Kia small car range: current models

Take your pick from these small cars from Kia.

Kia Picanto

The smallest model in the Kia range, the Picanto has been around for over 20 years. The latest version is simple to drive, easy to park, and affordable to buy and run. It’s noisy on the motorway, though.

Kia Ceed

Bored of having the same car as your neighbour? The Kia Ceed family hatchback makes a fine alternative to the more obvious choices. It’s affordable, well equipped, and good looking, but the Ceed is not much fun to drive.

Kia ProCeed

Imagine a cross between a hatchback, an estate, and a coupé. That’s more or less what you get with the Kia ProCeed. It’s striking to look at and has a massive boot, but it costs more than the regular Ceed.

Kia Soul EV

The Soul EV is small enough to make a great town car, but this EV has a healthy range for longer trips. It’s a shame the cabin is drab and boot space isn’t great, but the quirky looks stand out from the norm.
