The Kia Bongo 4 truck is good, still new, but Gazelle Next is better for Russia

Light-duty trucks are traditionally loved in Russia. They began to be imported to us en masse back in the early 90s, when right-hand drive didn’t bother us. Then the Gazelle appeared. She quickly gained fame as a “bucket of bolts,” but she was still taken. The secret is simple - the car paid for itself in a few years. Therefore, technology was not spared. Why, if you can get a new one? And the car, exhausted by constant overloads, was given “to the people.” They then tried to revive them. And it worked! The Gazelle was boiling, its welds were crackling, but it was pulling one and a half, or even three, tons.


Seeing that in Russia they are still buying Japanese light trucks, despite the superiority of GAZ vehicles, the Koreans have become more active. Their models were positioned as high quality and reliable. Plus they are cheaper than their counterparts from the Land of the Rising Sun. It just doesn't happen that way. For example, Kia Bongo 4, praised on the AUTO PLUS channel. Not a bad model, the manufacturer paid a lot of attention to comfort in the cabin. It’s just that we are used to using such machines for work. The diesel engine is reliable, but the fuel system does not handle domestic diesel fuel well. Repairs are simply incredibly expensive. However, you can convert Common Rail to a mechanical system - then there will be one less problem. I just don’t want to do this with a “fresh” car. He must work.
