Car leasing has slowly become the most common type of vehicle financing scheme. People are aware that purchasing a car poses different disadvantages, especially if it concerns car maintenance and uncontrolled car depreciation. As a result, various car leasing firms provide the market with reliable, sleek, and convenient vehicles. These characteristics somewhat describe the overall interior of the Kia Picanto 1.1 LX, a four star vehicle. With its popularity, many businesses and private customers are intrigued to find out what the Picanto is really made of. Several car contract hire firms offer a Kia Picanto leasing package, a scheme that gives car-lessees the right to drive a Picanto within the agreed term.

The Kia Picanto 1.1 LX is a bold and powerful car that can take anyone’s breath away. Its amazing stylistic exterior look makes it an eye-catcher on every street. It has a CD player, MP3 player, air conditioning system, and 60:40 foldable rear seats, all making for a cool and relaxing atmosphere. Aside from its physical body, the Kia Picanto is equipped with powerful, round-disk brakes that can resist speed momentum instantly. No doubt, the Kia Picanto really is a class of its own and driving it through a Picanto leasing scheme can be done as easily as the alphabet.

In a Kia Picanto leasing deal, potential car lessees are required to pay the initial scheme amount, which is equivalent to a six-month period of instalments, collectively. After that, the remaining balance will be covered by a series of monthly instalments, usually ranging from £200-£350, depending on the length of the term.

With a Kia Picanto leasing scheme, driving a Picanto will never be an impossible feat. It is flexible and convenient for anyone to use.

OK, so it may be a blatant attempt to copy other hatches, like VW, Toyota and Ford, but as copy-cats go, this isn’t half bad. The Kia Cee’d offers an astonishingly smooth ride, far better than the Cerato (the model it replaces) could ever deliver.

The model comes in a range of engine types and sizes – two 1.6 diesels (89 bhp and 113 bhp respectively), two petrol’s (1.4 litre, 103 bhp and 1.6 litre, 113 bhp) and finally a 2.0 litre, 140 bhp diesel. It’s the last one you should aim for; you’ll have to turn the CD volume up quite a bit at high speed, but it’s fairly nifty. Kia endeavours to keep its prices low so there is an inevitable downscaling of quality material in the interior and elsewhere; but the surprising thing is that, with this series, you don’t notice it.

The five-door Cee’d has independent rear suspension and handles superbly (it seems to float gracefully over speed-bumps). The passenger and boot space isn’t lavish, but neither is it miserly and you’ll certainly have a comfortable ride, whether you’re in the front or the back.

This is the model that should encourage you to shrug off any residual ‘badge snootiness’ and slide boldly behind the wheel of a Kia.
