QUOTE(Buydirect @ Mar 18 2013, 07:17 PM) Pricing for K3 is expected to be in the region of 95-98K from reliable sources. It will come with an improved engine and specs compared to the current Forte. It's definately worth waiting for...Cheers! Which engine? When can preorder This post has been edited by mystvearn: Mar 19 2013, 03:37 AM |

QUOTE(weakmeal69 @ May 4 2013, 06:33 PM) yeah,since i made a booking already thru my dad in msia. im gonna be back soon in july.. so i thgt to myself why dont i just go to the dealer here to look for the car myself. i compared current forte specs here with in malaysia are almost the same xcept for total airbags. so i guess, what u get here u will get in malaysia also.. so worth to check out. Pics please.30% is just my assumption bro. myb i got exaggerated while back then. but really there was current forte and k3 in the showroom.. so i got to test both of the legroom. really much of a different list of gadget worth for the 1.6 are like LED DRL, both front windows are auto, voice control, touch screen 4.3" display, smart key, cooled glove box, n the list go on and on.. i can upload the pics if u want it. but bear in mind this is the russian model but i think we will get this in bolehland also after comparing the current forte in russia with those in malaysia BTW, can book already? |

Thanks for the pics
BTW why the centre console screen small, unlike the youtube videos I see. Is that the base model? Which dealer can accept booking? I don't think the price is announced yet. |

QUOTE(weakmeal69 @ May 4 2013, 10:55 PM) i did my booking in sri kembangan.. Thanks for the info. Hope it is the bigger screen. Kind of lame if it was the smaller screen.as for the screen, thre are 3 types.. -the largest one u see in utube are the highest spec of all which is compatible with UVO system. -the 2nd one is the one like in the pic i uploaded (touch screen and have rear view cam) -3rd one the lowest spec( same size as 2nd but no touch screen and no rear camera) so, i think in msia only gonna bring the 2nd one. as for the price- here forte koup = 909900 RUB, as in bolehland = RM115 800. so im guessing for the 1.6(high spec) =RM110k and 2.0 = RM117k after comparing the price of k3 here. |

QUOTE(NiCkY @ May 9 2013, 11:08 AM) some pic of K3 with bodykit, enjoy ya. Try to drive inside UNITEN with that bodykit Btw, it wont be 110K for 1.6, i dun think naza will be so dumb. QUOTE(achol77 @ May 9 2013, 11:24 AM) 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 I'd wait until I see full spec sheet before booking. Especially to see K3 vs Elantra. Which is more value for money. Hopefully this time, Naza bins the sun roof-make the car cheaper. I'd rather go for a 7" touch screen than a sunroof. Even massage chairs are better.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. |

QUOTE(NiCkY @ May 19 2013, 10:49 PM) Volester is a sport coupe, and is to fight with crz, nothing to do with k3 pricing, thanks to that price, only i can see more crz on road, lol. They still have a coupe...only not hereHyundai used to hav a coupe model, which price high also. Is not a big suprise when they price so high for volester, i tot they will price it for 119k, but they seems greedy, hahaha. Look at current forte price, i would say it would be ok for a max 10k of price increase, anything more than that will kill the sales, if naza they wanna outsale hyundai den better pandai like other model, exp like sportage, k5, etc. I been following this model since it launch, hope the price is right... If not, i rather go for other choices like focus or wait for new 308. https://www.hyundaiusa.com/vehicles/2013/genesis-coupe/? |

QUOTE(achol77 @ May 14 2013, 10:38 AM) Depends.....some people put sunroof as a must criteria like my wife. Maybe she like the romantic moments under the moon & stars Sunroof is a hazard waiting to happen, especially in Malaysia.

QUOTE(Motorman @ May 20 2013, 08:06 PM) QUOTE(070 @ May 20 2013, 10:10 PM) Finally ... Kia Cerato (k3 ) will be officially launching on 2/7/13 . The rear lights are LED?There will be 2 spec on malaysia market : 1. 1.6L 2. 2.0L some picture for Cerato , [attachmentid=3448455] [attachmentid=3448456] [attachmentid=3448457] [attachmentid=3448459] [attachmentid=3448460] seems like steering is similar to Kia rio , and the audio unit is same like current sorento . with touch screen head unit , no CD changer function ,no GPS Limited unit available for 1st batch stock and priority will be given to early birds. welcome to contact me for those interested Vincent, 012-6867614 QUOTE(070 @ May 20 2013, 10:55 PM) price ? 1,6 98k +- Rm1000 Confirmed?2.0 118k +- RM1000 usually it will be somewhere like RM98888 for 1.6 , Rm118888 for 2.0 QUOTE(070 @ May 20 2013, 11:06 PM) Quite true. For some reason, Hyundai is quite stingy on accessories. Hopefully Naza will not become the same. BTW, anyone here know what colours it will be released in? |

QUOTE(Buydirect @ May 22 2013, 12:30 PM) 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. QUOTE(Buydirect @ May 22 2013, 04:18 PM) There are 2 things we are talking about here Do you have pics of the screen at the instrument cluster? 1) 4.3 Inch TFT LCD display (touch screen) on AUDIO system, with rear view camera. This is the audio player right in the middle of the car. 2) 4.2 Inch TFT LCD instrument cluster for 2.0L only. This is the one right above the steering wheel. For 1.6L, it is dot matrix display (no color) For 2.0L, it comes in TFT color display. Hope that clarifies. I assume the 4.3" is the same for both, only difference is the instrument cluster? |
