The first Kia pickup truck is initially expected to get a 2.2-liter turbo-diesel but may also get a twin-turbo V6
Kia is targeting Southeast Asia and Australia with the Tasman pickup, and possibly Europe too. It's unlikely the mid-size pickup will be sold in the United States due to import taxes. A standard 2.2-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel is likely, with a V6 option possible. Kia ’s model range has steadily expanded over the past two decades, enjoying increasing sales without competing in one of the market's most competitive segments: pickup trucks.
The side profile is where the Kia will make its most dramatic statement. This prototype and others we’ve seen sport a set of boxy wheel arches that dramatically protrude from the rest of the body. The bed also looks quite spacious, and while the taillights of this example are almost completely hidden, they are expected to be trick LED units. Underpinning the Tasman will likely be the same body-on-frame architecture as the second-generation Mohave SUV.
