For a long time, compact SUV in Pakistan meant picking between reliable but unexciting options. The
Kia Sportage L changed that conversation the moment it landed, and the 2026 lineup pushes further, genuinely competitive hybrid tech, a long-wheelbase platform built specifically for this market, and a features list that makes rivals costing similar money look dated by comparison.
KIA Sportage Price in Pakistan
The Kia Sportage price in Pakistan spans three variants, and the difference between them isn't cosmetic, each step up genuinely changes what's under the hood and what's watching the road for you.
- Alpha: PKR 8,899,000
- FWD: PKR 10,499,000
- HEV: PKR 11,299,000
Alpha – Entry-Level
The Alpha is the base trim. It comes with cloth seats, a rear camera, 2 airbags, and a 4-year warranty. It suits buyers who want the Sportage L look and name without paying for extra features.
FWD – Most Value-for-Money Variant
The FWD adds a lot for the price jump. You get 6 airbags, a panoramic sunroof, a power boot, and a dual 12.3-inch screen. For most Pakistani families, this trim gives the best mix of price and features.
HEV – Top Variant Specs
The HEV is the flagship trim. It runs on a hybrid engine that makes 227 hp combined. It also comes with a full safety pack and a premium sound system.
Kia Sportage L 2026 On-Road Price (Filer vs Non-Filer)
The showroom price is not your final cost. Your on-road price also includes registration, token tax, and withholding tax. Tax filers pay less withholding tax than non-filers.
- HEV in Karachi: ex-factory price is PKR 11,299,000. A filer pays close to PKR 12,129,678 on-road. A non-filer pays close to PKR 13,259,578.
- The gap between a filer and a non-filer is close to PKR 1.1 million on the HEV trim alone.
This gap changes by city, since token tax rates are not the same across Pakistan. Check your local motor registration office for the exact number before you book.
Engine
2.0L MPI Petrol – Alpha & FWD
Both the Alpha and FWD run on a 2.0-liter petrol engine. It makes 154 hp and 192 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
1.6L Turbo Hybrid – HEV
The HEV pairs a 1.6-liter turbo engine (177 hp) with an electric motor (59 hp). Combined output is 227 hp and 350 Nm of torque. The battery charges itself through braking, so you never need to plug it in.
Fuel Average by Variant
Fuel average across the range falls between 10 and 20 km/L, based on the trim and your driving style. The hybrid HEV gives the best number in city traffic, since the electric motor takes over at low speeds and during braking.
Safety Features & ADAS
Airbags & Structural Safety by Variant
- Alpha: 2 airbags, ABS, ESC, hill assist, rear camera
- FWD and HEV: 6 airbags, plus everything in the Alpha
Kia Drive Wise ADAS (HEV Only)
The HEV trim gets Kia's full driver-assist pack. This is not on the Alpha or FWD:
- Forward Collision Avoidance Assist
- Lane Keeping and Lane Following Assist
- Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance
- Smart Cruise Control
- Driver Attention Warning
- Front, rear, and side parking sensors
If you drive on the motorway often, this pack adds real value to your trip.

Which Kia Sportage L Variant Should You Buy?
Best for First-Time SUV Buyers
Pick the Alpha if this is your first SUV or you are moving up from a sedan like the Corolla or Civic. You still get the same body, the same badge, and a 4-year warranty.
Best Overall Value
Pick the FWD if you want the most features for your money. The sunroof, bigger screen, and extra airbags make daily driving more comfortable.
Best for Highway and High-Mileage Drivers
Pick the HEV if you drive long routes often. The lower fuel cost and full safety pack pay off over time.
Warranty & After-Sales Support
- All variants: 4-year or 100,000 km standard warranty
- HEV only: extra 8-year or 160,000 km hybrid battery warranty
- First two scheduled services are free on all variants
Kia sells and services the Sportage L through its own dealer network. Parts and support are easy to find in most big cities.
Kia Sportage L 2026 vs Rivals
- Sportage L vs Changan Oshan X7: Oshan X7 is priced from PKR 79.49 to 92.99 lacs, close to the Sportage L Alpha and FWD range.
- Sportage L vs Jetour Dashing: Dashing starts at PKR 78.99 lacs, slightly below the Sportage L Alpha.
Both these SUVs sit close to the Sportage L on price. The final choice often comes down to brand trust, resale value, and after-sales support. Kia has a longer track record in Pakistan on all three.
