ASIA MOTORS parts online catalogue

Asia Motors is a South Korean car manufacturer that existed between 1965 and 1999. It was a subsidiary of Kia Motors from 1976. The company is best known as the manufacturer of the Rocsta off-roader, which was produced from 1990 to 1997. It was cheaper than most competing cars of the same class.

Technical characteristics of Asia Motors cars

The Rocsta was available with a petrol or diesel engine, produced by Kia Motors. The petrol engine had an in-line layout and a fuel injection system. It had a 1.8-litre capacity, 77 hp output and 133 N·m maximum torque. The version equipped with this engine consumed 12.2 litres of fuel per 100 km in the combined cycle and went from 0 to 100 km/h in 16 seconds, while its top speed was 127 km/h.

The Rocsta could also be equipped with a 2.2-litre diesel engine with an output of 61 hp and maximum torque of 126 N·m. Its fuel consumption in the combined cycle was 10 litres per 100 km and it went from 0 to 100 km/h in 27 seconds. Its top speed was 133 km/h.

Asia Motors cars were generally equipped with a manual gearbox. For instance, this was the case with the Retona SUV, which was presented to the public in 1998 and was produced under the Kia brand after 2000. The manual gearbox had a positive impact on the vehicle’s fuel efficiency and its design made it easy to repair and maintain.

Asia Motors used part-time four-wheel drive in its vehicles. This differed from full-time 4WD in that it had no inter-axle differential. A rigid connection between the front and rear axles was achieved by this solution. This technology improved vehicles’ off-road capability and ensured better steerability and road-holding stability on slippery sections of road. Moreover, it helped utilise the engine power more efficiently.

Cars of this brand were often equipped with leaf spring suspension. Its simple design eliminated the need for various additional elements. This in turn helped reduce the cost of spare parts for Asia Motors cars. Leaf springs performed well on road sections with rough surfaces and they were relatively cheap to produce, which helped to reduce the overall vehicle production cost.
