New Car In Brunei - JEEP Renegade

Last Saturday was the launching of the new JEEP Renegade at GHK Motors.  After sending my kids to music school I quickly pop by the showroom with my wife.  Cool looking isn't it?  Small SUV has never looked so manly.  There is only one spec available and it will cost you BND$37K O.T.R.  This hasa the 1.4 MultiAir turbocharged engine with 6 speed twin clutch.  However it is 2WD instead of the 4WD.  You can choose from it's wide range of different colors.  This yellow unit will look good together with my Nissan and Porsche.  LOL.

Jeep Cherokee Has Landed In Brunei

Goooood evening readers!  Happy school holiday for those of you who are having a break from school and also for parents like me enjoying taking a break from sending and picking up our kids from the hectic traffic jam in school.

This is the latest model from Jeep, called the Cherokee that was released in the State mid last year.  These photos doesn't belong to me so I credit here in advance for whoever took these photos.  These were send to me via social media and I personally called the Jeep salesperson and asked about the price.  This ride cost BND$68,000++

The front facial is subject to personal taste.  As you know me I do like unique car so this one looks pretty look.  Just don't like the rear so much because it look so subtle.  I am not sure what engine this car is fitted so I would assume it might be the 2.4 Tigershark Multiair engine given the price set for this car.  

I will visit the showroom and take a close look when I have the time this coming week.  Hopefully GHK will bring in the Trailhawk version of Cherokee.

 

A Visit to Chrysler showroom...

Good morning Readers!  Today post will kick start with another visit to local showroom.  This is our local Chrysler Showroom in Subangseh, another subsidiary of GHK Groups. 

The car you looking at is Chrysler 300C, the latest sedan from Detriot.  This one here has a 3.6 Pentastar V6 engine.  I don't think they bring in the 5.7 V8 version but they do have the latest 2014 Chrsyler 300C SRT!

This version here cost around BND$80K whereas the SRT version cost a whooping BND$108K!  To be at BND$100K is actually consider affordable if you compare engine capacity.  The SRT is fitted with 6400cc V8 HEMI engine producing 475hp!  If you want this power from a BMW M5 or Mercedes Benz AMG E63, be prepare to pay BND$200K and above.

Anyway this 300C Luxury also comes with all bells and whistles.  It has luxury leather seat, a 8.4Uconnect touch screen infotainment, distant control cruise and a 8 speed automatic transmission.

Me likey!

Friday stroll to Car showroom.....

Yesterday was Friday which means from 12pm to 2pm all shops have to be closed for the Muslim prayers.  So for non-muslim like us who has nothing much to do during that 2 hours break, will ended up strolling around car showroom checking out new models arrival.

We drove pass Chevrolet showroom and this pearl white SUV caught our attention. It's the new CADILLAC ESCALADE! This Cadillac Escalade was never imported to Brunei because it was build for left-hand drive only.  So when we saw a right-hand drive version, it sure get our excitement pumping.

I was mentioning to my friends that this car should cost no more or less around BND180,000.  That would be the maximum price I would pay for that car.  Then we were told that it is selling for BND$250,000.  LOL.  That price stunt us a bit.  With that kind of price you can actually get a used Ferrari F430 for less then BND$215,000.  OR a brand new Range Rover Evoque BND$100K AND a brand new Range Rover sports for that same kind of money!

This Cadillac Escalade is the "FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY" as stated on the front windscreen.  I do not know what engine lies under the hood as the salesperson is not in anyway helping.  I do know that it is a 6 seaters car, wheels is riding on 22", it has full leather interior, a sunroof, 4 LCDs screen for back passenger, reverse camera, and lots and lots of LED for front headlamps and rear taillamps.

Next up we dropped by MINI Showroom(again!) because my friend need to settle his final deposit payment.  OMG, I actually been into this showroom for more then 30times this year alone. Hahah.  This particular MINI Countryman S caught my attention.  The color you looking at if I am not wrong is Chilli Red.  Awesome color!

MINI Brunei finally imported a Countryman S that is fitted with matt white wheels. 

Cheapest MINI in Brunei, the MINI One at brand new price $39,990!

The first MINI Roadster in Brunei!  Not sure about the exact price but is near the BND$70K zone.  This is different from the cabriolet MINI that my friend bought recently.  This is a strictly 2 seaters MINI and it's sold!
