I think that FAW V2 (worth Rs. 14,99,000/- having 1300 CC power) is far better than kia Picanto. I am using V2 since June, 2016 and enjoying it very much. Kia is playing game with Pakistanis like Suzuki Motors. Buyers must open their eyes.
Am concerned about it’s performance parallel to it’s price. Had a bad experience with KIA Sportage. These are high priced low performance vehicles. Buyer be Aware.
This car is worth only 10 lacs. Greed and great amounts of blackest of the black money anywhere in the world has doubled the price in land of the pure profiteers.
Buy an alternate Chinese car, which is cheaper and will give a better value for the money paid out.
I think picanto price too high
Dear Concerned, I hope you are doing well. Keeping in view the shape, 1000cc engine and shape of the vehicle i think the price in too high.
I would suggest to reconsider the price.
Best Regards
1.9million for 1000CC hatchback…i think KIA don’t want to run its business.. disgusting
Not looking great. Prince Pearl & Bravo has much beautiful dashboard then this. It look very basic and if the price tag is 1.8 to 2.2 as suggested, KIA is soon running out of Pakistan again.
