The S11 PikUp's 2.2 litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel produces 103kW and 320Nm.

The S11 comes standard with 16-inch alloy wheels and 245/75 R16 tyres with a matching spare. There’s also LED daytime running lights and dusk-sensing halogen headlights with bending function, front fog lights, rain-sensing wipers, side-steps, rear sports bar, load tub-liner, automatic rear diff-lock, reversing camera and more.

The interior provides a visually-pleasing mix of black and grey surfaces with satin chrome highlights. There’s a USB port, two 12-volt outlets, centre console air-vents for rear passengers and an multimedia system with 7.0-inch touchscreen and multiple connectivity options including Apple and Android devices.

There’s fabric-trimmed seating for up to five occupants, with the front bucket seats equipped with unusual but welcome fold-down inboard armrests. The rear bench seat is quite firm with good lumbar support, but it’s a squeeze for three adults given its relatively narrow width.

We estimate the S11 PikUp can accelerate from 0-100km/h in around 10-12 seconds. Estimated top speed is approximately 160km/h.

The S11 PikUp has an official combined average consumption of 9.3L/100km, resulting in a driving range of around 850km from its 80-litre diesel tank.
