Kia K2500

The Kia K2500 light truck is the best option for company owners who need a vehicle they can rely on to get them where they need to go, because here in the Philippines, unpredictable weather and road conditions are common.

Because it is the only light truck in the Philippine market with a 4x4 drivetrain, the K2500 is distinctive. This translates to optimal traction despite abrupt changes in the weather and the state of the roads. Even after the paved path runs out, business owners can be confident in their capacity to handle any unexpected obstacles. With a 200mm ground clearance, the K2500 has one of the highest go-anywhere specifications.

The K2500 holds the distinction of being among the most potent automobiles in its class. A 2.5-liter CRDi turbo diesel engine located under the cab produces 255Nm of torque between 1,500 and 3,500 rpm and 130 ps at 3,800 rpm. A 6-speed transmission is mated to this strong and effective motor, allowing for superior fuel efficiency and versatility whether on the open road or while maneuvering traffic in densely populated places.

The Load-Sensing Proportioning Valve (LSPV) on the K2500 controls the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes based on the payload for additional security and peace of mind. As a result, the K2500 can stop without incident, loaded or unloaded.

Variations of the Kia K2500 include the 4x2 and 4x4 Single Cab and Chassis, as well as the 4x4 Single and Double Cab Dropside. Three adults can sit in the single-cab models, while six people can sit in the double-cab versions.

The following body variations, which can be chosen as dealer options, are built on a strong foundation provided by the K2500. The K2500 4x4 is the ultimate workhorse, with a payload capacity of 1,353kg for the single-cab type and 1,204kg for the double-cab variant. Large volumes can be transported using the K2500 4x4 single-cab closed-van "Kargo'' configuration, which has a 953kg maximum payload capacity.

For example, its 5.52ft height by 5.71ft width by 10ft length can easily accommodate 64 45-liter cool boxes. The K2500 double-cab ‘Drop Side’ configuration with a 1,204kg maximum payload capacity can carry 20 crates. There is also an option for a refrigerated van that can handle 92 crates. Each of these configurations can be adapted to suit even the most demanding transport and logistics requirements.

A 3-Year/110,000km warranty and 3-Year Free 24/7 Roadside Assistance are included with the K2500. Also, it is inexpensive to maintain, which enables firms to further cut costs and raise profits. Also, Kia has a sizable supply of easily available components and a network of service centers spread around the country that are always prepared to help in the event of unfortunate accidents. Any potential downtime will be considerably reduced by this kind of dealership help.
