Utemaster has rolled out two upgrades for the upcoming Kia Tasman: the Centurion Canopy and Load-Lid – both made in New Zealand, built tough for real-world use, and ready for off-road action whether you’re hitting the job site or heading into the bush.

Centurion Canopy

Made from high-strength aluminium, the Centurion Canopy is designed to take a beating. With a 200kg dynamic and 600kg static roof load rating, it is roof-top tent and roof-rack ready straight out of the box. It bolts directly to the tub’s load points, spreading the weight evenly, making it ideal for those who load up and head off the beaten track.

It features full-width side doors (the biggest in the game, Utemaster claims) for easy tub access, plus central locking with concealed latches for added security. Rain channels and tight seals keep gear dry in wet conditions, and the canopy’s contoured lines match the Tasman’s factory look. It comes with a five-year warranty.

Load-Lid

For those who prefer a lid over a canopy, the Load-Lid is a sleek, heavy-duty option. It’s weather-sealed, monsoon-proof, and comes with a reinforced locking system to keep your gear safe. Built specifically to suit the Tasman’s tub, it delivers a snug, clean fit. Like the canopy, it’s covered by a five-year warranty.

These Utemaster products are part of a growing range of gear for the soon-to-arrive Kia Tasman, which is set to shake up the dual-cab segment. ARB has also jumped on board, recently revealing renders for off-road goodies like suspension, bull bars and recovery gear.

The Kia Tasman will launch in Australia next month.
