KIA Stonic vs. Suzuki Swift | A Very Tough Comparison After Price Cut

A few days ago, KIA Lucky Motors announced the surprising news of reducing 1.5 million PKR on their Stonic’s top-of-the-line variant as a customer care initiative and to boost sales. Because of its pricing, this model wasn’t a very good performer in the KIA lineup.

In a competitive response, Pak Suzuki has also made a huge price adjustment in the Swift lineup on May 01, 2024. The top-of-the-line variant of the Swift now comes with a price cut of 710,000 PKR. This move now intensifies the competition between the KIA Stonic and the Suzuki Swift, making them very strong rivals of each other in the market.

Here are the updated prices of both cars after the recent price reduction:

KIA Stonic EX+: PKR 4,767,000

Suzuki Swift GLX CVT: PKR 4,719,000
