GST zero-rated: Hyundai prices up to RM10,300 lower

Hyundai-Sime Darby Motor has released new prices of Hyundai models without the six-percent goods and services tax (GST). Set to come into effect on June 1, the figures are in line with the government’s move to set the tax to zero percent on that same date, ahead of the formal reintroduction of the sales and service tax (SST) sometime later this year.

That tax will be set at 10%, meaning that you only have two or three months to enjoy these savings before prices go up again – possibly higher than during the GST era.

Looking at the price list, the cheapest car on the list, the base Ioniq Hybrid, now ducks under the RM100,000 mark at RM94,788 – RM6,500 less expensive than before. Meanwhile, the most expensive model, the Starex 2.5 CRDi Deluxe, receives a RM10,300 lower price and retails at RM173,288.

As we reported last year, the Sonata and Santa Fe are nowhere to be found, having been discontinued in anticipation of new models. The Veloster has also been phased out, but that one won’t see a replacement that has already been revealed for other markets.

    Many Malaysian know when SST comes into play, car prices will go up slightly. But we are happy to pay that slight increase because we know that money goes to pay the 1 trillion dollar debt left by the highly corrupted previous government

  • Is Hyundai still selling the i10 and Sonata in Malaysia? How come both those models are still featured on the Hyundai Malaysia website?

      maybe people scared the dual-clutch gearbox reliability, and the resale price.

      Elantra vs Civic
      204ps/265nm vs 175ps/225nm
      7.4s vs 8s
      dual cluth vs cvt
      suspension vs boat feel tuned suspension
      tuned by
      ex BMW M division
      good NVH vs Harch NVH, feel cheap
      give comfortable
      conti feel
      Yet msian will still buy a honda. That elantra has a power equivalent to a 325i bmw, with a price a lot less than a 116i.

    Show room and customer service also very poor. NO car to test drive. Wasted time visiting sales gallery and so hard to find parking at Johor branch.
