What kind of gearbox does Kia Picanto have?
The optional four-speed automatic gearbox is gone, too, making way for a new five-speed ‘automated manual’ unit which, if you’ll allow the tenuous and generous link, operates a bit like the old BMW M3’s SMG ’box (in principle, at least), although the five-speed manual remains an option at all levels.

What’s the price of a new Kia Picanto?

Is there a shift lock on a Kia Picanto?

Never move the shift lever from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to any other position with the accelerator pedal depressed.
