The Picanto is the entry-point to the extensive KIA product range. It can be had in the entry-level Start, midrange Street, Style and the flagship X-Line trim. Also on offer is the Runner panel van which provides additional storage capacity as the rear bench has been removed and incorporating a cabin separator to keep the front occupants safe from moving items during transport.
The rest of the range has to make do with 255-litres of boot space. The luggage space, however, can expand to 1010-litres with the rear seats folded flat. But what if you want to carry more goods without sacrificing the rear bench? Here are the top three extras to consider.
1. Roof rack
Optionally available for the KIA Picanto is a set of roof racks. The racks secure to the roof of your KIA Picanto with a clever clamping system. The racks will allow you to stow larger or longer items such as suitcases or ladders on the roof of the vehicle allowing you to still carry rear occupants. These are ideal for long road trips or just when you are in a pinch and need to transport a larger item.
2. Roof box
The roof racks also allow you to attach a roof box. The unit offered by the manufacturer offer 360-litre or storage space. One of the main benefits of having a roof box is that it protects your luggage from the elements such as rain and from prying hands. Another benefit is the aerodynamic design which easily cut through the air and improves fuel consumption over long distances.
3. Bike rack
If you are worried about how you would carry your bicycle to and from your favourite routes, KIA thought of that as well. On offer from your local KIA dealership is a bike rack capable of carrying a single bicycle. The rack attaches the tow hook of the vehicle which free up all the boot space and the rear bench for your gear and supporters.
