Cape Town Road Trip Proves Commercial Capability
After an impressive 3,000km round trip from Kempton Park to Cape Town, the DFSK K01S bakkie has demonstrated its true commercial potential. Our driver Leon put this compact workhorse through its paces, testing everything from fuel efficiency to long-distance comfort.
Performance and Capability The K01S’s 1240cc petrol engine delivered consistent performance throughout the journey. With 65kW of power and 115Nm torque, it maintained comfortable highway speeds while carrying cargo. The smooth-shifting 5-speed manual transmission proved especially efficient during long stretches.
Fuel Efficiency for Business Operations One of the most impressive aspects was the fuel consumption. The K01S achieved an average of 7.2L/100km during the trip, making it remarkably economical for commercial operations. This translates to significant cost savings for businesses, especially in current market conditions.
