Deal Hunter: More value packed into tiny Kia Picanto
Big savings to be had on top-spec Ford Puma and, once again, Isuzu D-MAX X-TerrainThe Kia Picanto is the small but mighty king of Australia’s city-car market, commanding a dominant 74 per cent of the micro-car segment to August this year.
A big reason for that is the pint-size Korean hatch is one of just two players in the segment, but another is its budget-friendly price tag backed by a seven-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty.
And drive-away specials like the one being offered on the 2022 Kia Picanto GT-Line automatic make Kia’s smallest model even more attractive.
The self-shifting GT-Line usually retails for $19,040 plus on-road costs, but Kia is currently offering it for $20,990 drive-away, meaning you could save in excess of $1500 worth of on-road costs depending on your state or territory.
Every spare dollar counts amid rising living costs, but a micro runabout obviously won’t suit everyone, so we draw your attention to the Ford’s current promotional pricing of the 2022 Ford Puma ST-Line V automatic – the flagship of the brand’s light SUV range.
The most lavish Ford Puma is currently available for $37,500 drive-away, saving potential buyers thousands of the normal list price of $35,890 plus ORCs, which in WA at least brings the on-road price to $40,463.
If you need something bigger and are a stickler for a bargain, it really is hard to argue with the 2022 Isuzu D-MAX X-Terrain 4x4 automatic’s current drive-away price of $64,990.
The attractive on-road price for the flagship Isuzu ute has actually been in place since the current D-MAX launched in 2020, and a similar deal also remains available for the closely related Isuzu MU-X off-road SUV.
