2018 Kia Picanto: every variant sold in Australia
5 variants of the Kia Picanto carry the 2018 model year in our catalogue — the JA generation, sold new 2017–now. Specs, safety, economy and standard equipment for every grade, side by side.
The 2018 Kia Picanto is no longer sold new in Australia. A price is shown only where we hold Kia's own printed price for that variant: what it cost new, not a current offer or a used value. Specifications are kept for used-buyer research. See the current Kia Picanto.

Equipment across the 2018 range
Four states, never three. Standard means the document prints it as standard on that grade. Optional means it is a factory extra, at the price the document prints. No means the document confirms it is not available. No data means we have not read it off a Kia document yet, which is not the same as saying the car does not have it.

Not yet read off a Kia document for any 2018 variant: Adaptive cruise, Blind-spot monitor. Left out of the table rather than shown as a column of “No data”; it is not a “No”.
What changed from the 2016 Picanto
No 2016 grade we hold carries into 2018 under the same name, body, gearbox and drive, so the change is shown as the line-up itself rather than as price or spec moves on a guessed pairing. A grade listed below as in one year’s rows only may be a grade we have not added yet rather than one Kia added or dropped; the variant table above is what we hold for 2018.
New generation: the 2016 rows are the TA (2016-2017); the 2018 rows are the JA (2017-).
In our 2018 rows, not our 2016 rows: AO Edition 1.25 Automatic, AO Edition 1.25 Manual, GT-Line 1.25 Automatic, S 1.25 Automatic, S 1.25 Manual.
In our 2016 rows, not our 2018 rows: Si Auto (TA 2016-2017).

Not yet on file for this model year: kerb weight, service interval (months), service interval (distance). These read “No data” until we read them off a source document, rather than a guessed figure.
Recalls on the 2018 Kia Picanto
None of the recall notices we have verified is matched to the 2018 variants on this page. That is a statement about our register, not a clearance: check a specific car by VIN on the government’s Product Safety Australia recalls register before you buy.
Where a figure has not been read off a source document it reads “No data” rather than a zero or a dash, and an equipment column reads “No” only where a document confirms the feature is not available. Full specs, the source for each variant and a side-by-side configurator for every Kia Picanto variant, including other model years, are on the model page.
