if 11 seater is a selling point then OMG.
Once again this is a failed marketing / Product manager idea. People with no sense of automobiles are running and working as heads of these divisions.
They could have atleast displayed the RIO just like they are displaying Sportage. This is a failed product with out a second thought. People didnt embrace Suzuki Vitara how does anyone defending the price of Carnival stand a chance in this thread.
Any single person who says the price is reasonable, My question when are you getting one ? People spending 4-5 million dont want to fit 11 people in a Van.
Their is a huge gap in other segments. If they can price a truck with JAC/ Shehzore / APV Pickup. They could definetly had come up with atleast a better car then a Suzuki Ciaz.
Suzuki Ciazes current selling point is only ready delivery over Corolla Xli/GLi and Honda City.
Kia could definetly tap that segment within 1200cc to 1500cc. and start with a sedan or a hatchback.
If Audi can manage smaller engines for Pakistani markets Hyundai and Kia should definetly tap thoose areas or else they simply dont seem interested.
Any one would get a Audi A3 or a Fortuner or even a Toyota Revo and not a Fortuner. Here people dont care about the Utility.
What are you going to do with a 11 Seater V6 ? goto Khujrab Pass? or your driver is going to pick up kids? or go to a fancy dinner?
In Pakistan hardly people have long drives. In the US people live in suburbs and travel to city they need higer power engines. Even the base Yaris starts at 1500cc their.
This is definetly a useless vehicle for Pakistan.
Kia has probably done zero R and D or either they them selves were test modules for the vehicle.
Once again this is a failed product.
