Kia announced it will bring a midsize body-on-frame pickup to the U.S. market by 2030, offering conventional hybrid and extended-range electric powertrains.
Kia said the truck will provide ample interior room, off-road capability and towing capacity, and the company published a teaser image showing what appeared to be a double‑cab towing a camper, according to Automotive News; the latest statement did not confirm a pure battery-electric variant.
Ho Sung Song, CEO of Kia, said the automaker aims to sell 90,000 trucks per year and capture 7% of the midsize pickup segment by 2034. He said the truck is part of a broader U.S. growth plan to reach 1 million sales, expand Kia’s hybrid lineup and reflects a revised 2030 EV-sales expectation.
