. Because Kia itself has allocated the X-Line not just as a modification, but as a separate package.

For example, the closest version of the Picanto Luxe is priced at 774,900 rubles. And then it turns out that the additional payment per centimeter of ground clearance is 45,000 rubles. However, the X-Line still has equipment that is not available in the luxury version. For example, electric folding mirrors, Apple CarPlay in multimedia and a couple of other options.

But there is also a Picanto Prestige, which is equipped in the same way as the X-Line and even a little richer (here, for example, 15-inch wheels). But the price of such a “prestigious Picanto” starts at 814,900 rubles. And it turns out that 5000 rubles. Not so much for the increased ground clearance and plastic all around.

Recently, there has been a tendency to create special versions inexpensive hatchbacks. This is dictated by market needs. More and more drivers want to have a car that will combine compactness, confidence on city roads and on the highway, and also be prepared for unusual situations on the road in the form of poor surfaces. The cost of such a car is not the least important. Among other options, the Kia Picanto X-Line 2019 stands out quite favorably. This hatchback is extremely popular in Europe and ranks first in the sales rankings. In many ways, the 2019 Kia Picanto X-Line is a new model (pictured), and updated prices only highlight the innovations introduced.

  • Green;
  • Blue;

Design

Even in the regular version, the Kia Picanto X-Line 2019 had a rather attractive appearance. Updated model began to be equipped with a simply huge windshield. The driver will experience absolutely no discomfort when driving a miniature car.

The hood cover is located at a fairly large angle in relation to the road surface. This circumstance does not interfere with visibility and the ability to feel the leading edge of the car.

The front part of the Kia Picanto X-Line 2019 is equipped with a radiator grille made in the corporate style. A little lower on the bumper, another air intake system is installed, which supplies an additional portion of air to the engine compartment and to the front axle brake system. Fog lights, which are located on the body kit front bumper, are small in size and made in the form of neat round elements. The running lights took on the appearance of a boomerang, complementing the already original appearance of the car.

The side part has not undergone significant changes. The same ones are present here small doors, modest wheel arches that still cannot accommodate large rims. The glass here does not obscure the view, and this is clearly an advantage of the car. The line of the window sill tends upward, which gives a certain audacity to the appearance of the new product.

The rear of the car features large headlights. The trunk lid has become neater. A small spoiler is located above rear window. An additional brake light is built into it.

The interior decoration will pleasantly surprise anyone who dares to look inside the Kia Picanto X-Line 2019. The developers did their best, and the car has indeed become much more functional and comfortable. This is evidenced by the updated dashboard, finishing materials and much more.

The steering wheel remains medium in size. It is equipped with three spokes on which control buttons are located multimedia system And electronic assistants. The grip of the steering wheel is very comfortable, it itself is pleasant to the touch.

The instrument panel is made in the form of several blocks. They house the speedometer and tachometer sensors. Small screen on-board computer will provide the driver with all necessary information about the state technical indicators hatchback in this moment time.

The dashboard has become much more informative than before. On it the main space is occupied by a large touch screen multimedia system. Using the display, you can set the music in the cabin, as well as various auxiliary systems. Its location is very convenient. To perform some function, the driver does not have to stretch across the entire cabin. Also now Cell phones can be connected to the car using the hands free system. This is done so that the driver can answer the call while driving without being distracted from the road.

The seats have become noticeably more comfortable. We must pay tribute to the manufacturer's designers. The front seat position has become lower. Thanks to this, the ergonomics of the interior were improved and high level passenger comfort. The seats have lateral support, which fixes the position of the torso during sharp turns. The seats are equipped with a heating system. Adjustments can only be mechanical. There is no seat ventilation even in the top version, perhaps this is still a minus.

The second row of seats can accommodate three, but only two passengers will be comfortable. It's connected with compact dimensions Kia Picanto X-Line 2019. Here you won’t see not only ventilation, but also heating. This circumstance is due to the fairly budget price of the hatchback.

