Kia gives a mid-cycle facelift to Picanto according to leaked images; likely to get subtle design changes

According to the leaked images, the Kia Picanto Facelift has received a few changes on the exterior. The front fascia features revised headlamps with four LED DRLs surrounding the projector headlamp. It also gets Kia’s signature style ‘tiger-nose’ grille and a dual-tone front bumper with large vents on either side. The rear end of the hatchback also sports some subtle changes. It gets new LED taillights, a redesigned bumper, and chrome exhaust tips. Riding on dual-tone alloy wheels, the car also sports a shark fin antenna.

Not many details have been revealed about the mechanical updates yet. However, Kia is expected to carry forward the engines currently available on the hatchback in the international market.
