The report also reveals that Kia will develop the Tasman facelift. An all-new SUV based on the Tasman pickup could also be introduced. The Korean brand is studying a ladder-frame SUV based on the Tasman, as well as hybrid and electric versions. 


The report also claims that Kia will also produce the EV7, a new mid-size electric SUV at its Gwangju factory. The plant will also built an improved version of the Bongo commercial truck in 2028.
