In line with the Malaysian government’s PENJANA plan, Naza Kia has announced sweeping price reductions to account for sales tax exemptions. The government has waived sales tax by 100% on CKD cars and by 50% on CBU vehicles.
For Kia, locally-assembled vehicles include four variants of the Picanto, their A-segment 5-door hatchback, the Rio, a B-segment 5-door hatchback, the Cerato, a C-segment sedan, the Optima, a D-segment sedan, the Sportage, a mid-sized SUV, the Sorento, a full-sized SUV, and the Grand Carnival, a full-sized MPV. The only fully imported vehicle offered by Naza Kia is the Kia Stinger. Ironically, because it’s the most expensive vehicle here, its 50% sales tax exemption results in the largest price discount of all their vehicles, that is RM14,767.30 or 3.85% of its price.
Here’s what the price list looks like for Peninsular Malaysia.
