Kia Morning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kia Morning, known as the Kia Picanto in export markets (except in Chile, where is badged as his original name), is a low cost city car produced in South Korea by Kia Motors (internal model index SA)
The Morning/Picanto is based on a shortened platform of the Hyundai Getz. It is available with either 1.0 or 1.1 L petrol engines. A 3-cylinder diesel engine (based on the Kia Cerato's 1.5 CRD four-cylinder unit), with direct injection and a variable geometry turbocharger, has been available in the European market since Spring 2004, with power reaching 75 PS (55 kW). The Morning is 3495 mm long with a five-door hatchback body. Automatic gearboxes are optional in the petrol units.
In order to increase its appeal in the European market, especially among females (the primary target audience), the Morning/Picanto is equipped with gadgets such as a digital audio player (in the shape of an MP3 CD Player), air conditioning, front and rear electric windows, remote central locking and electric mirrors.
A locally assembled version of the Kia Picanto is sold in Malaysia under the Naza badge, as the Naza Suria.
