Another Price Increase!

[azfarnb]

At this point, it is safe to say our auto industry is a cartel.

[babersikander]

Ab konsa dollar barha hai ??? It actually went down from 189 to 182. What a pathetic state of affairs. Absolutely hopeless situation. Matlab 2.7 million ki picanto ???? KIA walon ne socha k Bhai jub civic 6.5 million ki ho sakti hai toh humari Sportage 6.3 million ki kyu nahi...sub apni marzi se paisay bardha Rahe Hain. Happens when you have absolutely no regulatory authority. Funny thing is that, PAMA released car sale figures for the month of march and the car sales have increased all over the board compared to previous month. People are still buying these overpriced cars. This is giving auto manufacturers incentive to increase the prices since their sales are actually increasing lol...Who is to blame ?

[OgRe1985]

Is it true?

[OgRe1985]

Well if true then i am going to cancel my booking. They refused to receive full payment last week and told me to wait and now this price increase.

[hassaan.shakil1]

Yes, it's true

[alibintahir]

It's official now and unfortunately is 100% true!

[azfarnb]

Eventually it is your decision but i’d advise chup kar k pay up. Cancellation would result in 5% administrative charges.

Baki marzi boss apki.

As far as I know, to date, Lucky Motors is not deducting any money in case of cancellation because of the price increase. However, I don't know about any recent changes in their policy whatsoever.

[azfarnb]

Maybe, i don’t know. I just mentioned what’s in the legal contract which we signed when buying.

[harisworld13]

Price increase ki waja se no deduction

[OgRe1985]

No deduction. I will cancel it and buy tucson or Oriel Civic on premium. Tucson AWD is also available on 1 month wait with full payment so no need to buy sportage now.

[xuhaibkhan1]

This is why I decided to buy car on premium, exactly 60days back I paid 60lac 50th, for awd with invoice of 58lacs.
There is no dept in pakistan which will ensure that people get the car at the booking price.

I recommend to get it checked from dealer. They are helpful and supportive and will fix it.

I also faced this wind whistling noise on high speed. It comes from front bumper air vent and got it fixed.

For rattling noise, mine was very very minimum still ask these guys to fix it. They kept my car for whole day and it got much much better. So I suggest to visit dealer and let them know the issues you are facing. Take them for test drive and they will fix it.

[muhammad.taqi.87]

Do check for interior built quality and stuff. Heard they feel pretty cheap like the screen, wireless charger, steering buttons etc. I at one point of time was also confused between Sportage and Tucson. Finally, after checking both cars opted for Sportage

[amalik6]

Have to disagree on that. The main reason I opted for Tucson over Sportage was the better interior looks and getting more of an SUV feel while driving. The better exterior looks came as a bonus.

[alibintahir]

I strongly agree with you as I had the same experience and at the time of purchase, I was confused too, test-driven both of them, in my opinion, the exterior looks of Tucson is better than Sportage and the interior looks a little modern too with floating screen and all, but when it comes to Interior finishing and overall experience with the Infotainment system, Sportage is much better than Tucson and I also find the suspension of Sportage to be on a bit softer side in comparison with Tucson, and last but not the least, KIA's dealership network and aftersales service, I opted for Sportage and I'm completely satisfied with my decision.

[waleed80]

I also find the suspension of Sportage to be on a bit softer side in comparison with Tucson,

Totally agreed. I have a 2021 Sportage FWD. My colleague bought a Tucson and got delivery last week. Test drove it and found its suspension a lot harder than my Sportage. No clue why is it so

[muhammad.taqi.87]

Well, looks are totally personal preference and I respect that
I personally like interior of Sportage compared to Tucson.

Same here. Tucson interior (for me) is overdone, plus, the finish and quality of Sportage interior is clearly better than that of Tucson. The biggest difference though is the ride comfort. Sportage is way more comfier than Tucson. Why? I have no clue
