@@varun009 K311 is minor modification of M715 and uses more local parts. A1 (KM450) is very different, and the performance is far better.

This is the Hilux D4D engine produced by Toyota, right ?

Can civilians buy these? Or are they strictly sold to government angencies?

Rebadged M715
I’m not a furry i swear but better
But the power train and electronics are fully changed by Kia's original parts

I wonder if Jeep Corporation licensed them to build this on mostly M715 sheetmetal. Or did Kia just knock it off?
license
They licensed it and got the tooling and added some upgrades.
