Kia Tasman Dual-Cab Ute Set to Shake Up Aussie Market – Coming Soon to Tynan Kia Sutherland

2025-04-23

The highly anticipated Kia Tasman dual-cab utility is officially on its way to Australian shores, and here at Tynan Kia Sutherland, we're gearing up to welcome what promises to be a game-changer in the competitive ute segment. Launching in July 2025, the all-new Kia Tasman arrives with a robust 24-variant lineup, aggressive styling, class-leading features, and powertrain specs designed to rival the industry’s best.

Competitive Pricing, Impressive Features

Kia Australia has revealed pricing for the Tasman range, starting at $42,990 (before on-road costs) for the 4x2 base model, and topping out at $74,990 + ORC for the flagship X-Pro 4x4 variant. This strategic pricing positions the Tasman directly alongside dual-cab stalwarts like the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux, delivering tremendous value without compromise.

Here’s how it stacks up against the competition:

Ford Ranger: From $43,280 (XL Double Cab 4x2) to $77,640 (Wildtrak X 4x4)
Toyota HiLux: From $44,820 (Workmate 4x2) to $74,310 (GR Sport 4x4)

Trim Levels and Powertrain

At Tynan Kia Sutherland, you’ll find the full spectrum of Tasman trims:

S
SX
SX+
X-Line
X-Pro

Only the base S trim comes with a 4x2 option; all other trims are exclusively 4x4—perfect for those who need rugged reliability for both city driving and worksite utility.

Under the hood, every variant is powered by a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine, delivering 154kW and 440Nm, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. This combination ensures a smooth yet powerful driving experience, whether towing, hauling, or heading off the beaten path.

Versatility and Practicality for Every Need

The Tasman’s focus on utility is clear:

Payload capacity exceeding 1000kg
Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM): 3250kg
Gross Combination Mass (GCM): 6200kg
Braked towing capacity: Up to 3500kg
Integrated trailer brake controller: Standard across all trims

For buyers using novated leasing, select dual-cab variants will be available with a reduced payload option.

Need even more flexibility? Cab-chassis variants are due by August–September, with single-cab chassis models arriving later in the year.

Thoughtful Interior and Tech

Inside the Kia Tasman, you’ll find a spacious, tech-laden cabin designed with comfort and connectivity in mind. Key features include:

Dual 12.3-inch digital displays (instrumentation + infotainment)
5.0-inch digital climate control display
Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
Kia Connect remote functions
OTA (over-the-air) software updates

Premium X-Line and X-Pro trims also include:

Reclining and sliding rear seats
Under-seat storage (45L)
Folding console table
Dual wireless smartphone charging pads

With a load bed measuring 1512mm (L) x 1572mm (W) x 540mm (H), and a VDA capacity of 1173 litres, the Tasman is more than equipped for tools, gear, or weekend escapes.
