2020 Kia K2500: The 5 main variants in detail

The Kia K2500 is as varied as a light commercial vehicle can get, offering buyers a staggering amount of customization options that include personal preferences in air conditioning, rear body, and even drive wheel configuration.
The Kia K2500 is driven by a 2.5L CRDi turbocharged engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. This pairing helps this van dish out 128hp and 255Nm of torque. The engine kowtows to the Euro-4 Standard, giving you an efficient commercial vehicle, both in performance and emissions.
The vehicle started off with only three variants, but that number has since grown to ten. Unfortunately for us, Kia PH was only able to give specs and numbers on five main variants, namely: Single Cab Cab and Chassis 4x2, Single Cab Closed Van 4x2, Single Cab Karga 4x2, Single Cab Dropside 4x4, and Double Cab Dropside 4x4.
The 2020 Kia K2500 has a price range of PHP820,000 to PHP1.22 million. Check out the differences between the five variants below.
