All New Cerato BD won't arrive to Malaysia until 2020.

Stunning whitey with customized body kit & stylish maroon leather seats .... What do you think?

Not another variant, but customized leather seat (after-market) thru my trusted and tested panel supplier.

Latest news is that it might come in by 4th quarter at earliest, but subject to government approval on pricing. The present government has not act speedily on price approval and many car manufacturers have to push back their new model launches to later dates. Kia Malaysia is not spared and is still waiting for 3 new variants that they plan to introduce since late last year. Therefore, it is quite difficult to predict exact date for new model launches.

All New Cerato BD -GT at recently concluded Australian Open . Hatchback version with custom designed body kit and rear spoiler. Looks stunning in the flesh !

Maybe it is the clock spring. Do check with the service center for replacement.

1.6 MPI Engine , sedan version is confirmed, it will be be launched sometime by 4th quarter this year, at earliest. We won't get the GT-line leafback/hatchback here, unfortunately.

Current model Cerato YD-PE will still continue to be sold from now until the end of 3rd quarter at very attractive pricing as mentioned. All New Cerato BD is targeted for launching only in 4th quarter or early next year.

Current Cerato YD-PE is under CKD program, not CBU from Korea.

No confirmation on GT-Line or GT to be offered for Malaysian market yet. Guess we will need to wait for further announcement by year end.

Kia Cerato has been a very reliable car. However occasionally, the airbag indicator may light up after a few years, which is often caused by a faulty clock-spring on the steering. Do check on this. No other major problem mostly. Good luck and happy car hunting.

There is a 2.0L red color unit year 2015 by Ejul Azizul in Kia Cerato Fan Club Malaysia FB group. You can PM him for direct price nego.

1) Most service center use Petronas and some Shell.
2) Stock head unit is not equipped with Android auto. But there is a mirror link function that you can use to connect your Waze from your smart phone.

If you have insured sufficiently, eg 2.5K-3K, then best to go to KIA authorised service center to do it. If you do it at outside workshops eg Dr Cermin / Windscreen and many others, the cost is cheaper, but am not so sure about the quality. If any forumers had experience with outside windscreen repairer, please share.

There are some Pre-Registered Kia Cerato Year make 2019 units going at very good offers now. Anyone interested ? Basically, they are brand new cars, but registered under the name of the company first, and later transfered to the new owner.

Some myth on Pre-registered cars
1) Resale value is lower compared to an unregistered unit
The resale value is very dependant on the Year Make and condition of the car at the point of sale, not so much on the past and number of previous ownership

2) Warranty not valid
The warranty shall be transferred to the next owner and valid for 5 years from the date of registration

3) Plate number registered cannot be changed
Usually, a nice number has been chosen for the plate number for the car. However, it is still possible to change the number thru a number interchange process but some cost for the interchange shall apply.

4) The pre-registered car is a test drive / showroom car.
In this specific case, the cars are NOT , they are basically brand new physically with mileage clocked only from the testing done at the factory, prior to shipment to the sales outlet.

Yes of course, but all sales discussion cannot be stated openly here as moderator does not allow. Can only do in PM mode.

For number interchange, it is only possible thru buying a new plate number from JPJ , not from an existing used car.

There are parts available for Kia Cerato for sure, as they are already thousands of units of Cerato on the road. What you heard from the owner may be just confined that particular outlet or location or perhaps for that particular time, am not sure, as don't know the whole picture.

responded.

Don't have, sorry.

Regret to inform all members, that the pre-registered Cerato has been SOLD OUT.

Responded to you personally. Thanks
