Equipment and practical details
Kia Besta · Generation 1 · Korea · 02.1985 - 09.1997. These features occur in different versions of this generation. They are not a shared specification for every car: check the selected trim for the equipment you need and how it operates.
- Sliding side doors
- Access depends on the opening width and the condition of the rails. Check the available doors and their catches.
- Double-wishbone front suspension
- On a version with double-wishbone front suspension, identify the upper and lower arms by body code. A shared suspension layout does not guarantee parts compatibility between versions.

- For a version with rear leaf springs, confirm the permitted load and spring-pack specification. Leaf springs alone do not establish the vehicle’s payload rating.
