I went to Kia motors Township, Lahore today.

Their staff said that they will only launch one, it's not sure yet whether it will be Rio or Picanto, but it's confirmed that they will only launch one model.

They want to compete WagonR, Swift, Cultus type cars in market, so I believe they will launch Picanto

Picanto will cost around 13 lacs, Rio will cost around 18 lacs

Did they give a hint how much time would they take to launch in the market ?
6 months or something ?

i have heard that they will start selling the CBU units before local production. They can import 100 units of each variant with lower tax so definitely they will get benefit from it.

That was about Hyundai. Kia will not sale imported hatchbacks, only Carnival.
