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

Any news when the new carnival will be launch?

New KA4 model won't come in so soon. Going to be 4th quarter next year only, at the earliest. Lots of delay caused by MCO.

Hi, any carnival user experienced sour smell from AC vent during cold start in the morning? similar to strong vinegar smell. It happens occasionally.
Kindly share your thoughts.
Thanks

When car is at stationary with engine and aircon running, check for good flow of (aircond) water being drained out from (passenger side) evaporator down onto road/cement surface.
You might want to poke and clear up the blockage inside the drain tube?
