Tuigamala Motors, the exclusive distributors of Nissan in Samoa, have embarked on a new partnership with Kontiki Finance, allowing customers to access finance for new vehicles. This was an option not available to their customers before. With the deal, Tuigamala Motors also announced the arrival of new Kia vehicles soon. Tuigamala Motors began as the official distributor for Nissan, guided by values of trust, integrity, and exceptional service. Our mission was clear: to bring quality vehicles to Samoa, empower local families and businesses, and keep the benefits of our work within our own shores. “In 2024, the Tuigamala team achieved another historic milestone, securing the official distributorship for Kia in Samoa. After visiting the Kia global headquarters and signing our agreement, we spent the next year preparing the infrastructure, training our staff, and building world-class service systems. Now, Kia is ready for Samoa.” Matamua Morry Sua, Managing Director at Nissan Samoa. “We are proud to introduce a full lineup of new Kia models, including Hybrid and Electric (EV) vehicles, opening the door to cleaner, smarter, and more efficient mobility options for our people.
“From sales to servicing, Tuigamala Motors offers full after-sales support for both Nissan and Kia. Genuine parts, professional servicing, and dedicated care throughout the lifetime of every vehicle. Because buying a vehicle is not the end of the journey, it’s the beginning. “Together, with Lemalu and her team from Kontiki Finance Samoa, we have been working to build a financing solution that truly supports our customers. And today, we are proud to announce that Kontiki Finance is now officially partnering with Tuigamala Motors Ltd to provide accessible and reliable financing options for both Nissan and Kia brand new vehicles.” The groundbreaking partnership with Kontiki Finance Samoa looks to reshape the future of vehicle ownership in Samoa. “O lenei faiga paaga matagofie o se māliega a le Kontiki Finance Samoa ma le Tuigamala Motors ua mafai ai ona ofoina se auaunaga e fa’afaigofie ai ona e ti’eti’e pe fa’afoeina sau ta’avale / sā ua e finagalo iai ae togitogi mo se taimi fa’atulagaina.
