It's possible the car to price from RM$65k as base model...but this is going to be of a manual transmission, while the auto would go 5-8k more range.

so likely, the car would be an alternative to local and japanese cars.

Singapore has 3 variant: EX, SX and Premium.

Likely, only 2 variant might come in...and if Kia was smart...a manual transmission would be good.

I read this is a DOHC Gamma engine...so at 122hp @6300rpm, the FC test would be challenged. However, on spirited driving, with proper suspension+reinforced bars...it's gonna be a nice car to drive on open roads.

Just gotta see if the noise insulation is good.

Best of luck Kia.
