Lucky Motor Corporation (LMC) has raised prices for multiple Kia vehicles in Pakistan. The revised prices came into effect on July 1, 2025. According to the company, this decision is linked to several factors introduced in the federal budget.
Firstly, the newly applied NEV Levy has impacted the auto sector. Secondly, the Pakistani rupee continued to depreciate, making imports more expensive. Lastly, international freight charges have increased significantly. Therefore, LMC stated, โDespite efforts to absorb the impact,โ these adjustments were โunavoidable.โ
