Kia Lucky has probably scored the biggest own goal in recent memory. And that too completely unforced.

[Gringo1]

Probably fake as their site has old prices and Facebook page also does not have this notification

[pwuser167550015690]

I had copied this from Facebook. They had just removed it from all their pages a couple of minutes ago. Not sure why, because they had posted this on multiple channels including Facebook and Instagram.

Here's a screenshot taken from Instagram as well just after it was posted (now taken down):

EDIT: They've posted it again but I haven't gone through and checked if they've changed anything.

[Gringo1]

Yes appearing now on Facebook, have added brackets with adjusted amounts to reflect price decrease, rest is same

[OgRe1985]

RIP to those who bought on older prices their vehicles just devalued around 2.5 million

Well Well Well

next in line should be Elantra Hybrid with a price decrease.

It was a completely foolish strategy to arrogantly launch the new Sportage at such exorbitantly high prices.

They needed a reality check.

To claim any major market share they must bring it down further. Nobody’s interested in buying a Sportage today.

I think the sportage alpha has no competition at this price point. It will sell.

[pwuser167550015690]

The Sportage Alpha is pretty barebones IMO. At that price, there is some good competition.

The 5 seater Oshan X7 FutureSense might be more value. There's also the MG HS facelift as well which is a bit smaller but also cheaper and better equipped. You can also go fully electric at this price with the BYD Atto 3. There are several options now and likely more coming soon.

Marketing team if Kia must be fired

Sportage has ruined its name with new launch.

[StoneCold316]

not Haval .with they are about to launch upgraded haval hev

i dont think so ..

[bazilahmad]

Oshan had the same price point versus old sportage - even then old sportage sold more. It’s not real competition for the new model

Also similarly MG has lower pricing than old sportage for a while and still it didn’t sell.

Not good to assume that they will sell against new model which looks better than the old one

[bazilahmad]

It’s not marketing team. They tried to compete with Haval and go for a high margin low volume strategy.

Hyundai ruined their plans. Now with shortage price decreasing significantly there will be pressure on Corolla cross and civic to reduce prices

'Temporary Adjustment' lolz
What a bunch of baboons.

[j_aquil]

[OgRe1985]

Next turn ab haval ki hai to adjust the prices. Its only happening in Pakistan a chinese vehicle is expensive than the same category koreans vehicle.
