The Kia Tasman has only been on sale for a few months, and early figures suggest sales have been relatively slow – but that hasn’t stopped the 4×4 community from imagining what else the platform could become. 

A new speculative design from digital renderer, Kelsonik – a creator known for realistic vehicle concepts – reimagines the Tasman into a wagon-style SUV that could sit in the same space as a Ford Everest if it ever moved from concept to reality.

The SUV concept keeps the Tasman’s broad-shouldered stance but trades the tray for a long, enclosed body. Up front, Kia’s signature tiger-nose grille remains, paired with sharp, angular headlights that give the SUV a purposeful, confident look. Sculpted flanks and a strong bonnet add to the tough, off-road-ready impression without overcomplicating the design.

From the side, the stretched roofline and large rear doors suggest a practical interior for passengers or gear. Subtle lower-body cladding and roof rails reinforce a sense of versatility, giving the vehicle an adventure-ready vibe without drifting into flashy, overdone styling.

At the rear, the concept imagines a clean tailgate with a full-width LED light bar and squared-off proportions. The design feels functional and deliberate – ready to carry camping gear, recovery equipment, or a weekend’s worth of luggage – while maintaining a tidy, modern appearance.

Though entirely speculative, the render shows how the Tasman could evolve into a more versatile, SUV-style vehicle. With its sturdy frame and rugged styling cues, it could theoretically appeal to 4×4 enthusiasts looking for a practical, adventure-ready wagon – one that blends utility with off-road presence.

Even if it exists only as a digital concept.
