Say goodbye to 4AT! Updated Kia Rio with the more advanced transmission is coming! In July 2017, Kia Malaysia officially released a new generation of Kia Rio.

It is no surprise that I am a strong believer of Android Auto – it encompasses everything you could possibly ask for in an infotainment system, including voice command, navigation, and music streaming. There's no need to fawn over the Proton X70's voice command, which we have to add, doesn't come with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. With Android Auto, you use voice control to read/reply WhatsApp messages and enter a destination to Google Maps or Waze, as well as selecting your playlist on Spotify

The all-new 2020 Kia Cerato has been caught in Malaysia, possibly hinting that Naza Kia Malaysia will be introducing the model here soon. Originally previewed at the 2018 Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show, the Cerato was initially scheduled to go on sale in 2019, but that did not happen. That said, it appears that Naza Kia Malaysia could be introducing the new C-segment sedan later this year, as our friends over at Careta posted photos of the all-new model in Penang.

** This article is the personal experience of a 2019 Kia Stinger GT-Line 2.0L owner and does not necessarily reflect the views of WapCar. Facebook: Lutfi Othman When I first saw pictures of the Kia Stinger online after it was unveiled in 2017, I was very impressed with how Kia designs have evolved all these years. Unknowingly, I developed a liking of the car although I have doubts if it will ever reach our shores. I had a bad perception of Kia those days due to their bad reputation in design and

Dalam pasaran global, sedan Segmen A bukanlah kategori kereta yang popular. Memadatkan format rekaan tiga-kotak di dalam dimensi yang kecil pada sedan spesifikasi paling rendah menghasilkan kereta yang tampak kurang sempurna dan menarik. Pada saiz sebegini, ia menjadi tanda tanya jika sedan adalah lebih praktikal berbanding hatchback dengan tempat duduk belakang yang boleh dilipat. Tetapi, pengguna di pelbagai pasaran yang sedang membangun (termasuk Malaysia) lebih berminat dengan sedan bajet; o

Globally, the A-segment sedan is not a very popular category of cars. Squeezing a three-box format design into the tiny dimensions of an entry-level sedan don’t make for very visually appealing proportions. At such size, it’s debatable if a sedan is any more practical than a hatchback with folding rear seats, but still, consumers in many developing markets (Malaysia included) have a preference for budget sedans so manufacturers happy to comply. As such, it’s inevitable that all A-segment sedans

Let's face it. Unless your car is a rare piece of machinery, it will depreciate. This is why, for many people, resale value is as important for car buyers as the cost of maintenance. While there are some myths about resale value that are pretty much busted, there is still a prevailing perception that some buyers won’t choose certain brands because of how bad their resale value is.

Naza Kia introduced the Picanto in 2013, but it wasn’t until 2015 when Naza Kia Malaysia introduced a new generation before the car’s nimble drive and spunky 1.2-litre engine gained widespread attention. The Kia Picanto has always been a sleeper hit as, to many small car buyers, the Picanto was the only non-national option when shopping in
