Kia Tasman: a mid-size pickup truck with a disruptive style

The Kia Tasman is a mid-size pickup truck with a disruptive style that combines rusticity with versatility, but it only operates in one region of the world, in this case, Australia and some English-speaking markets.

However, the potential of the Kia pickup truck is enormous and a concept presented in South Korea shows how the Tasman can go far and even interest the defense sector in many places, including Brazil.

The Kia Tasman Weekender concept is a juiced-up version of the current pickup truck, with aesthetic elements and details that reinforce the robustness of the South Korean brand's mid-size pickup truck.

The squat beige look that imitates the desert reinforces this idea of ​​adventure and military operations, even though the goal is to compete with the Ford Ranger Raptor, albeit without the same performance.

With a very high suspension, side bars serving as running boards, as well as darkened alloy wheels, the Weekender draws attention, which also has BFGoodrich off-road tires.

Boxes on the wheel skirts seem to hide compartments for ammunition or some extra equipment, as do the vertical full LED headlights with fog lights, reminiscent of a large camping lantern.

The beefy bumper is enough to scare many people, and it has an integrated electric winch for the constant need for off-roading.

There is a trunk integrated into the cabin on the cargo bed and a snowboard rack on the roof, highly loaded with aesthetic elements alluding to the proposal.

Hooks in the front and rear, as well as folding foot supports on the wheel skirts, reinforce the commitment to versatility in use in hostile environments.

With huge door handles and compact doors, the Kia Tasman Weekender is ready to win over more consumers than Australians, New Zealanders and South Africans.

The Gandini Group wants the Tasman here and, if it is possible to evaluate it, we would like to try it out with a look like this…

In the trunk, a 2.2 CRDi diesel with 208 horsepower and 44.7 kgfm is enough to make the agroboy go crazy and the rural producer be pleased with the power of this pickup.

Gasoline? Kia has very powerful options to compete with a Raptor, but it seems that the Tasman Weekender is a more stylish and unusual alternative, with the good economy of diesel, of course.
