Kuchingites, if you’ve been driving along Jalan Abell lately, you might have noticed a slick new addition to the neighborhood!
Kia Sales Malaysia (KSM) has officially launched its brand-new 3S Dealership right in the heart of Kuching’s business district. Partnering with local automotive veteran Heng Lian Enterprise Berhad, this RM1.5 million facility is built to give Sarawakians easier access to sales, after-sales service, and future-proof automotive tech.
Whether you’re looking to upgrade your ride, get your current Kia serviced, or just drop by to spy on the latest models, here are 5 quick things you need to know about this new hub!
1. It’s Located Right In The Heart Of Kuching’s Business District
No need to travel all the way to the outskirts of town just to visit a showroom or get your car checked. The new Kia Kuching Heng Lian 3S Centre is strategically located at Jalan Abell. Being right in the city's commercial and financial hub, you can easily drop your car off for servicing before grabbing lunch or running daily errands nearby.
2. Yes, There’s A Cozy Lounge With Free Snacks & Wi-Fi
Nobody likes waiting around in a boring, stuffy waiting room while their car gets serviced. Kia got the memo! The 4,796 sq. ft. facility features a dedicated customer lounge fitted with complimentary Wi-Fi and a pantry stocked with beverages and light snacks. You can comfortably work on your laptop or unwind while the technicians do their magic.
3. It’s Ready For Both Petrol Cars & Electric Vehicles (EVs)
Kia isn't just focusing on the cars of today, they are prepping for the future. Beyond being equipped with the latest diagnostic tools and 2 service bays capable of handling up to 260 vehicles a month, the dealership is designed as a future-ready facility. This means whether you drive a traditional engine model or plan to jump onto the electric vehicle (EV) trend, their certified technicians are ready.
4. Kia Is On A Record-Breaking Roll Worldwide
If you were wondering if Kia is a safe bet right now, the numbers speak for themselves. Kia kicked off 2026 by posting its highest-ever first-half global sales performance in company history (selling over 1.63 million units!). Plus, with Kia now operating 26 dealerships nationwide under its direct subsidiary Kia Sales Malaysia, local after-sales support is stronger than ever.
