Kia Sportage Value for money?

[khurem]

In case you have made up your mind on Kia, good news for you is that FWD version is still available at its launch price of 46 lacs. So better value proposition than AWD or other alternatives.

[hassaan9911]

fwd is 49 lacs....where did you heard about 46?

[khurem]

You need to visit the showroom. I got to know that when I went there day b4 yesterday.

[nihilist]

better than mercedes

I like this guy.

[harrissaeed89]

Hahah Yokos on front, Goodies on back and cheap drugs in the blood stream....phr shahid City would feel better then JDMs and Germans....
City is nothin' more then an entry level sedan for first time buyers....not a 2JZ Supra

Sab ka dimag khapanay k bad toyota or honda ki larai karwanay k bad civic book karwa li.its not fair.apnay to purchase nahi ki per minay kar li hay kamal ki gari hay janab

My personal preference is safety and city doesn't stand a chance. It doesn't have air bags which even alto has now. Shame on Honda atlas for charging that much amount and not giving safety features

[qwertypoiu]

Now city has it asfar as I know

You might have booked a Civic in this case. Congrats on that, it your personal choice.

But, the question is value for money. And, Kia Sportage perfectly fits this description.

It has features that other PKDM manufacturers can't even imagine introducing in PAK. It's a safe and modern vehicle. Sold worlwide with huge success.

There are no reliability issues either. It's a global success.

But of course, our awaam has not yet come out of their old school thinking. They would still think a City or GLI or XLI is better because ye to reliable hai - without caring about modern features and safety.

Even auto tranmission took years to become normal in PAK.. people were like it has too many complications, mechanic nai samajhte, kharab hogai to kia hoga .... and the old school mindset did not allow automatics to become common for a decade...

This awaam has never seen modern features in a local car... it will take some time for them to understand that the rest of the world is far far ahead...

4 million for a sedan like Corolla or Civic.. which are treated like khota gaari in the rest of the world.. and you are also getting a proper SUV close to that range, which is a worldwide success.. I think it is easy to understand which has more value for money.

[fasbas123]

A corolla or a civic at 4 mil or above mark is anything but value for money.

[darthvader]

What are these modern features?

[mgalaxy3]

powered seat adjustment
lumbar support
rear seat adjustments
heated mirrors
smart tailgate
front parking sensors
dual zone temperature control
auto lights
auto defogger
Android + apple carplay

and above all it's an AWD SUV 2.0L with a proper road presence.. in the price of 4 million. You get khota gaaris like civic and corolla in this range here.

[fastian04]

According to your logic, toyota and Honda worldwide would have gone bankrupt on their top selling variants. Khair only time will prove the quality and reliability. Plus additional 10 lacs is not so ignorable as well. If kia stays here it can certainly sell well. Modern features are divided in local pkdm cars... Corolla for instance...

Reverse link
Auto headlights
Rain sensor
Paffle shifters
Rear seat adjustment.
Toyota connect

These are just features..nothing very special to make a choice civic has turbo as well.... Sedan buyer will buy a sedan..suv buyer can however go for Sportage..as fortuner is way higher in price

please do not forget KIA Spectra & Sportage from 90's. those which are on road are swapped messed up with their owners'

[darthvader]

It’s 5.5 million actually. Add taxes and you’re looking at nearly 6 million. Where do you get off comparing a 40 lac car with a 60 lac car? A 6 million rupees car with a slower engine than a 1.5L Civic.

[pwuser150643793487]

I bought KIA Spectra brand new in 2004 and after the first five years it made me weep as most of the times genuine parts were unavailable, even if available they costed like as if I was maintaining a Benz (only 2 dealers in Karachi had the parts) and to top it all none of the mechanics (after KIA Service Center Closed since company wrapped up) understood its issues/ faults. All repairs were like hit and miss. Eventually I sold it after 7 years with 60% loss on purchase price. That is why there is the reliability factor.

[Hussain1510]

I believe when Deewan launched Kia in early 2000s, they didn't invest in production plant. The cars were imported and sold.

This time around Yunus Brothers group i.e Lucky cement and ICI walay have invested billions in plant. Dealerships are opening all over Pakistan. So fingers crossed!!

Turbo is for 4.5 million and add taxes on it aswell. Plus FWD is available at price of 4.6million.

Sportage totally worths its price. Infact, the most valuable car right now in our market.
