2025 Kia Tasman: Australia’s New Ute Arriving Soon

The wait is almost over! The 2025 Kia Tasman is set to hit Australian showrooms in June or July, and final testing is wrapping up as pre-production models are now spotted undisguised on local roads. With Tynan Kia in Sutherland ready to showcase Kia’s first-ever ute, excitement is building among Aussie buyers.

Tasman Spotted Without Disguise

A black Kia Tasman X-Pro prototype was recently seen in Sydney, featuring all-terrain tyres, hinting at its rugged, off-road-ready nature. This is one of the first local sightings of the ute in full production form, signaling that it’s nearly ready for Australian roads.

What to Expect from the 2025 Kia Tasman

Kia’s new dual-cab ute will be powered by a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine, delivering:🔹 154kW of power🔹 441Nm of torque

The pricing is yet to be announced, but with nearly 20,000 expressions of interest, it’s clear that Australians are eager to see how the Tasman stacks up against established utes like the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger.

Mixed Reactions on Styling – But Opinions Are Changing

When the Kia Tasman was first unveiled, its bold design divided opinions. However, Kia Australia is confident that attitudes are shifting.

Kia Australia’s General Manager of Marketing, Dean Norbiato, shared insights from customer research:📢 "We're seeing a narrative shift in opinions. The more people see it, the more they warm up to its design."

With Kia’s reputation for value, reliability, and innovation, expectations are high for the Tasman to make an impact in the highly competitive ute market.

Coming Soon to Tynan Kia in Sutherland

If you’re looking for a tough, capable, and stylish ute, the Kia Tasman is one to watch. Expect it to arrive at Tynan Kia in Sutherland by mid-2025, where you can check it out firsthand.
