It's been a long time coming, but the Kia ute is finally nearly here. The 2025 Kia Tasman has already been named and teased in camouflage, but we're yet to officially find out all of the key details, including its engine options, pricing, release date, tech and safety, among others.
That said, in this Newscast video, CarsGuide Managing Editor Tim Nicholson, News Editor Dom Tripolone and Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton get together to discuss everything we know so far about the Tasman, which will rival the Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux and Isuzu DMax when it eventually launches next year.
Needless to say, expectations are high for the new Kia ute, with Australian executives promising that it will pull no punches, so expect it to be a very capable offering, with dualcab pickup and fourwheeldrive availability. But it remains to be seen if its seemingly divisive exterior design will win over fans.
