Why the Increase?
Kia Pakistan’s parent company, Lucky Motor Corporation, attributed the price hike to:
- The federal NEV levy
- Rupee depreciation
- Rising international freight costs

Despite efforts to absorb some costs, LMC said the increases were unavoidable.
- The new prices are applicable for all invoices dated July 1 onwards.
- Ex-factory costs exclude freight, insurance, and any additional government duties, which will be passed onto customers.
What This Means for Consumers
- Small car buyers (Picanto, Stonic) now face price increases up to 13%.
- SUV buyers (Sportage, Sorento) see hikes from 5% to 7%, significantly affecting affordability.
- Electric vehicle prices remain stable—a strategic decision to support EV adoption amid rising costs in conventional segments.
