It looks like a Lego model, but it's a real car

Pickup trucks can now be more than just practical light-duty vehicles – they can be status symbols. The most famous representative of this genre is probably Ford's Ranger Raptor.

Kia is also looking to enter this segment. At the Seoul Mobility Show, the brand unveiled a highly refined version of its first-ever Tasman Weekender pickup truck.

The car is still just a concept. If Kia stays true to its current line, there won't be many changes to the production version.

Extremely rugged pickup truck

The regular Tasman, already on sale in Asia and Australia, is quite angular and could easily be mistaken for a Jeep model. But with the Weekender, Kia has taken this design to the extreme. The car looks like a Lego Technic creation.

The grille is narrower, and most of the elements around it are painted in the car's color. This looks more premium than the unpainted plastic of the regular Tasman. The Studio's bulbous grille is more striking. , for example, is more effective in the matte, sand-colored paint of the cabinet. With the imposing dome on the hood, the Weekender exudes more power.

With off-road tires and cable winch

The pickup has 35-inch BF Goodrich off-road tires. Equipped with a winch, a light bar above the windshield and a roof rack, the Tasman Weekender is ready for any adventure. Especially since Kia has given it more ground clearance. Under the hood of the studio is a 2.2-liter diesel engine with 210 hp and 441 Nm.

We don't know what it looks like on the inside – Kia hasn't released any interior photos yet. The Tasman will be sold in Asia and Australia from 2025. Kia has no plans to offer the pickup in Europe – either as a regular model or as a Tasman Weekender.
