Kia Picanto 2011 at Marshall Kia Bedford & Ipswich

The all-new Kia Picanto is looking much better than its predecessors and it will be the first Kia to offer a national servicing package of either three or five years.

Picanto buyers can opt for the Care-3 package at £259 covering the first three services - either 36 months or 30,000 miles or the Care-3 Plus package, which is £499, covering the first five services – either 60 months or 50,000 miles. The package, which can be taken up within the first 45 days after initial registration, offers inflation-proof, fixed price serving with Kia parts and a full service history. It also stays with the car so it can be transferred to a new owner.

Priced from £7,995, the 1.0 litre model qualifies for exemption from the London Congestion Charge and is eligible for free VED thanks to its sub 100g/km CO2 credentials. The lowest emission 1.25 engine model, the EcoDynamics starts for £10,195. As with all new Kias, a seven year or 100,000 miles fully transferable warranty is standard on every new Picanto.
