Interior
The interior design continues the same
bold styling that characterises the exterior of the vehicle, with arched
surfaces and contoured edges. Controls are ergonomically positioned to
ensure the maximum ease of use.
The dashboard is arched and contoured to
match the shape of the steering wheel. On the driver’s side a wide
sill extends over the instrument cluster, which consists of four
analogue dials and a multifunctional LED display. A digital clock is
incorporated into the cluster.
Below the air vents are the audio system
and the climate control system. Controls are rotary-type for ease of use
and clearly marked for increased visibility. The air-conditioning
controls are on a slide-switch beneath the rotary dials.
The central fascia is finished in a high
grade plastic to match the colour tone of the interior and features an
optional metal grain trim. In the automatic model, the gear selector
below the fascia features a metallic front plate that adds impact and a
touch of flair to the interior.
A range of 18 cabin storage areas further
expands the interior space. The centre console features two beverage
holders, one of which can be used to hold a removable ashtray. A cell
phone tray and a rear storage tray complete the console stack. In the
dashboard are two storage trays below the steering wheel on the
driver’s door side and a two-layer glove box.
Both front seats have seat back and seat
side pockets for storing books and magazines. The two front doors also
both contain hard-case map pockets. A case for storing sunglasses is
standard, mounted above the driver’s door. A ticket-holder can be
found on the rear of the driver’s sun visor. A storage tray under the
passenger seat rounds out the range of storage areas in the front of the
car while a luggage tray in the trunk keeps small or valuable items
secure.
The 60:40 split rear seats offer both
back folding and double folding options, creating seven different
configurations for the rear seats. The high opening angle of the trunk
and the wide access to the luggage compartment make it easily
accessible. The trunk also features luggage hooks and a luggage net to
ensure that cargo does not move around the storage space when the car is
moving.
The Picanto’s audio system incorporates
a range of head-units fitted in-market to reflect regional preferences
in the markets in which the car will be offered. All audio-systems
feature a roof mounted AM/FM radio antenna.
Sound is broadcast through up to
six-speakers, with a speaker mounted in each of the front and rear doors
and tweeters mounted in the A-pillars.
The driver’s seat features a four-way
adjuster function. Both the driver and front passenger seats feature
slide and recline adjustability, allowing the occupant to alter the
angle of recline of the seat back and the distance of the seat from the
dashboard.
Both the driver’s seat and front
passenger seat also feature optional seat warmers and adjustable
headrests. The Picanto includes a full range of electrical refinements
as standard with additional optional features for maximum ease of use.
