GURUN: Naza plans to introduce two new models by the third quarter of this year, said Naza Automotive Manufacturing Sdn Bhd (NAM) chief operating officer Roslan Abd Ghani.

“I can’t disclose under what brand these new models would be, but one will be a sedan while the other is probably a people mover,” he told Bernama after presenting NAM’s and Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin Foundation’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) contributions in Gurun on Thursday.

Roslan said Naza had introduced three new models so far this year with two models under the Kia brand (Sorento and Sportage) and other under Peugeot (Peugeot 408 e-THP).

“So far, we have produced 250 units of Kia Sorento, 50 units of Kia Sportage and 96 units of Peugeot 408 e-THP,” he said.

Roslan said despite the challenging eonomic climate, NAM would stick to its production target of 5,290 units of Kia, Citroen and Peugeot cars this year.

“Last year, we produced 4,500 units, while for this year until April, we have produced 1,394 units of various models,” he said.

Earlier, Roslan presented RM30,000 in donation to the Malaysian Islamic Welfare Organisation’s (Perkim) Kuala Muda branch and NAM’s adopted school -- Sekolah Kebangsaan Paya Mengkuang -- as well as to 30 underprivileged recipients who live near NAM’s premises.
