Kia EV9 Launched in Pakistan – Official Specs and Features
Kia Lucky Motors has just launched the all-electric EV9-GT Line SUV in Pakistan. This full-size electric SUV is available for Rs. 43,200,000/- as a brand-new option. The price tag is pretty high due to the EV technology and Li-ion battery technology.
In comparison, this Korean SUV competes with the brand new Audi E-tron, and if you buy that German top-of-the-line 55 Quatro Sportback trim, you’ll still save enough money to buy top-spec Swift (5 million price gap).
