Naza Kia, the official distributor for Kia in Malaysia, is offering attractive discounts on selected models in June in the run-up to the Hari Raya festivities – the promotion runs from now until June 30, 2015.
The biggest discount goes to the cheapest car in Kia’s range, the Picanto 1.2 M/T – it gets a whopping RM15,888 discount over the RM54,888 sticker price (on-the-road inclusive of GST and insurance), which means that it’s yours for just RM39,000 (a 2013 model, according to a dealer we enquired). In comparison, the automatic variant has its price cut by just RM6,000, sitting at RM53,888.
Yes, we know, it’s a manual, but if you don’t mind rowing through your own gears – which isn’t exactly a hardship with such a light clutch – that’s a downright steal. Let’s not forget, this highly-specced car has six airbags and stability control, and it now costs less than a two-airbag, no-ESP Perodua Axia!
Other deals include those for the Cerato range – the base 1.6 KX now has a RM5,680 saving over list price (down to RM83,999), while the top-spec 2.0 sees a RM7,680 discount that puts the price down to RM110,000. The mid-range 1.6 SX gets the biggest discount among the trio – RM8,480 off its RM99,480 retail makes it RM91,000.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments largely express excitement and surprise over the Kia Picanto's RM15,888 discount, highlighting its strong safety features, solid build quality, and good value for money, especially given its 6 airbags, VSC, and 5-year warranty at a low price. Many compare it favorably against competitors like Perodua Axia and Proton Iriz, criticizing higher-priced domestic models for lacking safety features or being overpriced. There's skepticism about the stock’s age, as some confirm it's from 2014, indicating depreciation rather than genuine discounts. Several comments lament the impact on used car values and Toyota's declining popularity, emphasizing that the deal could threaten Toyota’s market share. Overall, the sentiment is predominantly positive about the deal, viewing it as a significant bargain that challenges local brand perceptions, but some express concern about the manual transmission's market appeal.
