Against Ford and Toyota: Kia's new SUV has been fully declassified

The long-awaited low-cost Kia Tasman SUV for the 2025 model year has been fully declassified with all the details. The Korean pickup, with powerful engines and an unusual design, will compete against the Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux on the market.

All details were disclosed on the manufacturer's website. The design of the Kia Tasman has been the subject of much discussion. The company had previously almost completely declassified the pickup's appearance before the premiere. Potential buyers have had time to familiarize themselves with the style and share their thoughts.

The discussion revolved around the pronounced wheel arches that stand out against the body and are made of unpainted plastic. Kia noted that these elements can also be painted in the body color, which will make them less noticeable. Additionally, the company will offer arch covers as an accessory that will change the design.

Nevertheless, this design of the arches attracts attention and fits well with the geometric styling of the body. You can choose between a four-door version or a long cargo platform with a short two-door cabin.

The engines of the Kia Tasman 2025 are represented by a powerful 2.5-liter gasoline engine with 281 hp and a 2.2-liter diesel engine with 210 hp. The car will be offered with a transmission with different driving modes and all-wheel drive can be locked forcibly.
