3,000km Journey Proves South African Capability
When our DFSK Kempton Park driver Leon embarked on a challenging journey from Gauteng to Cape Town, we knew this would be the ultimate test for the DFSK K01S bakkie. Located at 13 Albatross St, Rhodesfield, Kempton Park, 1619, the DFSK Kempton Park dealership regularly demonstrates the K01S’s capabilities – but this cross-country adventure would prove something more.

National Performance Capabilities The K01S’s 1240cc petrol engine conquered every challenge across South Africa’s diverse landscape. From Gauteng highways to the Western Cape’s coastal roads, the 65kW power output and 115Nm torque maintained impressive performance levels. The responsive 5-speed manual transmission proved especially valuable across varying terrains.
