FRIDAY NIGHTS LIVE WITH ALEX & NICK

EV Channels Review

This live show delves into the polarizing design of the new Kia Tasmin truck, with hosts Alex and Nick expressing mixed feelings. While acknowledging its "fugly" front end, they also note its potential "so ugly it's cool" appeal and appreciate the availability of a standard cab. The discussion highlights the Tasmin's body-on-frame construction, impressive towing capacity (over 7,700 lbs), and substantial payload (nearly 2,600 lbs), positioning it as a strong contender in the truck market, albeit with styling that breaks from convention. The hosts also touch upon the broader trend of Kia and Hyundai adopting bolder styling to differentiate themselves. Other topics include the upcoming Highlander refresh, the Sorento vs. Santa Fe debate, and the potential impact of Scout's direct sales model on dealerships.
