The first Kia Tasman has just landed in our Motorama Kia showroom and we've got to say, it's been worth the wait.
Everyone's been hanging out to see it in the metal, and now that we've had a proper look, these are the features that stood out and that we reckon are going to be a hit with buyers.
The tray on the Tasman is massive - you can fit an Aussie standard pallet in there no dramas, and with a one-tonne payload it's ready to handle whatever you throw at it.
The 240V power outlet in the tub is going to be a winner for tradies, and we're loving the handy sealed storage in the rear fender. Perfect spot to stash those bits and pieces you want locked up but easy to get to.
This thing is built to tow. With a 3.5-tonne braked towing capacity and integrated trailer brake controller, it's ready to haul boats, vans, or work trailers without breaking a sweat.
You can even fine-tune the brake force with the push of a button. Super easy.
We're really impressed by the off-road gear on this ute. Locking rear diff, low range gearing, terrain modes for mud, sand, snow - it's all there.
The ground view monitor is a game-changer too. No more guessing what's under the bonnet when you're picking your line.
Jump in the back and you'll see straight away - the rear seat space is unreal. Loads of headroom, legroom, and shoulder room.
Plus, the rear seat slides and reclines, which we've never seen before in a ute. There's even under-seat storage for keeping your gear safe and out of sight.
Small detail, but super practical. The centre console folds out into a little table - perfect if you're grabbing a bite or need to jot something down on the go.
It's the kind of feature you don't realise you need until you've got it.
Final Word: The Tasman's designed for Aussies, and it shows. Come down to Motorama Kia and check it out for yourself - this ute's ready for anything.
