Later this year Kia will premiere its much-awaited Tasman dual cab ute to the
world, with its arrival here mid next year taking the South Korean manufacturer
into new territory and an opportunity for it to gain a larger share of the Australia
vehicle market. The Tasman ute has been undergoing significant on and off-road
testing here ready for its market debut. On Monday the company showcased the
Tasman’s testing regime via a teaser video series on YouTube providing an
inside look at the ute’s development, the company stating it has conducted “1777
specific tests and 18,000 plus rounds of evaluation”, testing the vehicle
extensively in “the Australian wilderness.” Australia is expected to be a key
market for the diesel-powered Kia Tasman, with the Ford Ranger and Toyota
Hilux currently our two top selling vehicles. I’m David Berthon
