When looking for a vehicle that will be used to serve a business, people look for a car that can reliably deliver goods from point to point and can also keep its pace when road conditions go bad. The Kia K2500 is a light-duty truck that Kia says is a suitable partner for your business.
Featuring a flexible range of body configuration options, the Kia can be made to suit your business needs. In addition, buyers can also have the K2500 with a 4x4 drivetrain, allowing the truck to maintain traction despite severe changes in road or weather conditions. Having a 4x4 drivetrain in a light commercial truck gives business owners the confidence to push forward even after the paved roads end. Adding to its go-anywhere specifications a ground clearance of 200 mm, one of the highest in its class.
Under the cab is a 2.5-liter CRDi turbodiesel four-cylinder engine that puts out 128 hp at 3800 rpm and 255 Nm of torque from 1500 rpm to 3500 rpm. Paired with this engine is a 6-speed manual gearbox which allows for better fuel efficiency and flexibility on open roads like expressways or while in bumper-to-bumper traffic in the metro.
For added safety and peace of mind, the K2500 is equipped with a Load-Sensing Proportioning Valve (LSPV) which regulates hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes depending on the payload. This feature ensures that the K2500 can come to a stop safely whether laden or unladen.
The K2500 variants available in all Kia dealerships are the 4x2 and 4x4 Single Cab and Chassis and the 4x4 Single and Double Cab Dropside. Single-cab variants can seat three adults, while the larger, double-cab versions, can seat six.
Kia’s workhorse is available in the following configurations as dealer options. The first of which is the K2500 4x4 which has a 1,353kg payload capacity for the single-cab variant and a 1,204kg payload capacity for the double-cab variant. Next is the K2500 4x4 single-cab closed-van ‘Kargo’ configuration with a maximum payload capacity of 953kg.The double-cab dropside configuration, on the other hand, has a maximum payload capacity of 1204 kg. There is also a refrigerated van option for businesses that transport perishable goods like meat, seafood, and poultry.
The Kia K2500 comes with a 3-Year/110,000kms warranty and 3-year free 24/7 Roadside Assistance. Kia says that the K2500 has a low cost of maintenance to help businesses in mitigating spending and maximize profits. In addition, Kia also says that they have a large stock of readily available parts and a nationwide network of service centers to aid customers in keeping their K2500 truck functioning and on the road.
