The Kia Tasman is now available to order in Australia, ahead of first customer deliveries in July.
Kia will first launch the Tasman in dual-cab pickup guise, before adding a dual-cab/chassis in August, followed by a single-cab/chassis in “late 2025”.
Available in a single 4×2 grade and five 4×4 trim levels, the Kia Tasman is offered across five variants: S, SX, SX+, X-Line and X-Pro.
Pricing starts from $42,990 before on-road costs for the Tasman S 4×2, undercutting the most affordable Ford Ranger 4×2 dual-cab by $290.

Tasman X-Pro
Opting for the 4×4 adds $7000 to the purchase price ($49,990), while the SX steps up to $54,490 before on-roads, and the SX+ at $62,390 plus on-roads.
The tougher-looking Tasman X-Line starts from $67,990 before on-road costs, while the flagship off-road oriented X-Pro is $74,990 plus on-roads.
For context, a four-cylinder bi-turbo Ford Ranger Wildtrak costs $69,640, but the turbo-diesel V6 undercuts the top-shelf Tasman by $150 while offering significantly more power and torque.
While the Kia Tasman has a payload capacity in excess of 1000kg across all variants, for no extra cost buyers can opt for a sub-one tonne payload, allowing the ute to qualify for novated leasing.
A full rundown of the Tasman’s specifications and equipment is listed below.
