Kia has revealed the final images of the Kia Tasman, marking the brand’s first foray into the pickup truck market. The world premiere of the Kia Tasman is set for the Jeddah International Motor Show later this month.
The latest images showcase Kia’s commitment to innovation and challenge, presenting the Kia Tasman as proof of the brand’s thorough development and rigorous testing of its first-ever pickup model. These images highlight the truck’s sturdy silhouette, underscoring the Kia Tasman’s reliability and utility, while ensuring practicality and versatility across a wide variety of operating environments.
The Kia Tasman has been designed so owners can engage in various professional and lifestyle activities, effectively resolving the limitations found in conventional pickup truck designs. This modern pickup not only provides real utility but also enriches experiences and expands opportunities. Buyers are encouraged to ‘Dive into a New Dimension’ with the Kia Tasman, highlighted by its remarkable off-road capability and premium features that include its revolutionary design, versatility, and safety.
Leveraging Kia’s 50 years of experience in the development of special purpose vehicles, including specialized models and off-roaders, the Kia Tasman also inherits the all-terrain technology showcased in the recent Kia Telluride.
The Kia Tasman was subject to a rigorous and extensive testing and development process, which was showcased through the brand’s ‘One More Round’ campaign. This series followed the pickup as it underwent 1,777 specific tests conducted over more than 18,000 cycles of evaluation.
The series’ title ‘One More Round’ signifies the immense efforts and determination to set the highest possible standards during the Kia Tasman’s development. Taking place across a range of environments, these covered everything from off-road testing to wading, all-terrain durability, towing, on-track performance, and ride and handling.
The Kia Tasman will make its world premiere at the Jeddah International Motor Show on October 29th at 10am Saudi Time / 4pm KST / 6pm AEST. The event will also be live streamed on the Kia Worldwide YouTube channel.
