The Kia Combi, originally marketed as Asia Motors Combi, was a minibus series built between 1983 and 2002 by Asia Motors and Kia Motors. 

History

Built first as the Asia Combi series for the launch of the 24-seater version Asia Motors AM805 / 807 Combi most copies came with the Mazda z.B. six-cylinder diesel engine with 4052 cc. This engine produced 100 hp (74 kW) at 3,600 rpm. Since Mazda was at that time cooperation partner of Asia / Kia, the model was based on the Mazda Parkway or Mazda Titan. 1990 was a facelift of the front with new twin headlights.

In 1996, after the cooperation with Mazda ended, Kia entered into a supply agreement with Hyundai for the supply of smaller four-cylinder Hyundai engines. In addition to a redesigned dashboard, there were now the more modern smaller four-cylinder Hyundai diesel engines with more power. The 3.3 L D4AL delivered 120 hp (88 kW) and the 3.9 L D4DA 140 hp (103 kW). Following the merger of Kia and Hyundai in 1999, the Asia Sub brand disappeared until the year 2000, and the model was now offered as a Kia Power Combi, as it had previously been in export markets. Due to stricter emissions regulations in the home market for 2003, the production of the Combi was discontinued without a successor on October 28, 2002.
