Kia Picanto

The name “Picanto” relates to the Spanish and Italian words “picante/piccante”, meaning “spicy.”

The Korean’s version name “Morning” may trace its origin from the “Morning Calm”, as a reference to South Korea’s tradition. Since 1886, when a book written by Percival Lowell obtained large success in the United States in narrating the history of Korea, the country started to be internationally referred as “the Land of Morning calm”,{{cite web |url= https://en.unesco.org/courier/news-views-online/land-morning-calm-unesco-courier|title=The Land of the Morning Calm |date=26 November 2018 |website=Unesco.org}} and its ruling monarchy the Joseon, became known abroad as the “Morning Dynasty”.

In some countries, it was sold with a 1.2-litre engine, also used on the newer Hyundai i10.{{cn|date=October 2022}}

To increase its appeal in the European market, the Picanto was equipped with such features as CD player with MP3 audio playback, air conditioning, front and patented rear electric windows, remote central locking, and electric mirrors. These features were advertised in a short-lived campaign starring Marcus Grönholm.

The Picanto received a facelift in 2007. Among the minor changes were the light clusters (front and rear), a new bumper and front grille. For the UK and Cyprus markets, the indicator stalk was switched to the opposite side. For the Italian market, a new bi-fuel LPG version debuted alongside the 1.0 L and 1.1 L engines. This model also saw a change in power steering configuration from hydraulic to electric.

In November 2013, Kia Netherlands released a limited edition model called the Picanto R-Cross. Marketed to compete with the Volkswagen CrossUp, this model featured a black body kit that wrapped around the wheel wells and was fitted with 14" alloy wheels. Only 500 units of the R-Cross were produced.{{cite web |url=http://www.kia.com/nl/modellen/kia-picanto-r-cross/ |title=Kia Picanto R-Cross |publisher=Kia Netherlands |access-date=2014-09-10 }}{{Dead link|date=February 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}{{cite web |url=http://www.autoweek.nl/nieuws/25760/kia-picanto-r-cross-gaat-op-avontuur |title=Kia Picanto R-Cross gaat op avontuur |author=Inia, Alexander |magazine=Autoweek |date=2013-11-25 |access-date=2014-03-14}}

As part of the marketing campaign for the Picanto, Kia produced a promotional video featuring the world's first nail art animation. Over 900 artificial nails and 1,200 bottles of nail polish were used in a span of 25 days (with each nail taking two hours to paint) to create images of the Picanto in motion.{{cite web|url=http://www.kiamotors.com/picantoevent.aspx |title=Picanto Nail Art Animation |publisher=Kia |access-date=2012-08-13 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111008165106/http://www.kiamotors.com/picantoevent.aspx |archive-date=2011-10-08 }}

In the UK, the Picanto is the official sponsor of the ITV dating game show Take Me Out. Kia UK released a series of viral videos on their YouTube channel to promote both the car and the programme.

The Picanto is an official race car in Poland's Kia Platinum Cup, a racing organization created by Kia Motors Polska and Polish Automobile and Motorcycle Association. The organization started in 2006 as the Kia Picanto Cup before establishing a partnership with Grupa Lotos to form the Kia Lotos Race a year later. Following the 2017 season, the organization was changed to Kia Platinum Cup after PKN Orlen replaced Grupa Lotos as the title sponsor.{{cite web |url=http://kiaplatinumcup.pl/#/historia |title=Kia Platinum Cup |publisher=Kia Motors Polska |access-date=2018-03-02}}{{cite web |url=http://kia-buzz.com/2011-kia-lotos-race-the-year%E2%80%99s-speediest-event/ |title=2011 KIA LOTOS RACE: the Year's Speediest Event |publisher=Kia |date=2013-05-27 |access-date=2013-08-01}}
