Highlights of the Kia Tasman

The Kia Tasman is engineered for extremes. Redefining comfort with advanced tech, premium controls, spacious rear seats, and hidden storage for work or long-distance travel.

Tasman prototypes endured 18,000 rounds of stress testing on some of the world’s toughest terrain, from navigating desert dunes in Dubai, to extreme off-roading in California and Australia and deep-water wading trials in Kia’s Autoland test facility in Gwangju.
