Pakistan: Kia is Now Ready to Launch Small SUV Stonic
Pakistan's automotive industry is among the smallest yet it is the fastest growing industry in Asia. It accounts for approximately 4% of the GDP. It is responsible for the employment of more than 3.5 million Pakistanis. Currently, Pakistan has about 3200 automobile manufacturing plants that produce 2 million vehicles and 1.8 million motorcycles every year. The market is mostly overwhelmed with Japanese car manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, and Suzuki. The South Korean car manufacturer "Kia" is also quite famous in Pakistan.
Kia Stonic
Kia Lucky motors came with a piece of good news this month. They are launching their SUV Kia Stonic at the end of the next month. It is a great decision as there are no direct competitors. Kia Stonic has specific features that make it stand out. It has an ideal size which is smaller than Nissan Juke yet bigger than Suzuki Swift. This car has all the features that can make it the next best-selling car in Pakistan.
The Price is Still a Secret
The price was kept a secret. Nobody knows how much the exact price will be. This is because of the gradually increasing value of the dollar in Pakistan. This month saw the biggest leap in the dollar's price when it reached Rs 168.94. therefore, the unstable economical condition makes it hard to predict the price of the car. It will be launched next month. The price will be revealed after carefully calculating the value of the Pakistani rupee at the end of October.
Revealing the price right now can cause different problems in the future and lead to multiple violations. The cars in Pakistan are made from imported parts. Therefore, the role of the dollar is inevitable. It has been previously researched that some cars have nearly 70% imported parts.
However, experts have been trying to predict what the price will be. Years of experience and knowledge of the automobile industry helped them in making an estimate of the price. According to some of them, the KIA Stonic will be around 2.5 million to 3 million. This way it will be able to satisfy all the conditions including the price of the dollar, and the standards of the market. It would compete against Honda City, Toyota Yaris, Proton Saga, and Changan Alsvin.
Features of Kia Stonic
There are multiple amazing features that make Kia Stonic an ideal car for everyone. Let us discuss them in detail.
1. Engine
Kia Stonic comes with a petrol engine. Electric cars are still new in Pakistan and not that many people are interested in buying them. Therefore, the petrol engine is ideal. You have the choice to choose from 1000cc, 1200cc, 1400cc, and 1600cc. The option of the diesel engine is only available in the 1600cc Stonic.
2. Good for Tight Urban Streets
Finally, this time when you can go to visit your loved ones, you won't face any problems. This car has a wide, lightweight, and low body that can easily go through the tight urban streets. You no longer have to tolerate any scratches on your car or unnecessary walks to reach your relatives.
3. Forward Collision Warning System
This car comes with Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS) that guarantees your safety in case you come too close to another object. This system will warn you if there is a chance of collision with another vehicle. It is the best way to avoid sudden accidents that are caused by inattentiveness and negligence.
4. Touchscreen
Buttons are hard to use. They malfunction and break all the time. No matter how careful you are, the paint over the buttons will vanish after pressing it a few times. This car has an 8-inch touchscreen that is very easy to use. It does not require extra effort and does not have any paint on it. Hence, the perfect choice for the perfect ride.

Lights are everything. The LED lights emit a high beam that lets you see the road clearly at night. The front fog lights make it easier to see in the foggy weather. They also let other vehicles know that you are in front of them.
