The Kia Tasman | Wading test

[@Jtzist]

They are seriously testing this to its full potential. It is amazing how this is covered to where you can see the shape yet still clueless what it looks like.

[@KiaTasman]

I've seen some spy shots where little bits of the grille are taken off. I reckon it'll look a bit different to what people suspect.

[@oseidennis3230]

Are u in for the durability or the looks m

[@MsHasher]

I hope they bring here in the UAE 🇦🇪 I want to see the true power of this vehicle 😊

[@alonzalbrown1883]

The road/world I'd NOT ready for the Tasman! It definitely seems to live up to it's name!

[@yhhey8559]

Wading test! WoW! How many tests did you test?

[@privateaccount990]

its the best copy they have ever written

[@vcr7151]

I hope it has the diesel v6 from the mohave.

[@KiaTasman]

2.2L Diesel at launch, I believe.

[@vcr7151]

@@KiaTasman 😔nothing against downsizing but it has to have at least 210hp to be competitive.

[@KiaTasman]

@@vcr7151 I expect it'll have about 150kW/500Nm. LDV get that much out of a 2L, so I'm confident Kia will get it out of a 2.2L. That being said, the launch model is the economic model for fleets, which is where the volume sales are. A GT model will come later, possibly as the PHEV or maybe as the 3.3L TT V6 petrol Lambda engine that has reportedly been tested in California. This is all (well informed) speculation, though. I have no affiliation with Kia.

[@xhdhxydtxhxfzcbxcgfhvjcgcjvjvk]

4cyl for sure

[@KiaTasman]

@@vcr7151 Diesel will be about 150kW (210hp) while the petrol is over 200kW. There is also a possibility of an i6 engine, as it has been tested, but it'll come down to demand and gov. regulations.

[@khalidalfadli3161]

It is an idea and design by Kia Australia.

[@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621]

Well why aren't they testing it in places like the Simpson desert??

[@khalidalfadli3161]

There is a video of the Kia Tasman being tested in the UAE desert, which is similar to the Simpson Desert.​@@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621

[@Jtzist]

How many Tasman prototypes are they testing?

[@KiaTasman]

Must be quite a few. There's at least one in Australia, Europe, America, and Korea... There's probably heaps.

[@grazerokfrz5078]

300

[@Jtzist]

@grazerokfrz5078 they are not playing!!! Though i see why if you getting back in the pickup truck market(Kia made puck up trucks like 40+ years ago look it up) then it has to be rock solid.

solo por ustedes esperare un año mas !! pero ya apurenle 🤩

[@khalidalfadli3161]

Manual transmission must be provided to compete with others.

[@ontariobarrett]

Thank God They Did Not Overdub The V8 Sound Whatever It Is Could Be A 6.2 V8 Or 5.7 V8

[@fattygamer94]

It's going to be a 2.2L turbo diesel

[@dennis.lc8407]

Would love to see it as a hybrid like the sportage. Very nice powertrain😄

[@KiaTasman]

I'd love to see a Hybrid too! I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

[@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621]

How is this going to be affected by the kia boyz craze though??

[@dancer20617]

😂😂

[@khalidalfadli3161]

The engine air filter should be made of strong materials and be circular in shape like the ones found on competitors.

[@rolandoatencio4231]

Esta muy bonito pero el frontal no me termina de encantar esta algo raro 😅

[@carstudioafta]

Lo simpático es que todos los modelos que salían en Internet como supuestamente sería la tazman son más bonitos

[@khalidalfadli3161]

You did not choose the right engine air filter.

[@drew5763]

At the cost Kia would buy them at a snorkel would save a lot of dramas 😀

[@nuwunative928]

This is the Nissan frontier killer Toyota tocoma killer new all in one truck Chevy and ford can’t even compare based on prices

[@khalidalfadli3161]

Manual transmission is stronger and more reliable.

The better land for a pick up.is the Sands of the desert Atacama and the salinas de nitrato and more Walter and high of altiplano latinoamericano y roads of sourhamerica , see for believe
