A Kia pickup truck is becoming a reality: the first photos of test mules began to leak on the Internet.
By 2027, Kia plans to introduce 14 new battery electric vehicles including a pair of pickup trucks. One is a “dedicated pickup”, and the other is a “strategic model for emerging markets”, as said by the carmaker.
Electric pickups are now in the trend. What is worth only the avant-garde Tesla Cyrebtruck! But a ‘Kia pickup truck’ sounds a bit exotic. Nevertheless, it is in the pipeline, and even two.
A camouflaged truck in the latest spy photos has signs of the Kia Mohave SUV, namely similar body panels, headlights, grille, front fenders, front doors, mirrors, and A-pillar.

A camouflaged truck in the latest spy photos has signs of the Kia Mohave SUV (Kia Borrego), namely similar body panels, headlights, grille, front fenders, front doors, mirrors, and A-pillar.
This may mean that the body-on-frame Mohave SUV (pictured) will serve as the base for the new e-pickup, although we hope the latter will be more up-to-date.
The current second-gen Mohave is available in the Korean market. It has been in production since September 2019.
