To develop the Tasman's high-quality features, Kia conducted over 18,000 tests covering 1,777 types during more than four years of development in various regions including South Korea, the United States, Sweden, Australia, and the Middle East. These tests included off-road specialized performance, durability, R&H (Ride & Handling), trailing stability, and water fording, among others.

Kia expects to continue its reputation as an "off-road specialist" by incorporating the off-road performance showcased in the Telluride into the Tasman. Kia plans to unveil the Tasman for the first time in the world at the Jeddah Motor Show in Saudi Arabia at 16:00 Korean time on the 29th.
