Damn those lines……. Straight out of 1952 Soviet era

[Andrew-chfj]

"Looks are polarising" is a very nice way of saying " the thing is ugly as a mud fence jeweled with hop-toads"

[CACressida]

Thank you Kia for not planning this product for the USA. Our eyes are still bleeding from the Cybertruck sightings, and that's more than enough torture.

[Garbo]

It's great that the employ blind people, but maybe they shouldn't have them in the design department.

[jack.ws_]

Mahindra and Jeep Gladiator had a baby🤣🤣

[PaddyBoy]

BREAKING
Kia poach head designer from SsangYong.

[MaxDJsWorkshop]

When I was a kid I was always told that "if you have nothing good to say about a topic, then say nothing."

I have nothing else to say.

[JBrezicPhotography]

The 70 series looks like a super model next to this thing 😆

[dalemcmartin]

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I have to say in my eyes it’s absolutely hideous. And KIA stopped producing the Stinger, what for, this? What a disaster.

[Peter_T]

What a shame 😮 Makes the new Triton look attractive

[MecTecher]

They should’ve spent some of that excess marketing budget on some designers

[michaelvlcek]

Wow that looks like total crap. What a disappointment. I've been a big fan of Kia's design language in recent generation. This just bad.

[KingWilliamProtector]

They won't sell many as it's so incredibly ugly but the good news is, when it's heavily discounted you can afford to buy one and a massive bull bar to hide the nose.

[MrBigad]

That’s got to be one of the ugliest automobiles ever produced

[robmaz]

I’d have a Triton over this over styled Tonka truck.

[mahcooharper]

I'm a big Kia booster but the appearance is... challenging...

Still, you'd look less silly in this than a Cybertruck

[MrKainlucas]

Kia, that is an aesthetic crime against humanity. Please, take it away and never bring it back.

[imopn]

I don't mind the design but man the engine. Really needed a big straight 6 Diesel to get me interested. That little engine is more for offroading at McD drivethrough or fleets

[mattyb]

🤮🤮🤮 I was looking forward to seeing the KIA Ute, hoping it would look like their nice big SUVs... but nope

[jamesbonica]

Congrats on 500K Subs CarExpert. Y’all are awesome! Really keen to see how the Tasman stacks up against the other competitors in this class. Kia have really thrown the cat amongst the pigeons here. It’s got potential 😀😀
