The Kia Picanto is sticking around in an ever-shrinking segment shunned by Aussie buyers.

To some degree it's fair enough. What works on the streets of Seoul or Tokyo doesn't always translate well to our great expanses here in Australia, but if you're sticking to a metro capital, isn't the Picanto all the car you really need?

We've tested the refreshed for 2021 Picanto range for this test, from the base S manual, to the GT-Line auto. We weren't able to sample the updated version of the top-spec three-cylinder GT manual, as it arrives later in the year.

What did we make of it? Both cars were driven several hundred kilometres over a weekly test, and were analysed for their value, design, practicality, fuel consumption, drive experience around town and on the freeway, as well as how they stack up on the warranty and safety front.

There are a few small surprises you might not expect, and a few that could make the difference between picking the Picanto over either of its main rivals, which include the MG3 and Suzuki Ignis.
