Kia showed a teaser of the Tasman frame pickup truck. Insider information has been confirmed: the Korean brand is developing a mid-size pickup truck on a ladder frame, which will appear in 2025 and will receive a turbodiesel at the start. The guesses about his name also turned out to be correct. The Tasman name, a reference to the Tasman Sea and the island of Tasmania, was originally proposed by Kia’s Australian division, a market that would become key for the pickup.
According to yet unconfirmed data, the Kia Tasman will share a platform with the Mohave SUV. It will be a mid-size pickup truck with a payload capacity of 1,000 kilograms, rivaling the Ford Ranger, Volkswagen Amarok and Toyota Hilux.
Probably, the Tasman presentation will take place before the end of the year, and Kia will launch sales next year. In addition to Australia, the pickup will enter the markets of South Korea, Africa and the Middle East. It is curious that in addition to this, the name was patented in Uruguay, Costa Rica and France.
