Enjoy Your Work

Low deck, Standard cabin

You spend a lot of your time at work. Why not make it more enjoyable? “Enjoy
your work”, the KIA K-series truck development concept, means ease of
operation directly relates to how well the vehicle performs, which in turn
relates to how well you're able to get your work done. Whether driving or
taking a rest, the K-series truck provides a pleasant atmosphere of quiet,
ease and ergonomics. Discover the experience of driving the K-series truck.

Performance made simple

a. Long goods beyond the deck can be propped safely by folding stopper. b. Protecting the

chain from corrosion, thus maintaining lifelong wear. c. That allows easier loading /
unloading and more durability than before. d. The magnified handle has a better grip while
the inner spring smoothes movement. e. Simply pop it open to quickly refill fluids, change
the air filter and service the wiper motor as easily as with a passenger vehicle. f. The
foldable outside mirrors feature provide quick adjustment and two convex shaped mirrors,
virtually eliminating blind spots. The main convex reflects the normal view and the auxiliary
convex casts wider angles.

The K-series truck is the right truck for big cargo hauling or any other
ground construction job. One of the best reasons to choose the K-series
truck is its bed size, not too large or small, but just the right size! The
K-series truck can access the best range of loading and unloading spots.
Professional touches include : folding type stopper, easily operated catcher,
rubber wraparound rear gate chains, and rounded brim cover and wall
protection beams for security.

c. 2.9 (J3) CRDi engine d. 3.0 (JT) Diesel engine

a. 2.5 (4D56) TCi engine b. 2.7 (J2) Diesel engine

Kia engineers carefully considered what a driver needs from a working
vehicle. The new turbo charged 2.5-litre engine that pulls the K2500
TCi provides good power and economy, and the 2.7-litre J2 Diesel
engine in the K2700 offers quiet and economical performance. The

3.0-litre JT Diesel of the K3000S provides optimum power and torque,
increasing your hauling capability, while the eco-efficient 2.9-litre
common rail diesel in the K2900 CRDi is also a powerhorse. Mated
with a smooth-changing and fuel-efficient 5-speed manual
transmission, you have the powertrain to make light work of loads. For
enhanced convenience, the TACS (Time Alarm Control System)
functions as a battery saver, parking brake start warning and dimming
room lamp, and the open semihood makes maintenance simple.

a. The 2,476 cc intercooled turbo charged engine of the K2500 pushes performance

output to 94 ps (69 kW) at 3,800 rpm and 22.5 kg.m (220 Nm) of torque at 2,000 rpm,
enabling a maximum speed of up to 127 km / h. b. The improved 2,665 cc J2 engine is
a normally aspirated unit which produces 80 ps (66 kW) at 4,000 rpm and 16.8 kg.m
(165 Nm) of torque at 2,400. It generates quiet, capable and economic efficiency. c. The
most powerful engine in the range is the J3 engine (2,902 cc) in the K2900. This
powerhouse puts out 125 ps (92 kW) at 3,800 rpm and 25 kg.m (245 Nm) of torque at
1,500 ~ 3,200 rpm for maximum hauling capacity. d. The K3000S is equipped with a
2,956 cc JT engine which puts out 85 ps (63 kW) at 4,000 rpm and 18.5 kg.m (181 Nm)
of torque at 2,200 rpm, offering sufficient muscle power to haul the largest loads.

Most of all, we care about you

Kia has looked at strength from every angle, and the K-series truck
offers excellent durability and safety that you’d find on full-sized trucks
as well as in passenger cars. Comprehensive structure analysis has
led to an extended front overhang for resistance to frontal impact,
strengthened cabin, additional door impact bars, back panel
reinforcement and side cross members. Add to this a tighter cabin
assembly fit, ladder-shaped chassis frame with double square beam
and a new brake system incorporating front disc brakes.

Suspension and brakes

The 14” disk brake is activated by the enhanced
master cylinder. Improved from the previous 9” single
booster, the K-series truck obtains more capacity
with 8”+9” tandem type. Gas shock absorbers have
been applied at both the front and the rear to ensure
optimum road surface contact during cornering.

Strength and safety combined
