I just yumcha with 1 of Kia dealer boss, he confirm that will launch around Jun or July. He told me that price definitely increase like what u guys said. Probably 1-2k cheaper than Elantra.

last month went to Kia SC setapak, saw the new K3 (covered by many sticker) driving in and out of the SC..... i believe the launch will be soon...

This for low specs version, I think the High specs will use the Rear Combination LED Light

why there want to sell this k3 more then 90k ah? really is to protect this old version 1.6 for the 2nd hand value meh

jootat,
fight with vios n city ma now 1.6 selling 81-85k consider cheap n nice car but if more then 90k liao so maybe consider expensive even the spec n engine is upgrade liao.

Yes K3 is the C segment Car. The specs is better compare with Civic 1.8

i just watch some k3's 0-100 on youtube, seems abit slow. what is the official 0-100 time? looks abit slower than other 1.6 NA car imo...

Slow???
Pls visit the below SOS tested by motor trend.
Chili SOS

It shown 2.0 2014 forte done 0-96km/h in 7.8s.
It was even faster than new Golf TSI

One thing's for sure, no cream color leather for Malaysian spec... :-)

Still no news yet, guys. If there is any, will share over here...

yup, booked already mine.. but refundable
yeah true.. but i would really like if they come with ventilated seat and voice system.
Warning! large sized pics!

here r the interior shots

sorry for the quality.. imma poorfag only using xperia x10

color options i dont know yet.. but im aiming for the red one

my sa told me probably will launch k3 end of june or early july.. i'll be back to malaysia on 23rd july.. hopefully got the car already by that time

You're in Russia, that's how you get to view the K3. Under same old management, expect the K3 pricing under Japanese price range.

Recall the current Forte, worldwide launched in end Q3 or early Q4 2009, we got ours in Dec 2009. Since it's Korean made with direct CBU from Korea (only to get CKD status by refitting doors here), we should get them not long after Singapore. Won't be long.

If NASA could only bring in 1 variant, which engine do you guys think should bring in? Bring in K3 1.6L if priced at Elantra pricing might not have Rio sedan 1.6. If bring in 1.8L or 2.0L K3, then we can have Rio 1.6 at RM90k high spec and RM85k for low spec.

if the price is ok wth the specs offerd, i'd wait
confrm in Spore launched in july.. saw in their fb. i dont think they'll bring only 1 variant.. they will not dare to kill the market since sale of current forte is actually rather good.
hopefully.. as for me, im just about to start work, so my dad suggest me not to take a high cc car since fuel cnsumption might be high

some pic of K3 with bodykit, enjoy ya.
Btw, it wont be 110K for 1.6, i dun think naza will be so dumb.

Was informed my SA yesterday, booking can be made now. Expected June arriving. Cost est 1.6 98k and 2.0 110k. Yes, they only have 2.0 and not 1.8
But with the price of 110k, it sure put hyundai elantra (1.8 only) run for their money. And knowing Kia, it will be higher spec than hyundai. I will book mine this weekend if the SA can refund my money.....in case la I dont like the interior. Seen white leather interior in youtube, don't like it.

The body Kit effect on K3 is not as outstanding as it does on the current Forte model, agree?

Another 7weeks to go for k3 !  

yeap , it will be 1st weeks of july   

Rear light not LED , is same like current rio & sorento type , forget the name of light   

for the price , not confirm yet but it will be at that range

The interior of the Kia Cerato K3 c/w Center Console Sliding Arm Rest for extra comfort.

Welcome enquiry!

parking assist and active econ dun think will get. but glove box with cooler i think can get since rio also equipped with one

The spec will come with Front & Rear Parking Assist system in the form of 2 ultrasonic sensors at the front, and 4 sensors at the back, with dot matrix LCD cluster for 1.6SX and TFT color LCD cluster display for the 2.0. These LCD display would show how close your car is to any obstruction with 3 bars being the furthest, and 1 bar the nearest.

However, it does not have the auto-park feature, which is what you are asking. Not for the Malaysian spec anyway.

Why my K5 got no front sensor?
