The 1000cc Picanto hatchback will be the first small car offered by a mainstream automaker ever since the Auto Policy 2016-21 was announced. Although one might bring United Bravo into debate but that’s not coming from a renowned auto manufacturer and despite being on sale for more than a year, the vehicle is yet to step out of selected cities of Punjab province.
Kia Picanto is expected to give buyers an option among small cars– the segment which is wholly dominated by Pak Suzuki. The Picanto stacks up pretty close to the Pak Suzuki Cultus (Celerio) having similar dimensions as well as the engine. To read more about an in-depth analysis of the two, click here.
The Picanto will ideally be priced around the Suzuki Cultus variants, though official prices are yet to be announced. However since Kia-Lucky is going to introduce an out-gone Picanto model in Pakistan, they may be able to price it lower than the Suzuki rival.

hope they maintain quality and price. dont be greedy early on
Expected price for picanto around 18 to 20 lakh which is a serious concern. Price should be around 15 to 17 lakh. Anyway let’s see
agree. 18 lakh+ means kia is digging its own grave again
Price should be between 13 to 14. otherwise suzuki is enough for overpriced in market. then no need of new companies in pakistan.
price expectation?
Manual: 1300k
Auto: 1600k
Whats about its price….?
Price should be under 17 lacs
why they bringing old picanto? why not new one with tiger nose grill?
should give tough competition to cultus but price must be lower
Agree, the only competition to cultus is price, if same price then it will not be able to compete.
It’s auto variant must not exceed 1.4 million
Whatever price will be but after seeing too many Alto on Lahore roads, I believe people will buy and buy in numbers
