Kia PICANTO ; Dedicated Discussion, Owner/ Fan Club Thread

Fazal bhai, you have ruined everything, lol. Price should be around 1.5 million for base model. 1.7 m will let buyers thinking ng over other options like 660.
If its 1.7 for base bye bye from.me. and yes for 660 coz of high price difference

[drtariqazeem]

Hahaha...
Well I agree with you 100%
Price should be 1.5-1.7 or may be 1.6-1.8 MAX.... and saying that it must be loaded with some good attractive features... only then they’l make market for them...
Will think about swapping my Passo with auto variant

[fazalwahab11375]

well.. Its just my assumption and guess and I hope I am 100% wrong in it and we get an attractive price.
Whatever the launch price is, it will not be static. We will definitely see a price increase after few weeks of launch same like Sportage.

As an example Sportage is waiting for another price hike, almost 6 Million for the AWD and 5.4 for the FWD. I have also heard that it will rise to even 6.5 Million for the AWD in a year time.

[drtariqazeem]

Another hike for Sportage
But why ? Dollar tu wahin ha...
Ya phir KIA also wants to “surprise” us?

[6609]

Any update here? when the booking will start?

[drtariqazeem]

So i got info that Picanto Bookings will open towards end of August likely last week... so guys enjoy Bakra Eid.... Picanto afterwards.

[drtariqazeem]

As per my info it will hit 2.0 mil mark for top of line variant... i hope i am wrong​

[6609]

Yeah I called the dealership in Lahore they are saying the same.

[zuhaibafzal]

there but Interior is completely revamped... and the new one is absolutely superb...

Pre FL and FL have same interior.

[ahsan1702]

Any estimated prices? Looking for a used car but may consider this under 20m

I think you should wait for it if you want to buy upto 2.0 mil
Introductory pricing will be there so you can avail that...
18-20 August tak tu qoum waisay hi lutt daalay gi or رانیں roast kerwaye gi... uskay baad din hi kitnay han.

[drtariqazeem]

Sir difference ha...
2nd was showcased in PAPS Karachi
I am talking about the 3rd gen...

[zuhaibafzal]

I still hoping for the facelift...In Expo2019 they displayed this as a prospect car for the Pakistani market and didn’t allow for video reviews saying that this might not be the actual model we bring...Im harping on the thought that just coz they launched Sportage as Facelift (whereas showed us the pre-FL) they might do the same with Picanto...

Although exterior looks are not much different in them, just teaks and tweeks here n there but Interior is completely revamped... and the new one is absolutely superb...

Sir difference ha...2nd was showcased in PAPS Karachi I am talking about the 3rd gen..

See, yourself you are talking about 2nd generation which we are getting.

Third generation definitely looks much better than 2nd generation inside and outside.

[drtariqazeem]

Sir maafi 🏻
Aap senior pakwheeler han...
Lafzon k intkhaab ma ghalti ho gayi hum sae.. shamaa kijiye ga mujhe...

Actually i was talking (wanted to) about the new one...

[pwuser150399349484]

How can we expect Picanto to not be near 2 million when 660 Alto has reached approx 15 million??

[muhammadadeel96]

It will be near 2M..Picanto will be a direct competitor to local cultus, wagon R and Imported vitz and passo. All 4 cars currently are between
1.6-2 Million range. If Kia hit the sweet spot in between them with better features it will be a massive hit. Considering the hassle in buying imported JDMs with those fake auction sheets this will be a peace of mind.

[drtariqazeem]

Yes. i certainly agree.
Introductory prices should be the key here...
Those who really wanna buy should pounce on the intro prices coz they will be tempting and won’t last long.
My take... KIA please place top of line at max 1.8

[omar4494]

Any idea about engine performance. BhP, milage per km, torque?

[nmeighty]

my sources say that , picanto will be in two variants, auto and manual. both 1000 cc. price would be between 16 to 17 for manual and 1+ for auto

Can you get some update from your source on Islamabad/Rawalpindi dealership?
