Even though a test mule was spotted in Mohave guise, some Kia fans believe that this vehicle was either intended to deceive the public about the true appearance of Kia’s truck or, if genuine, the Mohave-derived truck may be the smaller model that’s intended for overseas markets. According to Car Scoops, an informed but anonymous source indicated that the flagship truck will have fresh styling unlike any existing Kia model, with an angular “three-box” design and vertical LED headlamps set far apart to establish a sense of width. There’s reportedly also a pair of wide-set fog lights recessed into the bumper, which seems to be mounted quite high to accommodate aggressive approach angles for off-road driving.
Assuming the leak is accurate, there are oversized tires concealed by chunky protruding fender flares, reminiscent of Jeep’s Gladiator pickup. Compared to the rugged exterior, Car Scoop’s source says that the cabin will be sleek and minimalistic, with seating for five and the requisite dose of technology such as dual 12-inch screens and wireless smartphone charging.
Australian automotive website PerformanceDrive gives us a look at what the Kia truck’s powertrains may look like. Based on additional insider info, the newly designed pickup is expected to have three different powertrains: a turbocharged diesel 4-cylinder, a turbocharged gasoline-powered 4-cylinder, and the aforementioned all-electric version, which is said to boast an impressive towing capacity of more than 7,000 pounds.
