Kia New Zealand reveals pricing for all-new ute
Just when you thought there wasn’t enough choices for a ute, Kia New Zealand has announced pricing for one of the most eagerly anticipated new model launches of 2025.
Launched in 2000 and designed for the most demanding industrial applications, the NEF series is available in four or six-cylinder configurations, with structural or non-structural design, available in diesel and natural gas versions.
Offered with displacements ranging from 3.9 to 6.7 litres, with mechanical and electronic injection systems, the range extends to 1800 different variations with power outputs from 62 to 570hp (46 to 419kW).
Well known in the agricultural sector with OEM customers including Case IH, New Holland, Claas, McCormick, Landini and Steyr, they also supply the construction industry, powering names like Komatsu.
Said to offer the ability to customise its products to customer needs, NEF series engines are also manufactured at plants in Brazil, and Argentina, allowing the brand to fully meet the ever-increasing demand for reliable power, performance and sustainability.
In addition to the NEF series, the FPT Industrial plant in Turin also produces light engines for on and off-road applications, as well as transmissions and front and rear axles for light, medium and heavy vehicles, alongside the ePowertrain plant, inaugurated in earlier this month.
