Kia has unveiled a more rugged concept version of its Tasman pickup, called the Tasman Weekender (WKNDR), during the Seoul Motor Show in South Korea.

The pickup, which marked Kia’s debut in this segment last year, now features an even more off-road-focused look, with changes that enhance its adventurous and aggressive appeal.

Among the visual updates are a wider body, enlarged fenders, and lime green accents that give the model a unique touch. The design also includes a custom bumper guard, integrated winch, raised hood, and a roof rack with additional LED lights and steel handles to help carry gear. The 35-inch all-terrain tires raise the truck’s height, also suggesting suspension modifications.

Despite all the visual preparation for off-road adventures, the WKNDR will not feature a more powerful engine. Kia has already ruled out using a V6 due to regulatory concerns and, according to speculation, is expected to keep the same engine options as the standard version: a 2.5 turbo gasoline or a 2.2 turbodiesel.
