The long-awaited budget SUV Kia Tasman for the 2025 model year was previously fully declassified. But the main detail - the price - was kept secret. This pickup surprised with its low cost and has already gone on sale.

This was reported on the manufacturer's website. The price of the Kia Tasman 2025 starts from $25,750 for the base version with rear-wheel drive and a 2.5-liter gasoline turbo engine with an output of 281 hp.

Earlier, a discussion about the design of the Kia Tasman arose online. The car looks bold and unusual. But the Korean company did it on purpose. Kia's design department noted that the new Tasman should stand out in a segment where almost all pickups may seem similar to each other.

The company conducted an internal study. It turned out that when people get to know this car in person and see the pickup truck live, their opinion of the car changes. In this case, more positive reviews are recorded.

Particularly controversial were the pronounced wheel arches that stand out against the body and are made of unpainted plastic. Kia has previously noted that these elements can be painted in the body color, which will make them less noticeable. Additionally, as an accessory, the company will offer arch covers that will change their design.
