Kia is about to start a new era in Australia. The Korean company is one of the best exponents in the automobile sector in terms of evolution and continuous improvement. We have the best example in Europe when a couple of decades ago it was considered a low cost that few rivals feared. Today it is not only a leader in key market niches, but also in electrification with the EV range. AND very soon Kia's pick ups will be a success...
as you well know Kia is expanding its model offering in certain markets. And Australia is one that could bring more sales, especially in key segments such as pickup trucks. Mitsubishi, Toyota and Ford lead in this country and the South Korean house wants its share of the pie. So they have shaped a range of pickups that could surely hurt their rivals. AND To announce their arrival they have started the teaser campaign…
The pickup that Kia plans for Australia will have a name linked to some geographical feature of this island-continent...
For now the data on the new Kia Pick Up is fair. It is true that until today we have been able to see him dressed in camouflage while he carried out validation and testing tests. But beyond that they have told us little because this is a important model and, therefore, they do not want the surprise to be broken by a possible leak. However, in recent months several renders have seen the light of day that could be basically accurate.
Leaving aside possible speculations, Kia has started the campaign for the debut of its pickup. And for this he has published a short teaser video that leaves us certain clues. One of them is relative to her name which she announces will be an accident of geography and veiled form confirms that it will be Tasman. If you watch the video and look at the 57th second you will notice that a dart hits the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand directly.
There is still no exact date for its presentation but it is known that it will be in March...
And we can go this far because The brand still reserves the exact day on which its first pickup will debut. It is known that it will be this March but they have yet to confirm this information. If we go to the official Kia website on the island-continent we can read phrases as striking as these...
«How it is done, matters.
One of the most demanding terrains in the world deserves its own.
Enter the most Australian Kia ever developed. With reliability, hard work and Australian ingenuity helping to guide the journey.
The Kia Ute needs a name to match.
There's only one way to solve this. An iconic Australian location. A group of sports legends.
But who deserves to have their name on the back of the Kia Ute?
So far we know that this pick up will have a ladder chassis that will provide you with excellent off-road capabilities to which a conventional thermal mechanical range will be added. It is also known that it will reach other countries and regions where the brand is located, but Europe is a total unknown. An electric pickup will arrive later and this could be sold in the Old Continent although everything will depend on Kia's courage. Everything will be known soon, right?
