Kia has announced a hike in the ex-factory prices of various models, effective from 1st July 2025. The company revealed that the increase in price comes as a result of several economic pressures, including the imposition of the NEV Levy in the Federal Budget 2025-26.
Moreover, the ongoing depreciation of the Pakistani rupee and rising international freight costs impacted the auto industry which led Kia to rev up prices.
According to the company, it had no option but to adjust prices accordingly. The updated price shows increases ranging from Rs95,000 to Rs700,000, depending on the vehicle variant.
