Eight times the prosperity
MISCONCEPTIONS regarding dieselengine cars are aplenty, from being loud, dirty and sluggish to having high maintenance costs and leading to poor fuel economy. On the contrary, diesel vehicles today are highly capable machines that can perform just as well as their petrol counterparts thanks to continuous advancements in technology.
It is for this reason that car companies have introduced diesel variants into their vehicle line-ups. Kia is no different.
The global rise in popularity for personal diesel vehicles encouraged Naza Kia Malaysia (official distributor of Kia vehicles in the country) to offer three diesel vehicles to the Malaysian public in form of the Kia Grand Carnival (2.2D KX and 2.2D SX), Sorento (2.2D SX) and Sportage (2.0D GT-Line).
With Chinese New Year just around the corner, here are eight reasons you should treat your family to one of these incredible machines and head home to your reunion dinner in style and comfort.
Kia’s diesel models have eightspeed automatic transmission, letting you be in the right gear in any driving situation.
A trademark of any diesel engine, you can expect the Grand Carnival, Sorento and Sportage to have high torque performance, ideal when carrying more passengers and luggage for a weekend getaway.
The high number of gears also translates to greater fuel efficiency and a smoother drive all round, whether through stop-go city traffic or cruising down winding trunk roads.
Kia is fully committed to the pursuit of zero emission. Its Eco Dynamics brand is testament to the company’s effort in making a sizeable contribution to improving mankind and the environment.
These three Kia vehicles are packed with safety features to ensure you always have peace of mind on the road. Six airbags, vehicle stability management, hillstart assist control, ISOFIX anchor points and rear-view cameras are just some the fancy features in each Kia vehicle. The Grand Carnival and Sportage also come with a blind-spot collision warning with rear cross-traffic collision warning feature. Diesel is a more stable fuel and presents a lower risk of causing fire in the event of a collision.
These vehicles are a bargain when you consider the high trim levels that come standard, including wireless smartphone chargers, luxurious leather finishes, large touchscreen displays and other cool gadgetry.
Lastly, diesel engines are known to be workhorses and reliable, so you can be sure that you are making the right choice when you get one or more of these cars.
If these attributes are not enough to convince you to head into a Kia showroom, perhaps the company’s current Chinese New Year sales campaign will.
Exclusively for the lunar new year, Kia customers are in for a great treat in form of exceptional bargains. Kia will also be rewarding its customers with gold valued at up to RM21,000.
Moreover, all Kia vehicles come with up to five years of free maintenance service and a fiveyear warranty with unlimited mileage. Special rebates are up for grabs when you visit a Kia dealership this festive season. Terms and conditions apply. For more information, visit www.kia.com
