The group was founded and led by Malaysian business tycoon Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin SM Amin until his death on May 1, 2008.[2]
Naza Group is the franchise holder for Ferrari, Maserati, Koenigsegg, Kia Motors, Peugeot, Chevrolet, Citroën, Brabus, Ducati, Harley-Davidson, Piaggio, Vespa, Aprilia, Gilera and Indian Motorcycle brands in Malaysia.[3]
Naza has marketed rebadged versions of Kia's Carnival, Carens, and Picanto vehicles as Naza Ria, Naza Citra,[4] and Naza Suria[5] respectively, for the Malaysian market. In April 2006, Naza developed the Naza Sutera based on Hafei Lobo.
