Kia Confirms Staggering Price Hikes in Pakistan (All Vehicles)

Lucky Motor Corporation (LMC) has officially revised the prices of multiple Kia vehicles, with increases reaching up to Rs. 700,000.

The new pricing structure came into effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to all customer orders invoiced on or after this date.

Reasons Behind the Price Hike

According to LMC, the upward revision is driven by several economic pressures. These include the “newly introduced NEV Levy” in the federal budget, the devaluation of the Pakistani rupee, and a surge in international freight charges. Despite the company’s internal efforts to absorb these shocks, LMC emphasized that such changes were ultimately “unavoidable.”
