Kia Tasman Ute: Buyers Getting Ready for new Contender

Kia Tasman Ute Front

Kia’s Tasman ute is a new contender which has emerged to challenge the status quo in the dual-cab utes in Australia.

The Kia Tasman has been previewed, draped in a special camouflage wrap designed by renowned artist Richard Boyd-Dunlop.

Dubbed ‘The Path Never Taken,’ Boyd-Dunlop’s artistic vision apparently captures the essence of exploration and discovery, reflecting the spirit of the Tasman’s journey into uncharted territory. No doubt, this ute has a tall order ahead to take on the likes of the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger.

Inspired by his own odyssey across the vast landscapes of Australia, Boyd-Dunlop infuses the Tasman’s camouflage with the essence of adventure and the unknown. “These experiences are influential to my work,” he explains, “and the Tasman enabled me to create a continuation of this, depicting the connection, joy, and sheer sense of adventure that is inherent to Australian culture.”

As Kia prepares to unveil its first dual-cab ute in 2025, anticipation runs high among ute buyers. With the Tasman poised to take on established heavyweights like the Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux, Kia is gearing up for a showdown in the fiercely contested Australian market.

To stand out in this competitive landscape, the Tasman is set to deliver benchmark performance and capabilities. Equipped with a diesel turbo engine churning out approximately 150kW and 500Nm of torque, the Tasman promises robust power and efficiency for both on and off-road adventures. With a braked towing capacity of 3500kg and a payload of around 1000kg, it’s ready to tackle any task with ease.

But it’s not just brawn that sets the Tasman apart; Kia is also prioritizing safety and technology. With a comprehensive suite of safety systems designed to secure a five-star ANCAP rating, the Tasman offers peace of mind for drivers and passengers alike. And with its low-range 4×4 capabilities, it’s ready to conquer even the toughest terrain with confidence.

With its eye-catching camouflage and promise of adventure, the Tasman is poised to carve out its own path in the Australian automotive landscape, leaving an indelible mark on the road less traveled.
