Kia PICANTO ; Dedicated Discussion, Owner/ Fan Club Thread

[drtariqazeem]

I am also hoping for a surprise

[drtariqazeem]

Yaaarrr... na zakhmo ma namak chirko...

[drtariqazeem]

Yeh 8 lac booking sa lag raha price kahin 18-20 hi na nikal aaye

[pwuser150399349484]

How can a new car have resale?? Resale will build slowly when many passo/vitz lovers will opt for it instead of used jdms. And as far as parts are concerned I think 3S dealerships never have issues with parts..

[pwuser150399349484]

Lets pray for the best but hope for the worst..

[drtariqazeem]

I did mention before that KIA will have advantage
In way that imports are gone for good... so they have an open field with only shitzuki in competition

[pwuser150399349484]

Yes very true point because without jdms in competition the only competitor is Cultus. But I think people will prefer Picanto over Cultus because AGS has not proved reliable especially in India

Normally this advance amount is little less than the full price of the car if we see how cars are booked in Pakistan. Applying the same analogy, we should expect pricing accordingly. So at 800,000 booking, I am expecting base price over 17.5

[drtariqazeem]

I was referring to Sportage price

[danishmmh]

Still Cultus is established, If it is priced anything above 1.85 for auto then it is a no go. I will stick with my vitz

[chinyoti]

This blue looks gorgeous around the clock, around the year just needs to be taken care off. Its similar to the one offered in sportage and looks quite like the coure blue. Definitely looked beautiful.

Bored of seeing all the white black grey silver hatches everywhere.

[Bilalicious]

No launch control
No bi-turbos
No conti sport contact 6 rubber
No 7speed DCT
No ludicrous mode

What were you expecting guys? Wakey wakey

[wasiqshahab94]

umm, how about alloys?

[wasiqshahab94]

very cheeky dr saab

[danishmmh]

Alloys, Navigation, Rear view camera. No not these.

Side Indicators?

ABS?

EBD?

this is a stripped down older generation Suzukified Korean car assembled in pakistan and if it is priced a 2million then vitz any day over it, will be difficult to find one but atleast it can be managed.

[vtecyo]

magar yaaaaar iski resale nai hogi

[speedster_101]

I would buy a 660cc fully equipped car over this any day. There's zero reason to buy this. It has no resale, there is hardly any part availability. Why not get a JDM that has more or less the same disadvantages but offers significantly more?

Agreed. In these times, even Suzuki who enjoys monopoly, is somewhat forced to improve. Now they have launched Cultus/Celerio and Alto latest generations in Pakistan. Whereas KIA who already has a bad name for abandoning its customers and running away in the past, is launching old and discontinued model of cars in Pakistan. A person's who is looking for new 1000cc car, the sensible choice is Cultus.

[suhaibayaz]

Alto RS Turbo

That car is such fun to drive, zippy little thing with cool styling and red accents.

[chinyoti]

Do you think people who buy

Hustler
Japanese WagonR
Mirage
Days
Ek wagon

Care about resale,

its the small automatic car everyone wanted. Their was a huge untapped market. GOD knows why didnt FAW tap it earlier. Suzuki rushed into AMT/AGS because finally (unki hawa nikli)

Last time when Suzuki launched Swift was when Vitz started making its mark, Santro didnt bother them. Infact Santro was killed due to the used Vitz.

For now Suzukis all 3 cars are absolutely new in the market. Spare parts prices are very high for now. Mehran 500 ka bumper, 100 rupee ki back light, 500 ki headlight is over.

Altos head light costs 15,000
WagonR non power side mirror costs 13-15k a peice for VXL
A back light costs 9,000 for WagonR.

This opens up a huge market for all car companies.

I dont see why a Honda Brio or a Daihatsu Mira/Axia shouldn't be launched now.

Yes i have turbo rs and its great ! Fun to drive and love to mess with 1300 cc cars 🤣
