The Kia Bongo K2500 is the best-selling model in the Bongo III range for urban delivery in Almaty. In our specification it is the LPI version: a KIA THETA 2.4 LPG engine producing 159 hp with a 71 l tank — noticeably cheaper to run on short urban routes.

The quote is based on the body, the chassis and the temperature duty.

FAQ

What licence does a Kia Bongo need?

Category B. A Kia Bongo stays within 3,500 kg gross, so an ordinary car licence is enough — no separate category C. We size the body so the gross weight stays within that limit after fitting.

What engine does the Kia Bongo K2500 have?

The LPG KIA THETA 2.4 LPI of 2,359 cc: 159 hp at 5,500 rpm, 23 kgf·m of torque, Euro 5. A 71-litre LPG tank and a 5-speed manual gearbox.

What is the K2500's payload?

Gross weight is 3,500 kg and the chassis kerb weight is 2,000 kg, leaving about 1,500 kg for the body and payload, from which the body's own weight is deducted.

Which body fits the K2500?

The maximum nominal body length is 3,000 mm. We fit insulated, refrigerated and dry-freight bodies as well as dropside platforms.

How does the K2500 differ from the K4000?

Both models share the same engine — the 159 hp KIA THETA 2.4 — and both are registered at 3,500 kg gross. The difference is the wheelbase and body length: the K2500 has a 2,615 mm wheelbase and a body up to 3,000 mm, the K4000 3,350 mm and up to 4.2 m. The actual payload of the K4000 chassis is 2,000 kg.

How much does a body on a Kia Bongo K2500 cost?

The price is made up of the body and, for a refrigerated unit, the refrigeration equipment. We quote for your specific configuration. The chassis is bought separately from a Kia dealer. Leave a request and a manager will send you a quote.

Is the chassis warranty retained?

Yes. We fit the body to the manufacturer's procedure and issue the paperwork required to register the design change.
