Massive Price Increase For All Cars Offered by KIA Motors

July 20, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

In the previous two years, Lucky Motor Corporation Limited (LMCL) was renowned for maintaining car costs. Unfortunately, the carmaker has been compelled to hike car pricing with other businesses due to the depreciation of local currency and rise in shipping expenses.

The Sportage, Stonic, and Picanto pricing in Pakistan have all increased recently, according to a corporate notice. The following are the new pricing, which take effect right away:

Variants	Old Price (Rs.)	Revised Price (Rs.)	Increase (Rs.)
Picanto M/T	2,600,000	3,100,000	500,000
Picanto A/T	2,700,000	3,200,000	500,000
Sportage Alpha	5,300,000	6,250,000	897,000
Sportage FWD	5,858,000	6,750,000	892,000
Sportage AWD	6,363,000	7,250,000	877,000
Stonic EX	4,425,000	4,545,000	76,000
Stonic EX+	4,725,000	4,848,000	76,000
Sorento 2.4 FWD	6,904,360	7,800,000	895,000
Sorento 2.4 AWD	7,573,990	8,500,000	926,000
Sorento V6 FWD	7,573,990	8,500,000	926,000
Carnival	11,499,000	12,599,000	1,100,000

Oddly, compared to the rest of the range, the price increases for the Kia Stonic are minimal.

The top-selling Kia vehicles now cost more thanks to a fourth price hike this year from LMCL. It may have also sparked a new round of price increases in the car sector, with more businesses issuing somber statements and blaming the depreciation of the Pakistani Rupee.
