Good resale for Korean brand. AWD variants hold value significantly better than FWD. 3-year car typically 65–70% of purchase price.
Our Verdict
Best spec-per-rupee used SUV in Pakistan under Rs. 1 crore. Buy ONLY with full DCT service history from Lucky Motors. Avoid any Sportage with unknown or incomplete transmission service records.
