Positive news for car customers, Kia is changing trends by offering more in Pakistan. Not talking about just features here, Kia is offering four years or 100,000 km warranty which speaks volumes about the confidence they have in their product. This beats the current industry trend by far and should surely give more confidence to the customers about the quality Kia is offering.

We are excited about what will be next after the Grand Carnival since Kia has an award-winning global lineup of vehicles! We were also seeing some characteristic Kia cars being tested on the roads like Rio and Picanto. While the Kia Grand Carnival is available for test drive and sale in Karachi, Kia Motors is also offering test drives for the much awaited Kia Sportage which is not available for sale as of now. It looks like people will have to wait long before they can own a Sportage, yet they can take a test drive. All you have to do is register using the Kia Konnect app, and you will be all set to drive!
In addition to this, the commercial Pickup Truck called Frontier(k2700) has also been launched by the company, which looks to have a promising future. Nevertheless, Grand Carnival is in the limelight for now. Let’s see how this new car performs in Pakistan. Stay tuned for more updates.
