Kia has released a new video showcasing the rigorous research and development testing of the Tasman pickup truck.

In the video, the Tasman is seen tackling sandy and rocky terrain in Alabama Hills, California, equipped with all-terrain tires and demonstrating its ability to climb steep hills and handle technical descents. This demonstration highlights the presence of an all-wheel or four-wheel drive system in the vehicle.
There is speculation that the Tasman shares its engine with the Telluride SUV, which features a 291-horsepower V-6 engine and 262 lb-ft of torque.
Although it is still unclear if the Tasman will be sold in the United States, the choice to conduct tests in California raises expectations. Kia has already confirmed that the pickup will initially launch in Korea, Australia, Africa, and the Middle East.
Given the high demand for pickups in the United States, it is likely that Kia will eventually bring the Tasman to the North American market, even if it takes a few years.
