Kia K 2700

If you’re a small business owner trying to keep things lean, the Kia K2700 sits right in your crosshairs. Forget about chasing Rangers or Hiluxes – this isn’t about badge bragging or double-cab flash. The fight’s with Mahindra’s Pik Up 2.2 mDi and the stripped-down Isuzu D-Max 1.9. That 2.7-litre diesel lump up front is old-school, paired only with a manual, and if you’re hunting on the used market, you’ll find eight listings between R185,000 and R349,900. That’s a hefty spread, and it says more about how these bakkies get used and abused than any trim differences. Most are the Workhorse P/U S/C – five out of eight – and that’s the sweet spot for anyone who cares more about payload than paintwork. Two variants badged 2.7D are floating up near the R350k mark, and there’s a lone crew cab at R279,995, but most buyers will be laser-focused on the affordable end. Years stretch from 2016 to 2024, and odometer readings hover around 109,000 km. These are not vehicles that spent weekends at the Vaal – they’ve been grafting, as they should. There’s no new stock, so you’ll be buying used, warts and all. But that’s precisely why the K2700 keeps popping up in small fleet lineups from Pretoria to Port Shepstone. It’s all about keeping costs down, fixing things with a shifter and a socket, and not sweating over rare parts. Nobody’s expecting comfort or gadgets; you buy a K2700 because it works, and that’s the point.
