CarTell take

Driven by Simone

We have driven the Tasman. Watch the full review for the verdict.

Why consider it

  • 3,500 kg braked tow at every grade, a 7-year warranty no rival matches, and an X-Pro that out-equips Ranger Wildtrak on factory off-road kit.

What to know

  • Brand-new to utes.
  • No V6 or hybrid option at launch (the 2.2 TD is the only powertrain), and X-Line plus X-Pro ANCAP ratings are still pending.

Who it suits

Tradies, tow-rig owners and dual-use families who want HiLux capability with Kia's 7-year warranty. SX or SX+ in 4x4 dual cab is where the value is loudest.
