Two new Kia models to boost sales
KUALA LUMPUR: Naza Kia Sdn Bhd expects a 10% growth in its car sales with the launch of two new models, Kia Optima and Kia Spectra5, yesterday.
Naza Group of Companies chairman and chief executive officer Tan Sri S.M. Nasimuddin S.M. Amin said the target was achievable as the automotive market had been showing an upward trend and the new products were a good fit to the Malaysian market.
“We expect sales to be encouraging with 750 units of Kia Optima and 1,500 units of Kia Spectra5 anticipated to be sold by year-end,” he told reporters after unveiling the vehicles.
Nasimuddin said the 1.6-litre Kia Spectra5 was aimed at the value-conscious Malaysian buyer, with 400 units expected to be sold a month.
“Meanwhile, the two-litre Kia Optima, which earned the highest possible safety rating for crash impact by the US Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is targeted at business professionals. About 200 units are expected to be sold monthly,” he added.
Both models have a warranty of five years or 125,000km, whichever comes first.
International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz, who officiated at the event, said the launch was timely as it was before the festival season, during which there was a tendency for customers to change vehicles or buy new ones.
“The automotive industry is important in the development of the manufacturing sector in Malaysia as well as establishing a presence in emerging markets,” she said. She added that the industry had evolved from assembling operations to manufacturing motor vehicles and components and was now into the realm of research, product design and engineering.
