Kia officially revealed RRP pricing and specifications for its much-anticipated 2025 Tasman dual-cab ute earlier this year.

The Tasman will be available in five key trim levels: S, SX, SX+, X-Line, and the range-topping X-Pro. Each trim builds progressively on features and off-road capability, with the X-Pro designed as the flagship off-road model. All 4×4 variants are powered by a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine producing 154kW and 440Nm, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and offering both part-time and terrain-specific driving modes.

Even the base S variant comes well-equipped, featuring LED headlights, a 12.3-inch digital cluster, dual-zone climate control, parking sensors, smart cruise control, and a trailer brake controller. Higher trims add more luxury and tech: the SX includes alloy wheels and terrain modes; SX+ adds premium interior touches and power outlets; the X-Line introduces paddle shifters, heated seats, and a surround-view monitor; and the X-Pro tops the range with off-road tyres, electronic locking diff, advanced camera systems, ventilated seats, and a Harman Kardon sound system.

The aftermarket has been busy preparing for the launch of the Tasman, with ARB revealing kitted-out renders and Utemaster unveiling its Centurion Canopy and Load-Lid this week.

Kia is positioning the Tasman as a direct competitor to established utes like the Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux and Mazda BT-50. By offering a strong mix of standard equipment, off-road credentials, and modern features at a competitive entry price, the Tasman aims to shake up Australia’s fiercely contested ute segment.

The dual-cab segment’s best-selling vehicle is the Ford Ranger. To compare, dual-cab 4×4 variants of the Ranger are priced between $50,880 (XL) and $80,640 (Platinum V6) – both MLP.
