KIA Lucky Motors has revised the retail prices of its vehicles in Pakistan, effective from July 1, 2025. This adjustment follows a series of economic challenges including the implementation of the NEV Levy in the Federal Budget, continued currency depreciation, and rising global freight charges—all contributing factors to the latest price hike.
Updated Price of KIA Picanto
The KIA Picanto AT, a well-liked compact city car, has experienced a significant price jump. The new price stands at Rs 4,090,000, compared to its previous cost of Rs 3,940,000.
This increase of Rs 150,000 is expected to influence many budget-conscious buyers who favor small, fuel-efficient vehicles for urban use.

The Picanto features a 998cc MPI DOHC 12-valve 3-cylinder petrol engine, delivering 69 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 9.6 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm.
The 1.0 AT variant comes equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission and delivers a mileage of 12–15 km/l, supported by a 35-liter fuel tank, making it an economical choice for daily commuters.
Exterior Highlights
On the outside, the Picanto sports KIA’s signature tiger-nose grille, multi-focus reflector headlamps with daytime running lights (DRLs), and heated, electrically adjustable side mirrors.
Additional features include body-colored handles, a rear wiper, micro-type antenna, combination tail lamps, and 14-inch steel wheels with full wheel covers.
Interior Features
Inside, the compact hatchback seats five passengers comfortably and comes equipped with electronic power steering, AUX/USB ports, a 12V power outlet, and a 2.7-inch LCD display for essential vehicle information.
Convenience is enhanced with power windows, an overhead lamp, front and rear speakers, rear headrests, and fabric-trimmed seating. The Picanto also includes keyless entry (folding key) and 60/40 split-fold rear seats for added cargo flexibility.
Safety Equipment
In terms of safety, the KIA Picanto is equipped with ABS brakes, five seatbelts, central door locking, rear-view mirror, theft alarm system, and ISOFIX child seat anchors.
Despite the price increase, the KIA Picanto remains a practical and fuel-efficient urban vehicle, delivering a reliable mix of modern styling, everyday usability, and value for Pakistani motorists.
