The SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) is the most popular vehicle among Pakistan’s elite and upper-middle classes. SUVs have become the vehicle of choice for almost every aristocratic family in Pakistan. It is seen as a sign of prosperity and power. The majority of political and business leaders prefer SUVs to other elite sedans and hatchbacks. These automobiles are also provided to Pakistani executives by bureaucratic bodies and other elite private organizations. In the subcontinent, mostly Japanese SUVs are adored and traded. Although SUVs are categorized as light trucks, they are commonly used as family vehicles. Its four-wheel-drive capacity makes it suitable for both on- and rough roads driving. Since the late 1990s, these powerful cars have been more popular all around the world. SUVs are known for their ability to withstand adverse weather conditions such as rain or muddy paths.

Late last year, the car made its premiere in Malaysia, with two engine options. A 1.5-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder petrol engine with 148 horsepower and 225 Nm of torque is standard, while a 1.5-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder petrol engine with 177 hp and 250 Nm of torque is standard on the top model.

The Stonic is Kia’s entry into the subcompact crossover SUV segment, and it will compete against the Honda HR-V, Nissan Juke, Toyota C-HR, Corolla Cross, Suzuki Vitara, and Proton X50 when it arrives. It will apparently come in two versions, both of which will be powering by a 1.0-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder petrol engine. The base variant’s engine produces 99 horsepower (due to differences in tune and ECU programming), whereas the superior Connect trim-engine levels produce 118 horsepower.
