Kia’s distributor in Malaysia, Dinamikjaya Motors Sdn Bhd, has announced that the locally assembled (CKD) 2024 Kia Carnival is now available for booking at all authorised Kia dealers nationwide.

Hyundai relocates Asia Pacific headquarters to Jakarta While Kia Motor Asia Pacific reaffirms commitment to Malaysia For Kia, Malaysia is more attractive than Thailand One of the benefits of having multiple brands is that you can hedge your bets, which is exactly what the Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) is doing with the Kia brand in Malaysia and Hyundai in Indonesia.

Fans of Kia can expect a new compact 7-seater MPV from the Korean carmaker this year - the Kia KY - according to a leaked document.

The price of the 2020 Kia Grand Carnival with 11 seats has been revealed to be RM 175,088 on the road without insurance. But what’s more surprising is that the 11-seater will replace the Grand Carnival with 8-seats entirely so there is only 1 variant.
