Kia Picanto 2019: Owner's Review

[jibbbbzz]

AC doesnt have to work hard these days so winter mileage will definitely be better than hot summer mileage. Wait for the summer for true ac milage.

I will get my blue automatic picanto this week hopefully

[haaziq]

Lets hope for the best.

Thanks for your valuable feedback. Sure I will go for a test drive if they are offering it anywhere

Test drive is being offered on almost all Kia Dealerships, you just have to get an appointment.

In how many days did you guys get delivery of your picanto? 45 days have lapsed and it is 2nd deadline KIA Khyber motors Peshawar is giving me. I am already regretting my decision, this country is unprofessional and so are the government and companies operating here. If they can't fulfill their obligations now then what can I expect from KIA motors in future. I m thinking to cancel my order.

Sue them in consumer court they will compensate you for late delivery.

[danishmmh]

Cannot, they are not liable to pay anything until unless 60 days. so no point.

This is really really sad and dissapointing. Dont expect professionalism because operate hamarj jahil qoum he ker rahi hai

I received printed booking form on which 45 days are mentioned for delivery, when I paid booking amount 999000. And dealership sales manager said I will make it 40 and 48 days have passed and still car hasn't left assembly plant. After 25 days of booking dealership contacted me to pay full and after full payment I will receive car in ten days. So far three weeks have passed and I am into fourth week.

[waqar_waa]

And I sold my wagon r urgently to pay the amount, I believe I sold it for 30 to 40 thousand less in order to pay kia urgently

[dayrider]

go to the dealership, meet the owner, make a little fuss, see if vehicles are coming and going or not? usually vehicles are sold on own, see if that is taking place or not

[waqar_waa]

They called me and I am being told that there is some technical fault in assembly plant. My honest recommendation to all potential buyers don't buy it, it will soon be a piece of trash

[waqar_waa]

Kia motors staff know nothing, all they do is make guesses, and parts are not at dealership. I guess if you need headlight for replacement as our taleem yafta and tahzeeb yafta awam on roads will compel you for it, first of all it will be hell expensive and secondly it will take months to arrive from karachi and their systems and plant is not working normally.

Finally a proper picanto review

[haaziq]

Dear Waqar,
Kindly keep this thread for owners review only.
We have separate threads for discussions.

[jibbbbzz]

I think after this review it has become pretty clear that picanto is another overpriced pice of ****. Shabash automakers , keep coming to pakistan and sell your your discontinued junk.

[haaziq]

410 kms in 26 litres of petrol.
Do your maths.
Reasonable average for a fully automatic 1000 cc car within city.

[IceCold]

I had a test drive booked of Picanto but didnt go as i thought to myself what would be the advantage, I am stuck with Alto anyway being on lease and will not be able to lease another car even if sell it now. It will remain on my name till the bank clears it.

[haaziq]

After having 4100 kms on my Picanto, following are the pros & cons.

PROS
Excellent build quality.
Comfortable ride for 2 adults and 2 teens/Child as rear seat space is a little less than expected.
Excellent road grip.
No noise (engine or tyres etc)
Powerful engine.
Smooth Transmission.

CONS
Price should have been 1.8 to 1.9 million for the Automatic version.
Less dealerships
Less road presence at the moment
Availability of Expensive parts as compared to its competitor
Market acceptability is less
