VictorAB: seriously? tell that to your american sister company that lists it as that hmmmmm at a premium so basically what you are saying is that we pay extra for standard features? |
Re: All You Need To Know About KIA by samir101ng(m): 7:14am On Jul 12, 2015 |
@aaidel, I don't think your being reasonable in your arguments. Safety features like airbags, ABS, traction control, VAS, are things that you should be mentioning. And even these things don't come standard on every vehicle. Most modern cars have different trims or packages of the same model e.g LX, EX, EX-L for Honda's, L, LE, XLE, SE for Toyota's. Each trim or package of the same model year of the vehicle comes with different enhancements or comfort levels as standards. E.g All XLE & EX-L models come with Leather Seats and Sun Roofs as standard. This is not found on LX & L models. The same applies to those safety features you mentioned. Not all safety features come as standard on some models though there are some that are universally adopted like Seat belts, airbags, etc. The more expensive or higher the trim level of course the more features including safety ones it will have. 5 Likes |

samir101ng: am i being unreasonable to question why we get lower trims at higher prices this is the exact mentality that allows these companies to come in and fleece us go to the american, canadian and european website of the same kia and see what they have to offer in base trims and compare to the nigerian version then come back and we will talk 2 Likes |

@aaidel, Dude, calm down ![]() ![]() ![]() Having said that, you are now shifting the goal post on your initial posts. You started off by complaining about limited safety features first on KIA cars and NOT about the prices of their trim/models. These are two different arguments. As always, we are all quick to make judgments. Price is subjective on so many factors. That is why before this recent foreign exchange issue, it was cheaper to import some cars into the country than buying locally here. The US and other advanced markets have greater economies of scale and incentives to operate a business than Nigeria. Am sure, VictorAB has posted here that they assemble their vehicles here in Nigeria. You will be shocked at the overheads incurred in running the factory that assembles these cars. That & other expenses of course will be transmitted down to the customer in the unit price of the vehicles. Yes, we can advocate for lower prices on these vehicles but we should also be realistic on the issues on ground facing these companies. Imagine the cost implication and the resultant crash in prices if all the GSM companies where to run off PHCN and not use their generators. These and other issues are the challenges that affect pricing here. 5 Likes |

samir101ng: dude you really are missing my point i for one am not advocating a reduction in prices i would rather buy a world class vehicle at a high price than a deathtrap at reduced prices what i take offense to is assembling inferior products for the nigerian market just because. so once more like i said its not hard to open four tabs and see whats on offer elsewhere and then ask the necessary question this is not about witch hunting anyone but rather letting these people know they can't keep selling us substandard products |

@aaidel, ![]() ![]() Okay here we go now: 1. Kia Motors USA LX Starting MSRP: $13,990 http://www.kia.com/us/en/vehicle/rio-5-door/2015/features 2. Kia Motors UK Rio '1' £10,145 http://www.kia.co.uk/new-cars/range/compact-cars/new-rio/specification/safety-and-security.aspx 3. Kia Motors Nigeria ₦1,980,000 http:///kia-rio-the-peoples-car-1646630 I decided to use the 2015 Kia Rio 5 Door as a baseline model to make your comparisons. I chose the LX trim which is the base model and looked through their features to see if there was any difference amongst the ones listed in the USA, UK and Nigeria. Sadly, I am unable to see any features listed in all the other LX's that are not included in the Nigerian version. Kindly buttress your points further. 1 Like |

How much does the Kia Rio automatic cost and what are the available options? |
Re: All You Need To Know About KIA by jakigaga(m): 10:15am On Jul 21, 2015 |
Dear Victor Kindly list all kia models and trims and associated prices because it is not available on the website. It will be nice if you could list the trims for each model and engine size, auto or manual then the price. Better yet you could add that feature to your website. It's funny how na only for naija one cannot see the price of the car even if it's the starting price. 1 Like |

Kai...Kia dey try oh! Lols ![]() ![]() ![]() http://www.kiamotorsnigeria.com/model/cerato/ These made (assembled) in Nigeria cars are now very common on the road. All my company's official cars are now Kia. And i heard they go at only N1.9mil. Quite a good amount for a brand new ride. Very much worth the money i think then a Tokunbo at N1.2mil
