Yeah, sadly that is what is happening in Malaysia. Kia will have to let their product do the talking and hopefully it improves their brand positioning.

Yup, so true. Typical malaysian dont even bother to check any latest kia vehicles. They are too obsessed with the usual brands and just hantam kia blindly.

When i stepped in the GT, i was shocked and in awe. The interior fit and finish, i dare to say it is above VW (at least some of the models). The new sorento & sportage are already good but the optima GT is another level.

To back with the car quality, naza needs to improve the service centre. At least make it more comfortable for owners to lepak while waiting their car to be serviced.

For price to power ratio not much competition in the market now. Maybe only the Volvo V40 T5 at rm181K can compare. Passat 2.0 TSI is rm25K more. Others like C200 320i are way more expensive. I would have expected more interest but maybe the price doesn't match brand perception.

If you compare the price alone, yes v40 is the closest competitor but it is a segment lower.

At rm180k for a d-segment, its kind of lonely for its spec. Its a great car, but uncles will not be attracted, too expensive for young chaps.
