A Naza is a Kia in disguise. I believe this is the Kia Carens or some Kia MPV. The guy that runs Naza is a Mahatir crony.

cheap and nice

[Genie47]

At the same time make Mahatir keep some money when the FTA removes the tarriffs on imported cars in Malaysia.

It looks like a Kia in so many ways!

 

Esp the tailight.. looks like the Carens!

 

Then the front, looks like some Kia SUV!

[Mach]

It IS the Carens lah. I understand the older model Carens was CBU (ie, imported fully assembled). The NAZA is assembled in Malaysia from kits thus perhaps they want to give it a different name to differentiate it... like the Carnival is the Naza Ria....

[Linus]

u are right. Naza used to be trading in used cars only but in the last few years, they are really doing it big time in cars. Its a joint-collabration with KIA motors. tts why cars like carens and carnival are marketed under NAZA motors name. CBUs in malaysia has been a long time thingy. Complete imported cars are really expensive in MY. CBUs are the way to do it. Look forward to VW building some cars with proton like the NAZAs in the near future too.

[Linus]

yup, CBU is the short for complete build-up units. in MY, in order to save some $$$ on taxes, the cars are imported into the country as parts and then assembled in MY.

[Fitvip]

It is Carens by another name, of course with slight facelift. Just like its big brother Naza

Rio, which is so much a Carnival! And Naza Rio is so famous for its fc

[Linus]

well.. i would say in MY, cheap car owning is the main selling point. FC, hmm... comes 2nd.
