When was the Kia Bongo first introduced?
Kia began producing the first-generation Bongo Truck in 1980. The model became known in South Korea as a practical light commercial vehicle for deliveries and small businesses.

The cabover layout places the driver’s cabin above the front axle, shortening the vehicle while preserving cargo-bed length. That makes the Bongo useful on narrow urban streets and in commercial work.

Kia introduced the Ceres in December 1983 after the Bongo’s early success. The Ceres was another light commercial vehicle in Kia’s truck lineup and helped extend the company’s small-truck range.
