Advanced technology

The Tasman is equipped with various advanced technologies, including a large touchscreen infotainment system, wireless charging and a suite of driver-assistance features. The interior is also designed with practicality in mind, offering ample storage space and versatile seating configurations.

Global launch

The Kia Tasman will launch in South Korea in the first half of 2025, followed by Australia, Africa and the Middle East. Kia South Africa aims to introduce the Tasman in the second half of 2025.

With its bold design, advanced technology and exceptional off-road capabilities, the Kia Tasman is poised to make a significant impact on the global pickup truck market.
