Get ready, folks! Kia has officially named its cool new midsize pickup truck: the Kia Tasman. And guess what? It’s not just sticking to one corner of the globe; it’s going global! But hold on a sec, what about America? Well, that’s still up in the air.
So, why Tasman? Well, it’s inspired by Tasmania’s wild landscapes and the adventurous spirit of the Tasman Sea. Pretty cool, huh? Kia Australia came up with the name, and it just stuck.
While the Tasman is all set to hit the roads in Korea, Australia, Africa, and the Middle East by 2025, American fans are left wondering if they’ll get a piece of the action.
Kia’s staying mum on that front, but here’s the scoop: the Tasman has been spotted testing in California! That’s gotta mean something, right?
Kia’s keeping its cards close to its chest, though. They’re not spilling the beans about a US release. But hey, they’re definitely thinking about it. With the Tasman being compared to big American trucks like the Ford Ranger Raptor, it’s clear they’ve got their eye on the US market.
So, while we wait for more news, let’s keep our fingers crossed that the Kia Tasman will soon be cruising down American highways, bringing a taste of adventure to every corner of the country!
