Kia’s all-electric Honda Ridgeline rival could land stateside in 2026. And no, it’s not the Tasman.
Kia is gearing up to launch an all-electric mid-size pickup truck in the United States. A mule wearing some heavy black camouflage and what seem like EV9 headlights and Santa Cruz taillights was caught testing in California. The video embedded above was uploaded yesterday on the KindelAuto YouTube channel. It shows a double-cab truck with black generic wheels and a mishmash of body panels–the front appears to be blue, the sides are gray, and the side mirrors are white.

Kia said in 2022 that it will launch two electric pickup trucks in 2026, one “strategic model for emerging markets” and “a dedicated electric pickup truck.” The prototype we see here is likely the latter.
