According to MIDF Research (as reported by The Edge), Bermaz Auto will introduce the facelifted Mazda CX-5 in January 2024 at a higher price. The updated SUV has already been sighted in Malaysia in November this year, and earlier this month, we received leaked details that seemingly confirms a five-variant line-up and some of the changes made to the model.
The research house also said another model in the pipeline is the CX-60, which made its global debut in March last year and has since gone on sale in several ASEAN markets such as Singapore, Indonesia as well as the Philippines.
The CX-3 facelift was also mentioned, which could be referencing the minor styling updates made to the compact SUV that was announced in Japan in September – take this with a pinch of salt. The imported-from-Thailand CX-3 has already been updated earlier this month, with revisions to the kit list of the three available variants.
On the Kia side of things (handled by Dinamikjaya Motors), the report indicates that the all-new, fifth-generation Sportage will finally make its Malaysian launch debut in 2024. The SUV will be introduced as a locally-assembled (CKD) model alongside the Carens, the latter being a three-row SUV that first debuted in India and is now available in Indonesia.
No word on Peugeot models in the report, which is rightly so since Stellantis has taken over distributorship (this was previously handled by Bermaz Auto Alliance). Bermaz “will in the meantime continue to work with Stellantis for vehicle sales through its own network,” Stellantis said in a statement in November.
In an earlier report, it was stated that the 408 and e-2008 will be launched here in 2024. This is according to Daniel Gonzalez, chief operating officer (ASEAN and general distributors) at Stellantis, who also said that both will be CKD models, joined by the Landtrek (the pick-up truck is currently sold as a CBU).
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Kia, Mazda and Peugeot all benefitted from Naza marketing prowess for their today sukses.
Stellantis have managed to get away from this scummy company. Mazda and Kia should do the same.
Selling old car over and over again..close shop je lah
Honda already selling their new gen CRV, replacing 2017 version and mazda do a facelift in 2024 for their 2017 CX5 Model.
Honda consistently 2-3yrs facelift and ~5yrs change next gen. Mazda should learn from it.
many facelifts many new models but still using the same old problematic steering rack.
Then what about Kia Seltos that has been sold just few months before Kia brand sold to Bermaz Auto by Naza Auto back in 2021? Are they going to bring it back too? Hopefully they are, and I would like to see more Kia models bring into Malaysian market since car scenes here are damn too boring by seeing P1, P2, H Tegak and Toyota on the roads only… Nothing special tho, meanwhile in other countries having different car scenes like having more Korean cars, European cars and American cars over than Japanese cars.
Are they finally bringing in ACC for the cx5
Kia Malaysia can do better, please! Should bring back the popular Kia model like Kia Picanto/Morning; Kia K3, and Kia K5.
Yawn….. facelifted CX5 is total redundancy….just maintain it while CX60 should roll out in Malaysia IMMEDIATELY for Mazda to fight this car out against e.g. Lexus NX
