CAM Kingo introduced with 6AT gearbox, greener new engine

CAM Kingo has been introduced to the Malaysian market with its latest version, the 6AT. Imported by R&A Marketing, a subsidiary of the Sendok Group, the van was unveiled at the Malaysia Commercial Vehicle Expo 2024 (MCVE 2024).

The CAM Kingo 6AT features a 6-speed automatic transmission, claimed to be the first in its class. Additionally, it is equipped with a Euro 5 2.5-liter turbodiesel engine that generates 145hp and 400Nm of torque, an increase from the previous version’s 350Nm.

The Kingo 6AT’s engine also boasts a 20,000km service interval, indicating less frequent servicing compared to other vans in the market. It is backed by a warranty of six years or 200,000km.

The 6-speed automatic transmission in the new Kingo comes with three modes: automatic, manual, and sport. It also includes special logic for smooth gear changes, high and low temperature control, as well as hill ascent/descent control.

The van is equipped with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, along with ABS and EBD. It comes with 16-inch rims and 215/75 tires.

The new CAM Kingo 6AT is available in two configurations, accommodating 15 and 18 seats. Each seat is equipped with a three-point seatbelt, and every row features USB sockets and air conditioning vents.

External standard features include power side mirrors with LED turn signals, projector headlights with DRL, fog lights, high-mount third brake light, and a rearview mirror with a demister function.

Meanwhile, the interior comprises a 10-inch infotainment screen with Bluetooth and USB, six speakers, a reverse camera, and a parking sensor.

The CAM Kingo 6AT is available at RM144,800 for the 15-seat variant and RM164,800 for the 18-seat variant.
