Kia Picanto sighted on Chennai roads, is it India bound?

Kia Picanto is sister company of Hyundai motors. The company is looking to enter in India but the question arises is that whether the company will come alone or in a collaboration with Hyundai, it is still a suspense.
The Kia Picanto, known as the Kia Morning in South Korea and Chile, Kia EuroStar in Taiwan, Kia New Morning in Vietnam and the Naza Suria or Naza Picanto in Malaysia, is a low cost city car produced by Kia Motors.

First generation (SA)

The Picanto is based on a shortened platform of the Hyundai Getz. It is available with either 1.0 or 1.1 L petrol engines. A 3-cylinderdiesel engine (based on the Kia Cerato's 1.5 CRD four-cylinder unit), with direct injection and a variable geometry turbocharger, has been available in the European market since Spring '04, with power reaching 75 PS (55 kW). The Morning is 3,495 mm (137.6 in) long with a five-door hatchback body. Automatic gearboxes are optional in the petrol units. Also sold in some countries with a 1.2L engine found in the Hyundai i10

To increase its appeal in the European market, the Picanto is equipped with such features as CD player (that enables MP1, 2 and 3 audio playback), air conditioning, front and patented rear electric windows, remote central locking, and electric mirrors. These features were advertised in a short-lived ad campaign starring Marcus Grönholm.
