It was confirmed yesterday that Kia Motors has entered into a strategic partnership with Bermaz Auto (BAuto), with the latter’s Dinamikjaya Motors subsidiary being appointed the new distributor of Kia vehicles in Malaysia.
Following this announcement, Dinamikjaya Motors has requested existing Kia owners to take part in its customer information update exercise. According to the company, the initiative is to allow its system to check your vehicle’s warranty, recall notification and improve the ownership experience. If you own a Kia, you can submit your information here.
This is similar to what was done previously by Berjaya Auto Alliance (BAASB), which handles distributorship of Peugeot models here. As a brief recap, BAASB is a joint venture between Berjaya Corporation and BAuto, which hold a 51% and 20% stake respectively.
Besides the customer information update exercise, Dinamikjaya Motors is currently revamping the Kia Malaysia website and has adopted the latest brand logo and motto, both of which were revealed back in January this year.
The deal between Kia Motors and BAuto will also see the formation of a newly incorporated company – Kia Malaysia Sdn Bhd (KMSB) – to undertake CKD local assembly of Kia vehicles in the country.

is more logical for Bermaz Auto to get KIA and Pijot customer information update from previous Master distributor NAZA … instead of pegi kacau the customer. wrong step Bermaz
Obviously any old distributor/dealer ain’t gona cooperate and hence Bermaz Auto have to resort to this option. To me if I’m a Kia owner, no issues lah, just provide whatever relevant information/details that Bermaz wants…
Maybe naza dun want to share or cakap suda delete database
naza sofa merah – LoL!!!!!
Nice
B4 they can service you they want to sell your info first. Well done Bermaz!
Thank you paultan for this information. Thank you. I m updating my inforr kia into the website. I have many kia and plan buy more kia
Will they honor the 5 year free service offered by NAZA previously? I called KIA service center in Kota Damansara last month to book a service appointment and was informed that I needed to pay as NAZA is not reimbursing them anymore
Interested in buying the Kia Seltos for export

Now Dinanikjaya got four months before they could sell their CKD Kia’s at the more challenging price point than CBU RM196k’s price level. If they got the pricing correct say circa RM180K they’re maybe heading towards right direction for the Carnival. Failed to to that potential buyers maybe stick to reconditioned sans after-sales service unit of Alphard or Vellfire. The reconditioned units got rather promising value from their buyers
