The base-model Kia Picanto Sport is available in either four-speed automatic or five-speed manual guise, and is one of Australia's most affordable brand new vehicles.

The manual costs from $17,890 while the automatic bumps it slightly to $19,490, both before on-road costs.

Included are 14-inch alloy wheels, a new 4.2-inch digital instrument panel, an 8.0-inch multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, cloth seats with a leatherbound steering wheel and shifter, as well as a new-look exterior design.

The full safety suite is also standard, while the Picanto range continues to be powered by a 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine producing 62kW/122Nm.

As always, Kia offers its seven-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty across its entire range, with seven years of roadside assist and seven years of capped-price servicing.

Despite studying ancient history and law at university, it makes sense Tom ended up writing about cars, as he spent the majority of his waking hours finding ways to drive as many as possible. His fascination with automobiles was also accompanied by an affinity for technology growing up, and he is just as comfortable tinkering with gadgets as he is behind the wheel. His time at CarsGuide has given him a nose for industry news and developments at the forefront of car technology.
