WE ADD A KIA TASMAN X-PRO TO THE 4X4 SHED FOR OUR ADVENTURES OVER THE SUMMER

- 

Following an extensive pre-launch media campaign, the Kia Tasman became the most talked-about new midsize 4x4 ute to hit the Australian market in 2025 - and not all of that talk was positive. Even before it went on sale, it was clear that plenty of folk weren't fans of the Tasman's styling, particularly the look of its front end. The Tasman isn't the first – and certainly won't be the last - new vehicle to cop such criticism, but put the looks aside and take it for a drive, and your opinion might quickly change.

With all the interest surrounding the Tasman and after completing a couple of road tests since its launch - we decided to add one to the fleet for three months to get a true feel for what the Kia ute is like to live with.
