We will analyse which car has an edge and will discuss the price of Suzuki Fronx in Pakistan, price of Kia Stonic in Pakistan. The Stonic KIA and Suzuki Fronx features details and options available.
Background of Companies
First of all we will talk about both the companies. The Lucky group has partnered with KIA and now they are manufacturing or assembling the KIA lineup in Pakistan. Lucky Motors is not a joke as recently Lucky Motors has collaborated with GAC, the Chinese electric manufacturing car giant. KIA is available in Pakistan with a very strong group while the Suzuki Pakistan has been available for decades.
Suzuki Pakistan has a long history of assembling cars and bikes in Pakistan no one can beat the company’s network all around Pakistan. As compared to KIA Suzuki Pakistan has more presence across Pakistan with more spare parts availability with cheaper prices as compared to KIA. Suzuki Pakistan is now solely operated by Suzuki Japan as the company’s status had changed from a public company to a private company.
Prices
Now let’s discuss the prices because in the end the prices always matter first and in the case of KIA Stonic and Suzuki Fronx. KIA Lucky and Suzuki Pakistan are the automotive giants and heavy weights so the price factor will be the biggest contributor in a purchasing decision.
KIA Stonic price in Pakistan

The KIA Stonic price in Pakistan for a simple EX model was 4.8 million and the top of the line EX+ variant is priced at PKR 6 million. Also, a good thing about KIA Motors is they are offering Sharia complaint installment plans for each of the model and for Stonic EX+ model you can get your car by giving just PKR 3 million and the remaining amount of 3 million will be divided into 18 equal installments starting from 172000.

Key Findings of KIA Stonic variants comparison
The key findings clearly say that EX+ variant has some of the unique features like it has sunroof, black tinted windows and TFT screen on the speedometer is also with a bigger screen. Both variants have the 8 inch floating display which in my opinion is too small. Also the EX+ variant has larger and thicker tires with 16 inch alloy rims. I personally like the exterior of this car. The front of this car is inspired from a tiger face, like a tiger grill which is similar to the KIA Picanto, and the previous generation KIA Sportage.
Yet it has a modern design but still exterior wise this car looks outdated as compared to its bigger siblings. As currently KIA Picanto is officially discontinued that means Stonic KIA is the smallest CC car available by KIA lucky Motors.

Key Findings of Suzuki Fronx variants comparison
Suzuki Fronx basically launched in three major variants ranging from 5.99 million to 6.374 million. The highest variant has two sub variants but the only difference is the availability of colours. The variant which is at 6.374 million is available in dual tone colours while the variant with monotone colour is available at 6.29 million. Suzuki Fronx is a new addition in the current Suzuki lineup of cars and this car will definitely be a successful car because of its pricing and the availability of Suzuki network all around Pakistan.
Currently Suzuki Fronx price in Pakistan has introduced with introductory price range from 5.99 million to 6.374 million which in my opinion will change when the demand will increase. For the first time Suzuki has introduced a hybrid engine in any of their official cars launched in Pakistan. Suzuki currently does not offer any Shariah complaint installment plan just like KIA lucky Motors.
