KAL says a generous equipment level and “market beating price” will make the Pregio highly attractive to business users.

“Kia has a long and successful history producing commercial vehicles that now cover the full spectrum of size, payload and market sectors,” KAL said in a statement.

“The Pregio will be the first of a range of vehicles chosen specifically to match Australian market demands.”

Prices and full specification will be announced when the van goes on sale in July.
