  "account": "Kia has updated the pricing for its Sportage L and Sorento hybrid models in Pakistan after a recent change in the sales tax rate. The tax change led to a significant price increase, but Kia plans to absorb most of the impact to lessen the burden on customers. The Sportage L facelift variant, priced at PKR 7,899,000 as of June 30, now costs PKR 11,299,000. The discontinued Sportage L 2.0L FWD model remains at PKR 10,499,000 with limited stock. The 1.6T FWD HEV variant, previously priced at PKR 11,299,000, is now PKR 12,199,000. A new facelifted version of the Sportage L with all-wheel drive and hybrid options is available for PKR 13,299,000. The Sorento 3.5L V6 model retains its previous price of PKR 13,649,000, while the 1.6T FWD HEV variant increased from PKR 15,299,000 to PKR 16,299,000. Kia has added the Sorento 1.6T AWD PHEV to its lineup, now priced at PKR 17,899,000. Kia has also clarified that any new or additional government-imposed duties, taxes, or charges will be the customer's responsibility, and ex-factory prices exclude freight and insurance charges. EMI financing will no longer be available for bookings made after August 15, 2026.",
