Australian tuning company ARB has introduced a modification kit for the Kia Tasman pickup, turning it into an expedition vehicle. Exterior changes include a massive ARB Summit MKII front bumper, tubular side steps, a roof expedition rack, a pull-out kitchen, a roof tent, and a side awning. The engine remains stock — a 2.2-liter CRDi turbodiesel producing 209 hp and 440 Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The suspension has been upgraded with an Old Man Emu 4×4 setup with MT64 shock absorbers, beadlock wheels, aggressive off-road tires, a winch, a snorkel, and recovery tracks. The release date and price of the kit have not yet been announced.
