New Kias on the block

Kia Motors' new Dunedin dealership in Kaikorai Valley Rd will be officially opened today. The development cost about $600,000, Dunedin Kia (also widely known as Carbase) dealer principal Neil Videler said.

The new dealership had to take into account the growth of the Kia brand in coming years so there was internal space for up to six new vehicles to be displayed, with more room for others outside, he said.

He described the vehicle market as very stable and steady. Television presenter and chef Peta Mathias will open the facility.
