KIA STONIC Owners Fanclub Discussion Thread

[haroon9904]

It will be a disaster to price stonic next to altis 1.6.
It can snatch sales from potential Yaris City buyers because of the new global SUV trend but Altis is a class of its own

i now geniunely belive that pakwheels wants higher car prices, evey time a car is launched their price "wahi" is bonkers. and than they can come on a video and bash the prices becoming all saints.
The kia stonic price bracket was correctly mentioned by a few youtubers and even @fazalwahab11375 tried to correct them with his excellent article, but for some reason pakwheels still wants to ram this 4mil pricing in the nation's head.

I jut saw a video which showed that glory pro is priced below the civic where ever it is sold, and yet you dont see something like this from pakwheels, I doubt that they wont know this fact.

I do agree with you, pakwheels prices are so high that it feel as if they are creating hype for kia.

In Philippines base variant of kia stonic is priced just above the base model of toyota vios. In pakistan vios/yaris Gli Manual is around 25lac EX-showroom as per pakwheels. So base variant of stonic should be around 27 lac, max 28 lac. Top of the line model of stonic is hugely cheaper then top of the line variant of vios. But pakwheels want stonic to be priced at 40 lac.

MG ZX imported costs around 41 lac why a local manufactured car is priced close to imported ones.

I guess he did a good price comparison of stonic, yaris and city

I think coco used top gear lines in this video, "bites like a rabid dog..... in heat....with a vengance...bam!!" lol that line is from topgear uk.
but very good review none the less.

[hassannabeel27]

Stonic and BRV are priced similarly in some other countries. So It wont be a surprise if they price it in 33-34 lac range in Pakistan

PKDM Assembled.. clip from factory

If they are PKDM assembled with new logo that's a good welcome.

[Falcon22]

It is the price that will decide its fate. IMO anything above 3.3 million for a fully loaded variant will be a recipe for failure.

[fazalwahab11375]

All the vehicle spotted and also the one on the assmbley line is with new KIA logo.

Although, the interior of one of the unit seen has an older logo.

Seems KIA putting newer logo on the outside and have the same older logo on the interior. I believe STONIC is not available with the newer logo inside or outside, in any other country where it is sold.

Not sure, why mismatch logos. Seems it is easier to put new logo on outside but on steering there is a cutout for logo in oval shape and its kept the same old one. Again only happening in Pakistan

[engineerjibran]

not much of an issue if they do not compromise on quality much here and price it right.

[omaruser156370259465]

I would've preferred a Cerato in competition to Altis 1.6 but I guess Stonic would do the job in competing with Yaris and City. It's no way worth more than 3.0 million.

First Small locally assembled SUV......

We Pakistanis are crazy for SUVs, and this would sell like a hot cake....

We all are happy with KIA pricing till now...

InshaAllah they would not disappoint...

Hurrah....

[abdullah1913]

@fazalwahab11375 bhai no roof rails in the video.....

really they are not going to give roof rails in Pakistan????

[fazalwahab11375]

Ita not any issue..its just an observation..

[fazalwahab11375]

That's a base model.

[fazalwahab11375]
