If come with 10 yrs free serving, free battery and all parts free replacements maybe can attract some buyers

Assembled and made are two different meaning right?

Made in SG still so ex...and looks Ugly too...and the brand itself is low end car...

It is quite popular here. Saw a lot of them. The logo looks like KNN, which makes me wonder what brand it is, and I have always seen them on the road.

They should make it even better, a 20-year warranty, all servicing covered. The battery can be big and can drive to KL, Malaysia and come back without recharge. For Tesla cars, you will likely have to recharge before you reach KL. KIA should make an effort so that the car can reach KL without the need to recharge even with traffic jams. At the end of the day, it is practicality. 

Most of the charging points in Malaysia are very low in KW. It takes hours.

Never thought in my life cars can be assembled competitively in SG......very good for SG.

Assembled in Singapore should not have those taxes like imported cars mah. So by right should be cheaper.

[A2Z]

The whole idea of a locally assembled cars is to minimize costs with govt tax incentives. From 194k is saying bigger profits. Should be below 100k even half of it.

Price should be low but not lower than COE.

Most importantly it doesn't look nice. Has the kkb look

[FangFang]

So expensive,,,

[watchfirst9]

Price is high, Not sure how many Sporeans employed.

Nothing beats cars built and engineered or over engineered to last in the 80s to 90s.

Good job to Kia Spore, assemble producing  good quality cars for small  local market.
