Kia Resumes Bookings for Its Best-Selling Vehicles

In a promising development, Lucky Motor Corporation Limited (LMCL) has resumed bookings for its best-selling cars.

The company had suspended bookings for Kia Sportage, Stonic, and Picanto last week without stating a reason. However, market reports reckon that the company wanted to re-evaluate its pricing. Shortly thereafter, Kia increased the prices and restarted bookings.

Last week, Toyota IMC also suspended bookings, which it resumed earlier this week. According to analysts, several more price hikes and booking suspensions are likely to occur this year due to the volatility of local currency and soaring operational costs.

Kia continues to enjoy strong demand for its cars despite the price hikes. As per unofficial reports, the company sold north of 1,000 units, the majority of which consisted of Kia Sportage.

The recent price hike has driven the value of Kia vehicles much higher, which is likely to impact the company’s demand.


  • Not really a promising development for the customers is it, they jacked up the prices and started booking again. Sportage increased by c. 1mm in the last few months alone. Shipping costs have risen and rupee deval is true too but these arbitrary hikes, on the face of it, seem too extreme to be input cost based only. With zero regulatory oversight, don’t really blame Lucky, after all, it is Capitalism at its best

    Very unfortunate for genuine customers though with an own/black riddled market, end consumer is the only one who suffers. Keep gathering funds for months and months only to know you cant catch up to the prices cause they keep going higher and higher.

  • Car companies in Pakistan take partial payment and after months when they deliver the car, than they give you a choice, either pay extra because price has increased or take your money back.
    Only if we had started manufacturing in Pakistan than the prices wont be so high. Ab lagta hay we are stuck at a bad place

  • No regularion by Govt. These car manufacturers are like bulls doing shamelessly and forcefully what they want. Consumers are the affectees only.

  • It is insane that you booked a car now on current price and after months later you are to pay them extra again?
    How much pitty this is all

    Prices must be kept same after booking,weather partial or complete
