The Naza Group has been pretty synonymous with Kia and Peugeot cars in Malaysia for years but it seems that partnership might be ending. According to a report from New Straits Times (NST), Naza Group is planning to give up its Kia and Peugeot distributorships amid the soft automotive market which is made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic. Sources told the publication that Bermaz Auto Bhd (BAuto) had emerged as the frontrunner to take over the South Korean and French marques with a larger interest i

A few weeks ago, we published reports that Bermaz is in the lead in purchasing the Malaysian distribution rights to the Kia and Peugeot franchise from Naza.

The heydays of Naza is over but is anyone surprised with outcome? Within just one generation since the passing of its founder the late Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin, Naza has lost all the crowning jewels of their once fledging automotive empire – Kia, Peugeot, Citroen, Harley Davidson, and Aprillia. At its peak in 2006, Naza was selling more cars than Honda Malaysia – 35,998 units of Kia (including licensed Naza-badged Kia models) versus 26,527 units of Honda.

By now you would’ve read that Naza Eastern Motors, the new distributor for Suzuki cars in Malaysia, has launched the fourth generation Suzuki Swift Sport. Priced at RM 139,900, imported (CBU) from Japan, thus explains its higher price. Enthusiasts who prefer to row their own gears will be disappointed to know that only one powertrain is offered for the Malaysian market Suzuki Swift Sport – a 140 PS / 230 Nm 1.4-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder paired exclusively to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Prior to the return of Suzuki in Malaysia, those who wanted to buy the fourth-generation (ZC33S) Suzuki Swift Sport had to resort to reconditioned units, as recond dealers have been selling that model since 2019.

在Suzuki回归马来西亚之前，想要入手第四代（ZC33S）Suzuki Swift Sport的朋友只能选择复新车，因为复新车经销商从2019年开始贩售该款车型了。 不过这种情况已经出现了改变，因为Suzuki已经在Naza的带领下重返大马。目前，该公司已经在马来西亚推出了第四代（ZC33S）Swift Sport。 那么，问题是：现在是选复新车好呢，还是买全新车好呢？ 如果你是喜欢6速手排的车迷，那就买复新车 与上两代在我国市售的Swift Sport车型不同，官方进口的ZC33S代车型只配备六速自排变速箱。官方不提供手排车型，这对于手排车迷们来说，是一个很大的遗憾。 复新车经销商通常会提供很多选择，但和往常一样，我们一般都建议你谨慎对待这些选择，因为没有两台复新车是一样的。 自己从独立的服务商那里获取一份真实的汽车检测单是至关重要的（千万不要相信经销商的复印件）。 在几个汽车贩售网站上查询后，我们发现只有一家复新车经销商提供Swift Sport的手排版本。 提供手排版本的Suzuki Swift Sport的经销商是Yap Brothers Group —— 也就是在2019年
