Kia Teases the release of Luxury Sedan and an EV in Pakistan

• Kia Lucky Motor’s social media page teases two new automobiles.
• The Kia Stinger is one of the best cars made in Korea.
• Kia will stop selling the Stinger around the world by April 2023.

Kia Lucky Motor Corporation (KLMC) has hinted at two new cars on its official social media page. The cars in question are the Kia Stinger and Niro EV.

KLMC also gave hints about these cars in late 2020 as part of its marketing campaign. Wrapped in #WeAreUnstoppable graphics, the above-mentioned cars and a Sorento caused a lot of buzz on the internet.

Niro competes with vehicles such as the Honda HR-V, Toyota RAV4, and others on the market.

Here are the details of both cars:

Kia Niro EV

Niro competes with vehicles such as the Honda HR-V, Toyota RAV4, and others on the market.

In the video, the company gave a sneak peek at the Niro EV, which has two powertrain options:

a single electric motor that sends 130 horsepower and 394 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque to the front wheels.
a single electric motor that gives 201 hp and 394 Nm of torque to the front wheels.
The 13 hp version has a 39.2 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that gives it a WLTP-approved range of 288 km on a full charge. The 201-hp version has a 64-kWh lithium-ion battery pack that gives it a WLTP-approved range of 385 kilometres on a full charge.

Internationally, a Niro EV costs about the same as Rs. 7.5 million, but we don’t know how much it will cost in Pakistan right now.

Kia Stinger

The Kia Stinger is one of the best cars made in Korea. It is called a “super-sedan” and is compared to the Alfa Romeo Giulia, the Mercedes-AMG C Class, the BMW 3 Series, and other sporty sedans.

It also has two choices for its engine:

a gasoline engine with four cylinders, a displacement of 2.0 liters, and a torque of 353 nm.
a 3.3-liter V6 gasoline engine with two turbochargers that makes 368 horsepower and 510 Nm of torque.
An 8-speed automatic gearbox sends power from both engines to the rear wheels or all four wheels, depending on the market.

Internationally, the base model of the Stinger costs about the same as Rs. 8.5 million, while the V6 model costs a huge Rs. 11.8 million. Given how the economy, taxes, and prices work in Pakistan right now, this price will probably be much higher.

What Kia isn’t Telling Us

Even though this is exciting news, KLMC is a bit late because that’s what they do. Recent news from South Korea says that Kia will stop selling the Stinger around the world in April 2023. Also, we already know that it has already released a brand-new Niro model in other markets.
