Meanwhile, the teaser video showed another caption: “Stay tuned to electrify your future.” Currently, Kia hasn’t unveiled any EV in Pakistan. It is expected that the company might launch the model named “Kia Niro EV,” which was earlier seen in 2023 but has since gone under the radar.

The much-awaited Pakistan Auto Show is set to happen from October 25 to 27 in Lahore. Moreover, Hyundai Pakistan is expected to launch its new Elantra Hybrid at the event, resulting in electrifying times ahead for the local car industry as an increased number of players are adopting the new technology.
