KIA Myanmar Company started to receive pre-order for seven models of car which was previously sold, a sale in-charge of the company told the MT news agency.
The seven car models are SORENTO, SPORTEGE, CARENS, K5, SOLUTO and CETATO; and PICANTO is not included in the pre-order car models.
“We received information that the pre-order cars will be able to arrive in February 2023. Currently, we are selling the cars with private number plate,” he said.
The KIA Myanmar stopped the sale of brand-new cars last week. Now, it has collected pre-order for brand new cars which will be imported from oversea.
The suspension of the import permit of brand-new cars from overseas in the domestic car market leads to dull market, some car businesspeople said.
To alleviate the need of US dollar in Myanmar, the import permit of brand-new cars and spare parts was banned. In so doing, the car prices are high, according to the car market.
KIA Myanmar Company is importing and distributing the Korea made KIA brand new models.