The luggage compartment of the Kia Picanto X-Line 2019 cannot boast of large capacity with the standard position of the second row seats. The volume is 255 liters. However, a larger volume cannot be demanded from such compact car. By folding the second row, you can immediately increase the volume to 1010 liters. With this indicator, you can transport larger cargo, and this is an obvious plus.

In addition, in Russia the car will be available only with a naturally aspirated 1.2-liter 84-horsepower engine, but unfortunately we won’t have a modern turbo three. So how well a sporty compact hatchback stylized as a crossover will sell in Russia, time will tell.

KIA PICANTO X-LINE 2018-2019 VIDEO

Recently, Korean masters presented to the world a restyling of one of the most striking cross-hatches in the world – the Kia Picanto X-Line 2019. New model is even more stylish and aimed at youth, since its design contains a huge amount of different decor, thanks to which it will not be difficult to stand out in the crowd. Of course, the interior and characteristics were updated here, but they still cause less delight than the redesigned exterior.

Even from the photo it is clear that specialists spent a huge amount of time and effort on creating the design. The new body perfectly combines various decorative details inherent in sports cars, as well as off-road elements, of which there are a lot. The result is a very vicious and capable fellow who will easily climb to the top of sales in his class.

The front part stands out especially strongly here, which, although short, is set quite high and overflowing with decorative elements. It all starts with a huge windshield, directly under which is located a small but strongly inclined hood lid with protrusions on the sides. Under the latter there are simply huge headlights, which have an unusual shape and will be filled with halogens. As always, the space between the main optics is filled with a proprietary radiator grille with a fine mesh and a chrome frame. Also at the junction of the main part of the bumper and the body kit there is another small air intake strip, which increases the cooling of the engine compartment.

But the air intake grilles don’t end there either. Three more cutouts are located on the body kit - one in the center, which takes the shape of a trapezoid and includes foglights, as well as a pair on the sides, which are now in the shape of rectangles and supply air to the brakes. In addition to the grilles, you can also find a lot of relief here, as well as plastic and metal inserts, indicating the off-road purpose of the car.

The profile is a little less bright, but still stylish. There is no longer such madness of the relief here, but there are still plenty of all sorts of ledges and indentations. A lot of space is reserved for neat windows with chrome frames. Laconic mirrors flaunt here rectangular shape, which even in the rich configuration did not receive turn signals, extended wheel arches and unpainted plastic linings on the entire lower part of the body.

By aggression rear end The car is quite a bit inferior to the front one. And if the face was adorned with a bunch of air intakes, then there is a noticeable abundance of optics and relief. The tailgate, which takes up most of the whole free space, is decorated here with a visor with brake lights, a window and very unusual dimensions large sizes. The rest of the area is strewn with all sorts of recesses, and the largest of them contain triangular foglights and a platform for a license plate. At the end of the bumper there is a plastic-metal insert with a cutout for two exhaust pipes.





Salon

Like most inexpensive cars Kia, everything here is done inside very simply, but with high quality. New Kia Picanto X-Line 2019 model year It stands out for its laconic interior, trimmed with fabrics and plastic, and also complemented by a good multimedia system already in the base and very comfortable seats that can provide a high level of comfort to any passenger.

The center console here is finished in the corporate style of the Korean automaker. There is nothing superfluous here at all - almost everything is controlled through a small monitor located at the top of the dashboard, which is regulated by buttons located around it. Next you can find wide range from the air ducts, and directly below it there is a modest panel with settings for the climate control system and heated seats.

Everything is very simple and with a tunnel, which also carries only the most necessary things. These Koreans include a gear shift knob, a couple of fairly large cup holders, a panel with slots for additional multimedia equipment, hand brake and even an armrest with a refrigerator inside, but only in the most expensive configuration.

Despite its tiny size, the car boasts very comfortable seats, easily accommodating all five passengers. Of course, a set additional options here it is small - the front row is equipped only with lateral support, heating and adjustments, which can be mechanical or electrical, and the rear sofa boasts only headrests, but this is still enough to provide everyone with a comfortable ride over long distances.

There is, predictably, very little space in the trunk - only 255 liters. However, it can be increased by as much as 4 times if you fold the rear sofa.
