They still have 2023 units atto3 with the build your dreams badge at the rear (rather than BYD) going for less than 130k

I see, then it is a good deal for those who want it cheaper a bit.

To Thread starter:

Advice is to look for a 1 year old lightly used car so that the heaviest depreciation is taken out of the equation.

Why woukd anyone sell a 1 year old car 🤔, let alone lightly used? Major issues??

Could be need fast cash for emergency or something. The world is huge.

I am looking for the range of suv also.

Your budget also 130-140K and you are looking for 2nd hand SUV? Any models you have in mind..

last time when baoteng x70 standard was selling @ rm89,900.
Now maybe chery patah axle @ 96-97k.
But buy at your own risk.

I've had wira to crv to hrv to x1 and finally nissan serena.
As you can see, I have quite some experience with suv and I can say, for family use, you can't beat the convenience of a family van. Lotsa lotsa space for growing kids where inmy case, my boys got tall and huge like me. Bang for buck van although I would prefer a bigger van for the boot space like a vellfire.
Just go take a test drive. Your kids will like it.

What about 7-seater SUV X90 RM124K?

I am also thinking to trade in a sedan for MPV.. Serena/Voxy/Stepwagon or Alphard.. 2 kids now. Do you think serena/voxy/stepwagon practical or just direct go for Alphard/Vellfire?

serena does the job same like hellfire and all fat

unless u do business n u need the car to match ur status

The concern is current model C27, too much issue with ABS, compressor etc issues. Was thinking for the C28 but no news. Recond car, too risky for me. Same goes to the Allfat and hellfire...

kia carnival?

u can plan for another 2 more kids

Kia carnival diesel right?

Yes diesel. See they give promo via diesel subsidy. Not sure worth it.

This model AC compressor cost almost similar to Continental car compressor. Weird TCM practice. Many letgo after repair it

I've seen it on the road each time on the way to work, i love to see it due to wide body.. Love the current model and the previous one

Dunno. Never sat in one b4. If the rear seats and boot space WITH rear seats up can match the serena, yeah maybe why not.
I really suggest you bring your whole family for test drive.

Voxy stepwagon also looks good. I think i skipped those cause of the 1.5l engine. Not that the serena has much power. Have to learn to drive slow.
Alphard vellfire is a yes especially if the boot space is bigger.

X90 if it is hybrid good luck with the parts repair after warranty.
The only 1 which i knew realiable it is the D5 diesel engine variant, but really rare in used market as it is too realiable and very less owner want to sell & buy.

If travel a lot & long distance it is worth, my father still driving his BMW 320d even with Euro5 B7 average still around RM0.2/km.
You still enjoy the high torque feel from the turbo diesel engine and less mechanical problem compare to petrol couterpart.
The 2.2D engine use by Carnival already few generation used by Hyundai and Kia and it is also a proven diesel engine with very less issues.
