Kia's First-Ever Pickup Truck in Corpus Christi, TX

2026 Kia Tasman: Kia’s Bold Move into Pickup Trucks

Kia has redefined the pickup game with the first-ever 2026 Kia Tasman, combining innovation, capability, and style in one exceptional truck. Whether you're hauling, adventuring, or simply making a statement on the road, the Tasman is built to impress.

Power Meets Precision

With robust powertrain and turbocharged engine options, the Tasman delivers impressive towing capacity and exceptional performance. Designed for both rugged work and smooth cruising, it’s equally at home off-road or on city streets.

The Kia Tasman offers two robust gas-powered engines: a 2.5-liter engine with 277 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, and a 2.2-liter diesel with 207 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. Both engines pair with an 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth performance, but the diesel is also offered with three pedals and a six-speed manual transmission. The Tasman is available in rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, ready for both urban and rugged environments.

Design That Stands Out

The Tasman’s sleek yet rugged design is a showstopper. Kia has perfectly balanced utility with aesthetics, featuring a bold front grille, sharp LED lighting, and aerodynamic styling. The spacious truck bed is designed for versatility, with customizable options to handle all your cargo needs. Whether you’re carrying tools or adventure gear, the Tasman has you covered.

For added versatility, Kia offers accessories like beadlock-style wheels, side steps, ladder racks, and sport bars. Bed add-ons include options for a canopy, roof top tent racks, cargo boxes, or tonneau covers. Chassis-cab configurations cater to commercial needs.

Packed with Advanced Features

Inside, the Kia Tasman is packed with tech to keep you connected and safe:

• 12.3-inch touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.
• Dual wireless charging pages and an eight-speed Harmon/Kardon stereo
• Premium interior materials ensure comfort, while ample legroom and clever storage make every drive enjoyable.

The Tasman X-Pro: Built for Adventure

For off-road enthusiasts, the X-Pro trim takes capability to the next level. It features unique 17-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, and an electronically locking rear differential for enhanced control. With a 1.1-inch lift, it has 9.5 inches of ground clearance and can ford up to 32 inches of water. Whether you’re camping in the Texas wilderness or hitting the beach, the Tasman X-Pro has your back.
