STONIC

The first generation Kia Stonic is coming to Pakistan.The car was first introduced in its home country, South Korea, in September 2017 and got a facelift in October 2020. The facelifted model is now making a debut in the Pakistani market. As per Kia, STONIC is derived from the words SPEEDY and TONIC, the first and last notes on a musical scale. On the Kia model portfolio, Stonic is the smallest Kia crossover that sits two steps down under Sportage. Kia Lucky Motors is locally assembling this car in Pakistan. The Completely Knocked Down (CKD) units of Kia Stonic are ready for shipment to dealerships for displays and test drives. The official launch is likely to be in early October 2021. There is not much information on the company’s end and nothing is confirmed yet. But we are expecting three variants of Kia Stonic, with price tags between 3 and 3.5 million rupees. The facelifted Kia Stonic model has design elements like black plastic cladding around bold wheel arches, side skirts, roof rails, 16” alloy wheels, and a lifted body that give the car the impression of an SUV for a compact body. There is a typical Kia tiger nose grille and horizontal character lines upfront with parallel lines down the bonnet.
