Kia has kicked off 2019 with two new special-edition models for its UK showrooms – the Stonic Mixx and Picanto Wave.

Inside the Stonic Mixx, black cloth and grey faux leather upholstery is included, complete with orange trim accents to match the roof.

As for the Picanto Wave, Kia says this version of the popular supermini has been ‘inspired by sunny beaches and blue skies’ – meaning it’s painted in a blue hue, with matching denim-style upholstery.

Standard equipment on the Wave includes 15-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, a reversing camera and the same infotainment system as the Stonic, plus support for wireless phone charging.

Powered by a 1.0-litre petrol engine mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, the Picanto Wave is available from £11,895. Both models are now on sale in Kia dealerships around the country.
