Picanto AT delivery has been shifted to may 21 due to shortage of auto gear kits so book accordingly

[wkhan5906]

Some features in Picanto that are probably not in it's locally produced competitors :

1: illuminated glove box
2: driver and passenger floor lighting
3: retained power after turning engine off. (So that windows can be rolled up, without having to re-do egnition switch)
4: trunk open indicator on dashboard
5: ISOFIX for child seat
6: central locking operable from passenger and driver door
7: 02 clasp knife key sets with immobiliser
8: organiser tray above spare tire in trunk
9: auto lights off when key out of ignition (In case Anyone forgets to turnoff headlights, all of the lights will be automatically turned off after car is locked in few minutes)
10: DLRs ( even though I don't really agree with their use)
11: Better road safety ratings as compared to the other cars. Cultus and alto have never had a road safety test.
12: lock lights don't flash when a door, trunk or the bonnet is open.
13: adjustable head rest for all 05 passengers
14: driver side seat height adjustment
15 :heated side mirrors
16: Fully Automatic gear
17: 5 seat belts
18: soild body + bulit quality
19: extra space box under front passenger seat
20: separate ash tray
21: rear wiper
22 :central mirror dimming
23 : flat bad after folding rear seats
24 sun glasses holder above driver seat
25: 5 headrests

3: retained power after turning engine off. (So that windows can be rolled up, without having to re-do egnition switch)

This is probably the most under-rated convenience which shows its value when you have it. It is very useful in my experience, more useful than it appears.

separate ash tray

Please don't smoke in the car, it is particularly bad for the people specially little children sitting in the car with you.

12: lock lights don't flash when a door, trunk or the bonnet is open.

This is present in Cultus too. It needs a long beep in this case since lights not flashing is easy to miss.

Picanto delivery time in Karachi? Own money?

I want to buy a picanto in a couple weeks. Please let me know if you guys have any updates.

[zuhaibafzal]

There is 4-5 months time on auto variant and one month on manual.

[fazalwahab11375]

Great indepth details.

I wish we could add #26 " latest generation "

These new companies have taken billions in tax free incentives, as a consumer, a model along with a global model should have been introduced. Anyways hope for the best.

Brother, as per the KIA dealership Clifton
Picanto CKD short, January delivery will switch to Feb end
I got this message as I am waiting for my own car that I booked at the end of Nov. So the only option you left is to get it over Own/Premium.

Anyone in this group that can help me as I want to report this to their higher management.

Bro inka drame nai khtm hote own pe gari 1,2 din me kisa a jati? Hai ? Deliveies late kr raha
They simple sell the cars on own and give lame excuses to the owners! Dealerships and investors have their fixed profit margin in that!

Hello, can anyone tell me if installing an android infotainment system from market will void the company warranty? I want android system with back camera in my picanto, the one company is providing is not android and it is without camera. What is the best option now?

[saad.ikram.5688]

Screw the warranty and get it anyways.
Even if you change a bulb they can easily argue alteration even if its same bulb wattage and specs.

This is Pakistan
