New model may explain 'cosmic glitch,' where gravity weakens at edge of universe, scientists say

Kia has announced the prices and equipment details of the fundamentally revised Picanto. The Kia small car will be presented in the 2025 model year with a strikingly changed front and rear appearance, characterized by the new Kia design philosophy “Opposites United”, new exterior and interior colors, new high-tech elements from front collision warning with turning function and active blind spot assistants to LED Headlights and a reinforced body. Despite its compact external dimensions, the Picanto has a spacious, comfortable interior and up to 1,010 liters of storage space. This makes it also suitable for households that need a fully-fledged second car. The efficient 1.0 and 1.2 liter petrol engines are still available for drive, both of which are also available with an automated manual transmission. The standard equipment includes, among other things, a navigation system including the Kia Connect online services and air conditioning. The revised model is available in four versions including the decidedly sporty Picanto GT-Line. In addition, the limited special models “Launch Edition” with exclusive elements and colors will be offered for the introduction of Spirit and GT-line. All versions can be ordered now, with the first deliveries taking place in July. Prices start at 16,690 euros and, as usual with the brand, include the 7-year Kia manufacturer's warranty.
