Kia unveils first mid-size pickup truck in Saudi Arabia

Kia's first authentic pickup truck, "The Kia Tasman," was first unveiled at an international motor show in Saudi Arabia.

The exterior is concisely designed to emphasize the practicality of the pickup truck, and the interior is equipped with a 12.3-inch cluster and a 5-inch air conditioning display.

To improve the limitations of medium-sized pickups that make it difficult to tilt the second-row seats back, we applied angle adjustment to the second-row seats for the first time in class.

It also combines a gasoline 2.5 turbo engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission to secure a maximum output of 281 horsepower, and features artificial intelligence to determine the road surface and automatically select the appropriate driving condition.

The loading space is 1,173 liters, the highest level in its class, and can load up to 700 kilograms.

Starting in Korea in the first half of next year, Kia plans to launch in Australia, the Middle East, and Africa in turn.
