New Prices for Kia models in Malaysia after SST exemption by the government.

Not launched yet. Probably 4th quarter of this year, at earliest. Gonna be CBU Import and price is expected to be at least 120K and above.

Yes, about the same, but need to look at the specs of the car.

Current Kia Cerato 1.6 K3 (SX) model is moving very fast, due to the SST exemption. Those who are keen to take advantage of the price factor, do decide fast before the stock runs out....

The warranty for the head unit is only 2 years or 40,000 km. There are many alternative head units in the market with android auto, and they are mostly below RM400, you just need to check in the Cerato car FB groups for the sellers.

Chip based electronics has a certain lifespan, much like smart phones, it won't last forever, unfortunately. Time to change bro.

The unit you intend to buy is already after the warranty period, so there is no need to be concerned. As for existing KIA owners still under warranty, the warranty is under Kia Motors Korea and any claims can still be made when the new distributor is officially on board. This is my understanding but subject to any official announcement by new distributor later.

The support will there, no doubt about it. Kia and Hyundai are the 4th largest automobile company in the world and they have big plans for Malaysian market. In fact, Kia Motors ,South East Asia regional office is based in Kuala Lumpur.

If you mean the original head unit of YM 2020 model, it does not come with Apple Carplay either. You need to get those after-market unit.

Kia Motors Corporation plans to make Malaysia the regional manufacturing hub for the Kia vehicles in Asean and other potential markets.

Kia Asia Pacific president and chief executive officer Ted Lee said the South Korean carmaker had recognised the vast potential Malaysia would bring.

Kia had found it timely to raise the bar to progressively tap into Malaysia's potential, Lee said at the signing of a joint venture agreement with Bermaz Auto Bhd (BAuto) to form Kia Malaysia Sdn Bhd here today.

For a start, Kia Malaysia will undertake the assembly of completely knocked down (CKD) of three Kia vehicles.

The first two models - Kia Seltos and Kia Carnival - are expected to be produced locally within 12-18 months.

The third model will be determined at a later stage.

Kia is the second largest carmaker in South Korea, and together with parent Hyundai Motor Group, is the world's fifth largest automotive manufacturer.

On the potential investment into the CKD operation, Yeoh said it would take about US$20 million to set up the production line of a product.

He also said that Kia Malaysia would help address the after sales issues faced by Kia owners under the previous distributor.

Kia has appointed BAuto's subsidiary Dinamikjaya Motors Sdn Bhd as the new distributor of its vehicles in Malaysia.

As the new distributor, Dinamikjaya holds the right to distribute and sell Kia vehicles, CKD and completely built up (CBU), sale of genuine parts as well as in the provision of after-sales service and to build Kia's brand reputation and awareness in Malaysia.

Elaborating on the new partnership, Lee said Kia had chosen BAuto after months of searching for the right partner.

"With BAuto's proven capability in successfully building up automotive marques in Malaysia and the Philippines as well as their automotive manufacturing experience, we believe we have placed the Kia brand in good hands under the capable leadership of its."

Tae said BAuto was a renowned listed automotive company in Malaysia with a strong management team and good track record.

Yeoh said Kia vehicles were well-known for their stylish looks, packed with smart features, frequent facelifts and new launches that keep prospective buyers excited over its products.

"The partnership will complement our existing automotive businesses and we look forward to a successful collaboration with Kia," added Yeoh

Primacy 3ST..
