Kia’s Tasman Ute Hits the NRL Stage with a Star-Studded Ad
Kia Australia has revved up excitement for its much-anticipated Tasman ute with a brand-new TV ad, coinciding with the start of the NRL season. Packed with Australian sporting legends, the commercial gives fans their best look yet at the Tasman’s exterior and interior, solidifying its place as Kia’s first-ever homegrown ute.
A Star-Studded Commercial for a Homegrown Ute
The latest Tasman ad is a follow-up to the high-rotation ‘Kia’s Getting A Ute’ campaign from March 2024. This time, it features an all-star lineup, including:
🏉 Buddy Franklin 🏉 Darren Lockyer 🏉 Alfie Langer 🏏 Steve Waugh 🎾 Dylan Alcott
Even Buck, the Brisbane Broncos mascot, makes an appearance, adding to the Aussie flavor of the campaign. Unlike the first teaser, this ad fully showcases the Tasman, giving ute fans their first proper glimpse at Kia’s rugged new workhorse.
