Crossovers are becoming increasingly popular all around the world primarily due to their rugged appearance and high ground clearance which is considered a huge plus taking into account the sort of road conditions we have here. Although there is no trunk (diggi), still the luggage space is quite sufficient to carry goods of various sorts.
Since long it was reported that Kia-Lucky is considering to introduce a car that will entice Yaris and City buyers into opting for a crossover, and from the looks of it, Kia Stonic might be it. Although there is no concrete information regarding the pricing of Kia Stonic in Pakistan, however it should ideally be priced between PKR 2.5 million and PKR 2.9 million to take on the likes of City & Yaris. Do you think the Stonic crossover will prove itself as a suitable alternative to aforementioned sedans, let us know with your comments.
