Customers who have made bookings for the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid and the Tucson (applicable only for the Turbo and Elegance variant) can be rest assured that as long as the booking is made by or on 31 August 2018, they need not worry about paying the sales and service tax (SST), even if their vehicle is delivered after 1st September 2018.
Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors (HSDM) said it would honour the selling price of these two vehicles with zero-rated GST while stocks last for a limited time only.
According to Dennis Ho, Managing Director of Sime Darby Motors (Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan), the sales of Hyundai vehicles have increased during the tax holiday period, especially for the Ioniq Hybrid and Tucson models as customers take the opportunity to enjoy greater savings.
“With our stock for the Ioniq Hybrid and Tucson fast depleting, we will need time to replenish the stock in order to fulfill customers’ demands. It is only fair that HSDM absorbs the SST for orders placed by 31 August 2018, even for vehicles delivered after the SST takes effect,” said Ho.
The current selling price for the Ioniq and Tucson models with zero-rated GST are as follows:
• Ioniq Hybrid HEV – RM94,788
• Ioniq Hybrid HEV Plus – RM109,988
• Tucson Elegance – RM119,188
• Tucson Turbo – RM137,488
HSDM offers a five-year or 300,000 km warranty on all its new passenger vehicles. In addition, the Ioniq is entitled to 60,000 km free service while the Tucson is entitled to 50,000 km free service, both with a three-year validity. A 24-hour road assist service is also available now for new and existing Hyundai vehicles.
