Introducing the All-New Kia Tasman – Built to Redefine Tough.
Kia’s first-ever ute is on its way to Motorworld, and it’s built to take on tough New Zealand conditions with confidence. The all-new Tasman combines rugged 4WD capability, cutting-edge tech, and Kia’s legendary reliability in one bold, go-anywhere package. RSP Starting from $49,990 + ORC, the Tasman isn’t just another ute—it’s a statement.
The all-new Kia Tasman is powered by a 2.2L turbo diesel engine delivering 154kW of power and 440Nm of torque, with a 3.5-tonne towing capacity that makes it ready for both work and adventure. The base model Kia Tasman TX rides on durable 17” steel wheels, features a full-size spare, rear disc brakes, and a mechanical differential lock for extra traction when you need it most. Standard LED headlights, terrain mode select, and an integrated trailer brake controller ensure the Tasman is prepared for any environment. Practical touches like the rear bumper corner step are paired with modern conveniences such as Kia Connect, smart key with push-button start, a 12.3” full digital instrument cluster, and a matching 12.3” infotainment system. Inside, manually adjustable cloth seats offer comfort without compromise. The Kia Tasman blends rugged capability with refined features, making it a standout ute for tradies, adventurers, and everyday drivers alike.
