Crafted in collaboration with renowned artist Richard Boyd-Dunlop from Australia and New Zealand, the distinctive wrap, themed ‘The Path Never Taken,’ encapsulates the adventurous spirit of the Tasman. Drawing inspiration from the diverse landscapes of Australia, the wrap visualizes a journey of inspiration along the coastal and outback terrains.<\/p>\n
Karim Habib, Executive Vice President and Head of Kia Global Design, expressed Kia’s commitment to design and innovation through the Tasman’s unique exterior. He commended Boyd-Dunlop’s contribution, noting how the camouflage design reflects the essence of adventure synonymous with the Tasman.<\/p>\n
