The idea of a luxury sedan exterior on a pickup truck might seem unexpected, but functionality and durability remain the key factors for such a vehicle.
Based on the comments, Kia accomplished its goal. Most people hate it, but the few who like it, actually love the design. It will likely sell to a minority of buyers, but it will have its share of the market.
while, noone will ever produce an aesthetic loved by everyone- I am very impressed with how well thought-out this introduction is into the genre by kia. very nice job to kia I bet you this will be the go-to fleet truck for enterprises and local governments in a very soon time-frame. but, you know...contracts, contracts, contracts and pockets unfortunately.
And we thought nothing could be uglier than the Cybertruck! This 10x worse call it the Turd! 💩 They clearly did not understand the assignment of designing a truck.
Que decepcionante presentación creo que KIA se apuro demasiado en presentar una 4x4 sin tener definido un diseño de su tropa que se ve horrible no tiene ni forma ni un diseño bien definido al igual con esas horribles tapas que se pusieron en los guarda barro traseros y delanteros totalmente desconsonanté con sus lineas....NO creo que esta camioneta sea una buena competencia para Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan y DMax…Se quedo lejos KIA de presentar una 4x4 competitiva ….seria bueno que vayan trabajando en un segundo diseño porque este NO lleno las expectativa de su primera 4x4....
I like the Sports toolbar. Wish they offered that for the Honda Ridgeline. As far as the rest of it, it’s very ugly. I’m glad it’s not coming to the US. I was expecting a sportier version of the Santa Cruz.
I think half of these glowing comments are from the Kia design team. This truck is horrifically ugly. Such a shame because Kia have been designing some great looking cars in recent years but this thing is a monstrosity.
My God who received approval for this the ugliest design ever?. Rugged?...Noooooo, it's just horrendously wrong like if it was designed by a kid using Legos. Nobody will ever buy such a thing. I hope this design won't make it to production. Arr u f kidding?
This thing is hideous looking 😂 totally missed the mark of what a pickup truck embodies. they give you half the headlight, half the tail light, half the wheel fender flares, mass plastic front grill… no tough bulk stance… and weird proportioned a pillar front windshield design. The designer gave half the effort to this vehicle. LOL. Flop flop
I like it. Old school military styling and modern technology.
It looks like a military vehicle. I like it. 👍
I like it. Diesel and a manual transmission.... Wish we would get it in the US.
Dear Kia, please recall that thing NOW😂 it looks like Mr. Crabs' daughter😂
Love that rugged look, awesome !
Must be a BOT, this is just hideous

How to get instant attention on the street, the badass way possible 😆
The only thing that's a bit challenging to the eye is the front. Also I think it needs wider wheel arches and bigger tyres.
@ I agree. I personally wouldn’t choose it over a Ford Ranger or Toyota Hilux, but it’s an interesting effort from Kia.
It's not coming to the U.S., So don't worry how it looks.
Thats relief! They can do better by the way!
Reminds me of Sid the sloth from ice age from the front view.😂😂😂
Hey… tats a insult to the mighty Sid the Sloth 😂
I really like the design of the new Kia Tasman,it looks badass,and masculine,it's the only midsize pickup truck that i would buy.
Did a 5 years old designed this truck?
Ineos grenadier,Jeep gladiator,Toyota land cruiser 70 double cab & now this Kia tasman are my current favourite trucks.
The aftermarket will make this look good ..
Slowly growing on me... that thick eyebrow on the wheel well is questionable.

I like it. It's futuristic looking. Exactly what I expect vehicles to look like in 2024-2025.
How many BOT accounts are commenting on this? This is Butt Ugly
They need to recall this before it goes on sale.
Candidat pour un drive-test depuis le Gabon 🇬🇦
In what parallel universe do KIA designers think that producing the ugliest truck ever is a good marketing strategy
Exactly, this thing is hilariously ugly 😂
this thing need a facelift already !!!
I thought the cyber truck was the ugliest thing ever made until I saw this 😂😂😂😂
only odd looking thing are those black panels over the wheels otherwise it’s fine
I was going to say that but a maverick instead
It's aggressive looking but rats won't get it.
Fugly, and not a hybrid...
did to fired their designer. Geez!
The black truck looks like Darth Vader.
BEAUTIFUL! ANGRY! NICE AGGRESSIVE LOOKING truck but .... I like my tiny beast Revo Rocco.
Another BOT, no one likes this mess
@@Bikerbug2020 F O asshole
What happened to the concept model?
My question is, if it’s not sold in the US, why bother with showing modes capable in the US? 15:09
I would like to buy one. I have done the canning 10 times. I would do it in this truck
I like the brutality of a car. Very tasmanian devil looking. Rigid truck with a strong features in design.
Must be a BOT

The chief designer used to work for VAZ back in the USSR times, omg 😢😢😢
If and when it comes to NA it will have a different look. NA customers will not appreciate this type of design.

Holy molly it's ugly
Now that I recalled, the Aztek actually looks beautiful compare to this Kia..
Imagine driving around in this ugly thing. He says they've listened to their customers 😅
Who on earth did they get to participate in the styling clinics
I just like the front end. Of this. Not. The. Cyber truck.
Well guys, at least something unusual otherwise except Jeep all trucks nowadays kind of look the same :)
Kia’s getting a Ute? All the hype What a let down.
I like the Sports toolbar. Wish they offered that for the Honda Ridgeline. As far as the rest of it, it’s very ugly. I’m glad it’s not coming to the US. I was expecting a sportier version of the Santa Cruz.
They didn't listen to the customers on style
Real trucks have 2 doors.
KIA doesnt get it we need a single cab long bed trucks not this double cabin crap. Wake up.
Look like Tata
Kia designers were drinking on the job, I see. 🥴

That is one very ugly truck
If you haven't noticed, ugly is the new beauty...apparently
What makes it look ugly ?
😅😅😅
I agree on looks! But I think it will grow on everybody like the old Jeep even the original Hummer.
Shame. Not going to sell. Are they nuts?
Second ugliest after the cyber truck!😂
Doraemon Designer 🤔

As a 9-year DMax owner amd now a Ranger owner I dare say this is one ugly truck.
Why is it sooooo ugly?
Chat gpt could've fixed this in like 5 mins😂😂
Looks like someone designed a truck using his kids legos.

This ain’t no pickup truck. You can’t compare this to an f150,Silverado,or ram. Maybe a maverick. Putting a car engine in a truck bruh
Why are you even comparing it to a full size truck when it's clearly a mid size?
@@DaBruteBecause he is an idiot
This isnt going to sell well
😂😂 byd only numbr 1
This ain't it, Kia chief!
Does it have to be this ugly? A bunch of nonsensical hyperbole for something that hurts your eyes!
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Homer Simpson truck....😅
Nació Muer….ta
Ugly design..... Old design form
Really ugly
Ugly vehicle of the year!
😂 😅😅😅😅
Kamala Voters will love this thing! 🐫 🐪
