The hybrid crossover market in Pakistan is gaining momentum as Lucky Motor Corporation (LMC) introduces a new 18-month installment plan for the Kia Sportage L HEV. With rising vehicle prices and expensive conventional bank financing, Kia Pakistan is offering a Shariah-compliant EMI scheme to make its flagship hybrid SUV more accessible to buyers.
This new financing option focuses on the long-wheelbase Sportage L HEV, a model that has attracted strong attention since its launch due to its improved space, performance, and fuel efficiency.
Sportage L HEV EMI Plan – Payment Details
The installment plan requires a significant upfront payment but removes traditional interest costs, making ownership more predictable.
| Detail | Amount (PKR) |
|---|---|
| Ex-Factory Price | 11,299,000 |
| Down Payment (50%) | 5,649,500 |
| Monthly Installment | 330,528 |
| Tenure | 18 Months |
This structure allows buyers to split the remaining cost over 18 months through a Shariah-compliant financing model.
What Makes the Sportage L HEV Stand Out?
The “L” badge represents the extended wheelbase, giving the SUV noticeably more rear passenger space compared to the standard Sportage previously available in Pakistan. This makes it more practical for families and long-distance travel.
Performance & Hybrid Powertrain
The Sportage L HEV is powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged hybrid engine delivering a combined output of:
-
227 horsepower
-
350 Nm of torque
This setup provides a strong balance between performance and efficiency, making it suitable for both city driving and highway cruising.
Fuel Economy Advantage
Fuel efficiency is one of the biggest selling points of the Sportage L HEV. The hybrid system delivers an estimated 16 to 20 km/l, which is significantly better than the 10 to 12 km/l typically seen in conventional 2.0-liter petrol SUVs. With fluctuating fuel prices in Pakistan, this improved economy can lead to substantial long-term savings.
With the launch of this 18-month EMI plan, Kia Pakistan is making the Sportage L HEV more attainable for buyers looking for a spacious, fuel-efficient, and feature-rich hybrid SUV. The combination of extended cabin space, strong hybrid performance, and improved fuel economy positions it as a compelling choice in Pakistan’s growing hybrid crossover segment.
