Are We Getting Niro EV & Stinger?
So, are we getting these two new cars from Kia Pakistan? The answer is a bit complicated. As per our sources, the company will show these two vehicles across Pakistan at its different dealerships, but they will only be for display for the time being. “The company wants to increase footfall on its dealerships, especially amid these tough times, so the tour of these cars will start soon,” the sources said, adding that the Kia is hoping that people will come to see them.
The company has imported the CBU units of Niro EV and Stinger, but there are no plans for their launch anytime soon. Per our experts, Niro, teased in this video, is a discontinued global model. Stinger will be discontinued globally, with production ending in April or summer of 2023, and there is no next generation. ” We may expect a CBU Stinger as Stinger didn’t sell well globally, and there might be RHD vehicles unsold in inventory, which Lucky can import at a discounted rate and sell locally. The same is the case with Niro, or a CKD Niro has more chance with incentives on electric cars from the government.
Another Point of View
However, other sources and experts have slightly different thoughts, as they think we can expect a CBU Stinger and maybe a CKD Niro. “But that Niro will not be EV as Kia Lucky is not currently focusing on electric vehicles,” the sources claimed. So, all in all, nothing is confirmed except that we will not get these cars anytime soon, especially during these tough economic times in Pakistan.

For the Kia Niro either it is the first genereation or second gen, it is the same engine under the hood.
The first gen have a better design in a way and it could be a cheap alternative Hybrid SUV omparing to the available option, it is also a dual clutch transmission, making the drive pleasant.
For the Stinger RHD it catch some customers in countries like Australia, the model is still actual, is just the fact Kia didn’t sale as much as expected. The launch of the stinger could be the cheapest Premium sedan available in the Market, because yes it is a premium sedan, developed with BMW Motorsport.
