About the ROCSTA

The Asia Rocsta is a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle built by Asia Motors Corporation in South Korea. It was available as a SUV or pickup truck. The Rocsta is derived from the K111 Jeep, also developed by Asia Motors. Because this model was cheaper than competing 4WD vehicles, it contributed to the increase in popularity of offroad racing in Korea. Asia Motors launched the Rocsta in 1990, and retired it in 1997. From 1998, the Rocsta's replacement, the Asia Retona, was sold with Kia badging. UK sales of the Rocsta ran from 1994–1997 and included both the 1.8-litre petrol and 2.2-litre diesel...
