Kia officially announced the name of its pickup truck: Tasman, which will be launched in 2025 and will feature a ladder frame structure instead of a monocoque construction, increasing its capacity.

Although considered a global model, its initial availability will be limited to South Korea, Australia, Africa, and the Middle East. The possibility of launching in the United States is still in question due to tariff restrictions and the fact that it is not locally produced.
The Tasman will be Kia’s second body-on-frame vehicle, following the Mohave, and will directly compete with models such as the Ford Ranger, Volkswagen Amarok, and the Toyota Hilux.
While technical details have not been fully disclosed yet, rumors indicate that the truck will feature a 2.2-liter four-cylinder turbo diesel engine initially and may be offered in rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions. Single cab, double cab, and cab chassis options are also being considered.
Additionally, Kia also has ambitious electrification plans, with the promise of launching two electric pickups by 2027, but it is yet to be determined if the Tasman will receive an electric version in the future.
