Its really small...

much smaller then city even...

guess would be equal to Proton Saga

max price 32 lacs is good enough....

more than that .......and nobody would buy this small dinky...

Base Variant should not be more than 24/ 25 lacs......as it is much much smaller then city and yaris too...
Nobody would buy a base variant more than that....i guess Kia is brining it against subcompact sedans like Honda City and Toyota Yaris.....

Corolla , Civic and Elantra are much much better cars in size and features....no SANE mind would compare this small Compact Utility Vehicles with these Sedans......i do no have the slightest of idea how Mr Suneel Munj compared Corolla and Civic with much smaller compact vehicle....

GOOD LUCK PRICING IT KIA LUCKY.....

GT road is saying possibly first week of November. Comparing Stonic to Vezel in dimensions - its 1 inch smaller in width and wheel base but almost 6 inch smaller in overall length. So, inner cabin space s

Stonic is basically a hatchback v v slightly bigger in size then Rio hatchback...

Chona laga rahay hain Kia walay...basically Stonic hai hatchback hee....lol

[abdullah1913]

Stonic Vs Picanto (Hahaha.....its basically a slightly longer Picanto)...designed in a clever way to appeal eyes...Height is almost similar

[abdullah1913]

Fazal Bhai ...

How can a car smaller than City and 2/3 the size of Civic and Corolla be 3.3 Mil PKR...

For what reason you speculate it to be 3.3 Mil ????

[abdullah1913]

Stonic Vs Honda Vezel

[centos]

Width matters the most. It's almost as wide as vezel which is pretty good. Vezel was smaller in length compared to civic at the time but no body cared because it offered many shashkey.

Well, I hope you are happy that I am NOT speculating it to be priced like Corolla and Civic like many people are doing for few months. I placed it right next to City and Yaris because that is where it should be positioned.

Keep in mind STONIC is lifted RIO hatchback and the sedan version of RIO is also available and is basically a B segment sedan and is an appropriate right competitive vehicle to Yaris and City BUT Rio sedan is not avaibale for the RHD market and even in LHD it is soon to be discontinued.

I believe it should be around 3 million for base and maximum 3.4 Million for fully loaded.

Cars are not priced just on basis of their size. A fully Loaded Golf R hatchback cost almost $50,000 with options ticked. Why not buy a BMW 3 series sedan and loaded one for the same price? 3 series is a sedan and much bigger in size than a R.

Well to be honest cars are gauged on following things by people in Pakistan, and they are least bothered about what is inside:-

(a) Brand standing and repo....
(b) How big a vehicle is in dimensions...bigger the better ...
(c) Resale Value
(d) Ride Height
(e) Fuel economy
(f) Looks of a car
(g) Price of a car

Push Start : Useless
Auto Braking : Useless in Pakistani traffic...car likes stops 20 times automatically with hard brakes in Pakistani city traffic and one usually keep its off
Heated Seats : Useless
Heated Side View Mirrors : Useless
Vehicle Stability Control : God knows...does it really engage in our car or not....as there in no visual indication
Hill Start Assist : One seldom goes to a hilly area in a car...no use i think..
Auto Parking : Impossible in Pakistani parkings
Airbags : They only operate once somebody wears a seat belt...and people feel insulted if they are told to wear a seat belt
Lane Assist : Hardly any lanes marked on Pakistani roads....even the lane paint on motorways is washed off/ faded
Cruise Control : Little bit helpful on long route driving....which one hardly takes...

So basically its a KHOBSORAT BARA TEEN DABBA ...that we can take anywhere..that's the harsh reality

ANGAAN

achay honain chaiyay BASS...Hahahaha

[zeeshan_awan77]

From that perspective, one must buy a Donkey cart and fix a Petter engine on it in order to keeps things suitable with Pakistani environment. Lols
