A brand new KIA Picanto is here for the 3M Autofilm. The A-segment hatchback makes its return to the market as the only non-national model left in the entry-level segment.

Kia's signature “tiger nose” grille has also been widened to meet the headlights. The 1.2 litre Kappa II naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine on offer will be familiar to owners of the outgoing model and produces 84 PS at 6,000 rpm and 122 Nm at 4,000 rpm.

The previous model's 3.0-litre engine was among the last surviving members of BMW's famed naturally-aspirated inline-sixes that made way for downsized four-cylinder turbos that delivered equivalent or better performance with improved emissions. So, here in the 730Li, we have, for the first time in a BMW 7 Series, a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine.

Essentially the same B48 powerplant that also features in the 330i, the engine is tuned to more potent outputs of 258hp.

Toyota Estima 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine is considered extremely durable, provided it is regularly serviced. It has a camchain which, unlike a cambelt, is unlikely to ever need replacing. There is one weakness under the bonnet.

The plastic ‘top tank' on the radiator degrades over time, developing cracks and leaks, which can lead to engine overheating. Early signs are a brownish-gold discolouration of the plastic, especially around the radiator cap or hose outlet joints. Luckily, replacement tanks are cheap and readily available.
