Obviously not (yet?) available in the US but other countries have much smaller trucks with larger beds. https://www.kia.com/dm/showroom/K2700-2022/specification.html

That plus a 2200 lb hauling capacity make them a very capable, efficient, and reasonably safe truck.

Kinda funny how much the styles differ between USA and Europe ๐Ÿ™‚. Looks like a great work truck. No space for a car seat in the back though so you would need a separate family vehicle. Which might be practical anyway!

This would satisfy my regular truck needs. But a 2200lb hauling capacity doesnโ€™t work well with horses. A single horse can easily weighs 1200 pounds.

I could see this being great for many people here. But itโ€™s also not a universal fit.

I saw a similar truck in the US the other day, a Honda Street/Acty. It was so cute!

won't be. There's federal legislation that basically says a vehicle has to be large to burn fuel like that, so you can't make a small truck unless it makes small car mileage. The idea was that the auto manufacturers would improve mileage if forced, but you know how it usually goes when politicians try to direct engineers to make bullshit physics reality.
