Yontrakit Kia Motor Co. of Thailand has increased its sales targets for the Kia K2900 light truck due to strong demand. In the face of escalating diesel prices, the K2900 has become popular due to its price and payload capacity. The Kia K2900 was received well at the Bangkok International Motor Show. Thus, it prompted Yontrakit Kia to raise its sales targets for the vehicle from 800 units to 1200 units. Yontrakit Kia has urged the automaker to increase production of the K2900 - assembled in South Korea - to meet demand. So far, 500 units have been delivered.
The Kia K2900 is powered by a 125 horsepower 2.9-liter turbocharged common rail diesel engine. It is priced at 632 000 baht (USD$18 832).
