    That could’ve been the case if the KIA was made in SK but it’s made in India too.
    But random non-car niggers in the street in this shithole got no idea to differentiate a kia SK or Bharath,so the buggers at Kia SL know the mentality.most of the customers buy the shit to satisfy others
    THEY TRUST THE "LOGO" NOT THE ORIGIN (in my experience)

    Eh, it’s 2025, cars made in Japan have Chinese parts in them now

    Car production has been globalized to the point where origin isn’t as crucial as it used to be. For example the Japanese import the FronX which is made in the same assembly plant for both the IDM and the JDM

    Kulé formulae in Srilanka
    Kia=high caste
    Suzuki=low caste

    cost calculation=vehicle price+caste
    kia කොහෙද බං high caste වුණේ. Toyota ගන්න බැරි වුණ එවුන්ට හදපු අඩු කුලේ එකක්. ( නිකන් කියනවා නම් ලස්සන කෙල්ලෙක් නමුත් අම්මා රෙදි නැන්දා කෙනෙක් වගේ).

    අන්න lexus රදල නෙවේ.... ඒත් පට්ට

    I'll give you the answer in two words

    Corporate greed !

    Plus i think there is a tax difference given that Sonet has far better options than Fronx

    Like leather interior
    Electronic seat adjustable
    Sunroof
    Digital display
    Air purifier
    Ventilated seats

    The list goes on
