KIA Picanto JA 1.2 Spirit - Long-range vehicle

Is a KIA Picanto a long distance vehicle? If one asks the question whether this motor vehicle is also suitable for longer highway stages, one has to consider different aspects, comfort, tank volume, top speed...

The tight fuel tank capacity of 35 liters forces the driver of a KIA : car_offers-model-model_generation-base_models-base_model_name to make refueling stops at short intervals, even if the average consumption of 4.6 liters per 100km is not above average. An important criterion for frequent drivers: the top speed. This is 173 km/h and is thus quite suitable for long distances if you don't want to permanently stay above the 200 mark. Comfort and interior space are at least as important on long journeys. With 3595 mm length, the car is rather one of the smaller ones. You should not expect too much comfort here (suspension, seat upholstery, noise insulation).

The integrated distance cruise control ensures both safe and relaxed travel by automatically maintaining both the speed and the distance to the vehicle in front. Of course, air conditioning is a must for comfortable journeys. Here, even an automatic air conditioning system is installed, i.e. the air volume and temperature is automatically adjusted to the interior temperature, while a simple air conditioning system has to be operated manually.
