What temperature should the engine coolant be at during operation in a Kia Picanto?

I have recently purchased a used Kia Picanto and noticed that the engine coolant temperature is running higher than normal during operation. What is the recommended temperature range for the engine coolant in a Kia Picanto? Is it a cause for concern?

A higher than normal engine coolant temperature in your Kia Picanto could be a sign of a faulty thermostat or a malfunctioning radiator fan. It may also indicate that you need to refill your radiator with coolant. It is recommended to have your car inspected by a certified mechanic to determine the exact cause.

The recommended engine coolant temperature range for a Kia Picanto is between 185-220°F (85-105°C). If the temperature is consistently exceeding this range, it could be a sign of a problem. It is important to address any issues with the engine coolant temperature to ensure the longevity of your car's engine.

I had a similar issue with my Kia Picanto and after taking it to a mechanic, it turned out that there was a leak in the cooling system causing the engine coolant temperature to run high. I would suggest getting your car checked as soon as possible to avoid any potential damage.
