The Kia Tasman | Desert endurance test

[@WayApp]

Endurance meets innovation-Kia Tasman dominating the desert with ease and style.

[@JHat24]

"Hey guys, we're going to the desert to test our new truck and show hot it gets, so dress appropriately." Got it! "Ok, guys, you heard the marketing team, we're going to the desert, grab your darkest KIA branded polo shirts..."

[@torokun]

As much as I live the idea, I believe Hyundai/Kia missed an opportunity for the US market to really make an impact by not starting with a compact truck. Which is completely open market with huge demand.

[@fattygamer94]

This truck is competing with the likes of the Hilux and the ranger. So It's already in the compact truck category. And as of right now they can't bring it to the US because of the chicken tax. If they try to import it, they're going to get hit with a 25% tariff. Meaning the price of the car is going to be at least 25% more than in Europe and at that point it's not competing price wise with the ranger or hylix

[@palebeachbum]

@@fattygamer94 In the U.S. the Ranger and Tacoma are considered midsize trucks. There are newer smaller trucks like the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruze and they are currently the only two smaller truck offerings here. This is what torokun is referring to. The midsize market here is already saturated with offerings from various brands. Kia should introduce their own compact truck to compete with Maverick and Santa Cruze.

[@TheLancebringer]

It's the epa regulations that push trucks so large. Trucks the size of like a 99 ranger made today would have to get over 80mpg

[@user-JAL24]

I love it Kia worldwide keep it up. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ movement that inspire dream of inspire

[@KiaWorldwideOfficial]

We love you too! Thanks for the amazing support. ❤️

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

That's nice... when's the PHEV version coming out?

[@탬니TM]

Not PHEV, EREV yes

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

​@@탬니TMwe'll take either one!

[@angelocardoc]

Will the Tasman be bigger than the Santa Cruz?

[@hellotokki-kx7gv]

Yes, It's midsize pickup truck. The size is like Colorado.

[@khalidalfadli3161]

I expect it is built on a Kia truck chassis k2700

[@c.s.j6101]

made in Korea。❤

[@dannnsss8034]

Refined in Australia

[@RYUZAKIGAMER683]

Kia is best i own right know kia niro and and its very compact and useful car i like that tasman too #kia is best keep it up boys ❤

[@KiaWorldwideOfficial]

So happy to hear you're enjoying the Niro. Stay tuned for the Tasman too! 😎

[@pest_predator_nz]

Why those wheel arches though 😢

[@khalidalfadli3161]

I hope Kia tests the Tasman truck in the Amazon jungle.

[@niteshranjanjha4540]

when it is launching in BHARAT???

[@izo331]

is this the final form ?

[@kfx3907]

Made in Korea 👍

[@przemeksledziewski1973]

So is this coming to the USA or not? If it is then I hope they give it a decent payload capacity.

[@yongchu3059]

Nissan Frontier base king cab 4x4 with naturally aspirated 3.8 V6 in the US around US $32k now, reasonable price. Bring base model Tasman 4x4 with naturally aspirated engine, no turbo, in the US for $30k. I will be interested. Otherwise Frontier is a very good option.

Xe rất đẹp.

Bodo nhìn gì cũng thấy đẹp 😂😂😂😂

[@austinc5103]

Unfortunately, the Kia Tasman will not be released in the North American market due to tariffs. The US imposes a 25% tariff on imported trucks. As a result, it is predicted that the price will be uncompetitive and will not be available for sale. Despite the Tasman test car being spotted in the US, it seems unlikely to be released any time soon.

[@pstarke1066]

Like the Hyundai Santa Cruz, if Kia produces the Tasman at its U.S. factory, tariff issues will disappear.

[@sunchon9229]

They are considering building these in new factories in GA.

[@TheLancebringer]

It'll get built in the same plant the telluride, sportage, and k5 are made stateside

[@한국온라인홍보단체]

I like KIA ❤

[@khalidalfadli3161]

Kia needs to compete with Ford Bronco and Toyota Land Cruiser J70

[@huss1205]

Black T-shirts under direct sun in the desert of the UAE, genius...

Hijabs and burqas are black too...

Not a nice looking truck , keep it overseas

[@ozkskons]

The tires still looks new, the engine and the whole truck has hardly any sand. Looks like it was tested for few hours 😅

[@kdoodoo]

No jumping test?

[@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621]

If the name "tasman" is so aussie, why won't they go to the simpson desert??

[@sharathchandra50]

Hope Not a EV

[@Yormsane]

Yet another crew-cab truck.... nope.

[@malayaliyan]

Why would someone test endurance of a pickup truck with no cargo in the bed?

[@Sheepleton]

Because North America is likely the biggest market for trucks in the world and they're mostly for looks. Half these idiots commute in gas guzzling trucks and constantly cry about the cost😂

[@ashadzaman158]

You expect whatever cargo they are going to put to stay in one place? Even if whatever cargo they put in were to be buckled up, I am sure the cargo bed would be damaged one way or another...

[@malayaliyan]

@@ashadzaman158 so what's the purpose of that vehicle and these tests?

[@byrondelgado6565]

​@@Sheepletoncame to say the same.. or even in Latin America idiots think a pick up truck is a meaning of status 😅 you see dudes who think a Hilux is a luxury car

[@sunchon9229]

Because no one drives around with cargo in the lifestyle pickup truck. this is not f250 2wd longbed. This will most likely be used to commute daily and used as a ride to get you to camp sites on weekends.

[@elektrichka24]

Outdated technologies. We need hybrid phev pickups like byd shark, but from KIA!

It’s not an EV…rip

[@micktre7608]

Terrible paint job. Who's buying that.

[@palebeachbum]

It's a vinyl wrap camouflage they put on test vehicles to disguise the styling.

[@Tearflavoredcereal]

This thing is so ugly…😂
