KIA is more than just a name in the automotive industry; it’s a symbol of innovation and reliability. As a proud sibling to Hyundai, KIA has carved out its own niche, offering vehicles that are both stylish and dependable. The brand made a grand return to Pakistan in 2016, partnering with Lucky Cement, a key player in the Yunus Brothers Group (YBG). This collaboration has brought some fantastic vehicles to Pakistani roads, with the KIA Sportage and KIA Picanto quickly becoming fan favorites. From July to September 2020, KIA Pakistan celebrated a remarkable milestone, raking in Rs. 20.5 billion in sales, a testament to its growing popularity and trust among Pakistani drivers.
KIA’s journey in Pakistan has been nothing short of a saga. It first entered the Pakistani market in the mid-1990s with models like the KIA Pride hatchback and the sturdy KIA Ceres pickup. However, the road was bumpy due to issues with its then-partner, Naya Daur Motors. But KIA’s story didn’t end there. In December 1998, a new chapter began with Dewan Farooque Motor Company Limited (DFML), which also brought Hyundai on board. They set up Pakistan’s first automobile manufacturing plant, capable of producing 10,000 vehicles annually. Sadly, the venture hit a roadblock in 2008 when Dewan Motors went bankrupt, leading to KIA and Hyundai's exit from Pakistan.
Fast forward to 2017, and KIA made a powerful comeback, this time with the backing of Lucky Cement of YBG. This revival has been nothing short of spectacular, with KIA Lucky Motors bringing globally acclaimed KIA models to Pakistani consumers, reigniting the brand’s legacy.
Today’s KIA vehicles are a far cry from their predecessors, boasting advanced technology, stunning designs, and a host of features that enhance the driving experience. Whether it’s the sleek look or the innovative tech under the hood, KIA cars are designed to impress and deliver.
KIA is filling every niche in the Pakistani auto market. From rugged SUVs to efficient city cars, there’s a KIA vehicle for every need. These cars are not just available but are making waves at local dealerships, ensuring that every customer finds their perfect match.
