The 2025 Kia Tasman boldly redefines midsize pickups, blending rugged utility with cutting-edge features for lifestyle enthusiasts and professionals alike. While it does not exist in North America, it aims at markets such as South Korea, Australia, Middle Eastern, and African markets with its unique global brand slogan, Dive into a New Dimension.
Performance Meets Efficiency
Under the hood, both models showcase Kia’s engineering prowess. The Tasman offers two powertrain options. A 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with 290 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque and a V6 with 3.5L producing 350 hp and 375 lb-ft of torque. Both are optimized for performance and deliver outstanding fuel economy of up to 45 MPG highway, a first in its class.
The Tasman uses diesel power with a 2.2-liter turbocharged engine, delivering 209 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque and comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Some markets get a 2.5-liter petrol engine with a 6-speed manual as well. The next plan for the Tasman is hybrid and all-electric models, and the Tasman has 4A, 4H, and 4L for off-road traction.
Design and Customization
Both pickups blend bold aesthetics with functional design: The Tasman has a sleek body with some curves, thus it minimizes on drag and has enhanced stability. Some of the accessories include roof racks, bed organizers and different wheels styles. The Tasman comes with options for Dual Cab or Cab Chassis and trim levels are Baseline, X-Line, and X-Pro.
Both models are also designed with comfort in mind, with spacious interiors, rear seats fold in a 60:40 ratio for additional cargo space and state of the art technology for entertainment. Features such as wireless charging, multiple climate control zones, and customizable ambient lighting make the drive better.
Safety and Technology
Kia equips both trucks with advanced safety features. The Tasman comes equipped with adaptive cruise control, lane departure assist, blind-spot detection, and a head-up display that can be customized.
The Tasman is likely to come equipped with the same features as well as Highway Driving Assist 2 and a surround-view camera.
Price and Availability
The Tasman sparkles with aggressive price tags starting at $25,000 and accompanied by Kia’s benchmark industry warranty. The price of the Tasman has not been released to the public but its rough off-road and lifestyle-oriented nature make it ideal for markets such as South Korea, Australia and Africa.
2025 Kia Tasman Release Date
According to some sources, Kia may not even launch the 2025 Tasman in the United States. But other sources claim that it is still undecided whether the company will launch the truck in America or not. Peculiarly, the Kia’s global press release on the 2025 Tasman does not mention the U. S.
