Kia Confirms New Car Launch in Pakistan

Kia Motors Pakistan has announced plans for an upcoming vehicle reveal at the Pakistan Auto Show (PAPS) 2026, which is scheduled to take place from September 18 to 20 at the Expo Centre in Lahore. The teaser for the new car shows an automobile navigating through a contemporary architectural setting, accompanied by the message, "The next standard won't follow the old one."

Kia has yet to disclose the name or technical specifications of the vehicle, but the teaser has sparked speculation that the company may bring the updated Kia Stonic to the Pakistan market. This speculation is supported by Kia's recent decision to discontinue the existing Stonic model in the country. The teaser's wording suggests that Kia is introducing a completely new presence on the road, rather than merely announcing an update or change.

The Pakistan Auto Parts Show (PAPS) 2026 will bring together automotive manufacturers, parts suppliers, and other industry stakeholders, with several new vehicle announcements and unveilings expected. Kia's mystery vehicle will be unveiled on the first day of the show, September 18, giving eager buyers little time to wait for confirmation on whether the company is launching a new Stonic or an entirely different SUV in Pakistan.
