Sports Series option for selected Hyundai models

Besides adding the new i30 to its range, Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors Sdn Bhd earlier this week had earlier previewed four new sporty enhanced editions of its existing models at the opening of a new 3S centre at Sungai Petani.

Open for booking at all Hyundai showrooms, the new Sports Series models of the Elantra 1.6 & 1.8, Tucson, i40, and Grand Starex feature new bodykits and enhancements such as new front grilles, sports rims, LED lights, roof racks for selected models, and other accessories. The new variants will officially launch in April; prices have yet to be announced.

“We hope to be able to cater to a wider market with this new offering. The Sports Series offers a refreshing sporty look which we hope will attract younger car buyers,” said Mr Lau Yit Mun, Managing Director of HSDM.

The four new variants were first showcased at Hyundai’s newly-opened 24th 3S centre in Malaysia, operated by AutoLim Brothers Sdn Bhd at Sungai Petani, Kedah. Built at a cost of RM5.54 million, the new 50,000 sq ft 3S centre houses a showroom, five service bays, a customer lounge and a spare parts centre. AutoLim Brothers have been dealing Hyundai vehicles for over 23 years. It previously functioned as a sales centre before expanding into the present 3S setup.

Elsewhere, Hyundai’s 25th 3S centre in the country opened at Cheras in conjunction with the all-new i30’s launch yesterday. Operated by Mawanis Sdn Bhd, the 65,337 sq ft dealership is Hyundai’s biggest 3S centre thus far, fully equipped with 7 service bays including two Quick Service bays, a showroom, and a spare parts centre. Its service area has a throughput capacity of 24 vehicles a day, thereby reducing customer waiting hours.

Mawanis invested a total of RM6 million to set up the 3S centre. The centre offers end-to-end automobile services as well as other value added innovative services including pick-up and delivery service, free labour service on Wednesdays, complimentary car wash upon service and a self-sufficient customer lounge. Mawanis has over 30 years of experience in the automobile business.
