Kia PH Gives The K2500 Some Useful Updates

While Kia in the Philippines is definitely known for its cars, it also has its own utilitarian or light-duty vehicle, the K2500. For 2021, the Korean brand has given it, now with the Plus name as well, some useful updates.

The timing is perfect as the world adjusts to post-pandemic life, more and more business opportunities are opening up to aspiring entrepreneurs. Creative solutions to people’s evolving demands are also needed more than ever.

Despite several redesigns over a span of over 40 years, the Kia K2500 remains to be a dependable partner for small to medium-sized businesses as well as large enterprise. Part of this is because it offers a variety of models to suit different businesses, including those that started during these uncertain times. 

While there are options such as the K2500 Single Cab & Chassis and Closed Van variants, Single and Double Cab Dropside, since September 2020, all K2500 KARGA and KARGO units have been upgraded to KARGA Plus Protect and KARGO Plus.

Both the K2500 KARGA Plus Protect and KARGO Plus are now rated with a payload capacity of 1,235 kg. Both models also have an additional leaf spring and a ground clearance of 545 mm making it easier to traverse any road while ensuring your goods and services will safely arrive at their destination.

Under the hood, the K2500 is powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged diesel engine capable of 129 horsepower at 3,800 RPM and 255 Nm of torque at 1,500-3,500 RPM.

Configured to follow social distancing protocols, the KARGA Plus Protect comes with durable 1.5mm PVC dividers that can withstand frequent disinfecting. These can also be easily removed when you have to do a more thorough cleaning of the vehicle so you can help decrease the spread of the coronavirus and keep both the driver and passengers protected. The dividers can fit any KARGA model and can be installed without any drilling or modification on the vehicle.

In total, the K2500 KARGA Plus Protect offers a more pleasant experience with its spacious and flexible interior that can fit up to 16 people comfortably (9 with social distancing protocols). It also comes with an infotainment system and a powerful rear aircon to make sure passengers feel at ease no matter how long the drive will take.
