Kia Tasman pricing – Kia has confirmed the pricing for its new Tasman Ute that is due in showrooms in July this year. Pre-orders are open now and Kia says they are holding a healthy order book.
There are five models that will be available, and the Timing of arrival is Dual Cab Pickup Utes first, followed by Dual Cab Chassis models and finally the Single Cab Chassis models later this year.
The Dual Cab Pick-Up range opens with a competitive $42,990 RRP for the S 4×2 trim and tops out at $74,990 RRP for the X-Pro 4×4 flagship that has been specifically engineered for enhanced off-road performance characteristics.
All models come with a payload exceeding 1000kg but can be optioned with a lower payload to fit the Novated Lease requirements.
Performance comes from the familiar 2.2L turbo diesel engine that sits in the Sorento, Carnival and many other models. It has reasonable power of 154kW, but torque seems a bit low for a Ute at 440Nm. It remains to be seen if that is enough on the first drive.
The Tasman is rated to tow 3500 kg with a 350 kg tow ball rating.
Kia Tasman has certainly created some online chat about its styling and Kia seems to be spending a bit of marketing dollars with some outlets to craft the story that the looks are a bonus.
