Kia Tasman ARB accessories previewed, including bullbars, canopies and more
ARB has released a series of design renders depicting accessories it may offer for the Tasman, Kia's first ute, though it has stopped short of publishing a list of items and their prices, or when they'll be available to order.
"A new era begins. Design renders that don't just show what's possible, they hint at what's next," the company said in a social media post.
Kia's rollout of the Tasman lineup will commence in July, so announcements are expected in the coming weeks.

It's also shown outfitted with off-road tyres and aftermarket alloy wheels.
Kia will offer its own genuine accessories, having already previewed the entry-level Tasman S dual-cab/chassis with a black bullbar, alloy tray, and snorkel.
On its Australian website, Kia has published an Optional Kia Genuine Accessories Wishlist. This includes:
In Korea, the range of accessories offered also includes a sliding bed and an unusual 'double-decker' canopy.
ARB is the latest company to preview a range of Tasman accessories, with others like HSP having previously detailed items like ladder racks, tray sliders, and roller shutters.

Japan wins $10 billion contract to build warships for Australia
Japanese firm Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has won a keenly fought contest to build $10 billion worth of warships for the Australian navy, beating its German rival and overcoming concerns about a lack of export experience. Strongly backed by Japan's diplomatic nand military apparatus, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries won favour with its ultra-modern Mogami frigate, which was widely acknowledged as a more advanced warship than German firm TKMS's Meko A-200 vessel. TKMS sought to capitalise on its cheaper offer and the fact that modern Japan has no experience exporting warships in its attempt to win the contest. The general purpose frigate program will see 11 new warships built to replace the ageing Anzac-class frigates, which are regarded as the warhorse vessel of the Australian navy and are being gradually retired from service. In a bid to avoid the cost overruns and delays that have marred the Hunter-class frigate program, the government has ordered that the first three general purpose frigates be built overseas and that there be minimal changes to the existing ship design. The first frigate is scheduled to be delivered in 2029, with most of the ships to be built at the Henderson shipyards in Perth. Loading A lack of support from the Japanese government was blamed for the failure to win a contract to build a fleet of submarines for Australia, a contract that instead went to France's Naval Group before being scrapped when the AUKUS pact was agreed. Tokyo was determined to correct that mistake, arguing that awarding the contract to Mitsubishi would solidify Australia and Japan as 'special strategic partners' in the Indo-Pacific, allowing their navies to operate more closely at a time of rising tensions in the region.

Hyundai won't sell cheap EVs to compete with Chinese brands
Hyundai won't be drawn into an electric vehicle (EV) price war in Australia. The Korean manufacturer currently offers six electric models in Australia – the Inster, Ioniq 9, Kona Electric, Ioniq 6, Ioniq 5, and Ioniq 5 N – the cheapest of which (Inster) starts at $39,000 before on-road costs. At the other end of the spectrum, the new Ioniq 9 is the most expensive Hyundai ever sold in Australia, with a retail price of $119,750 plus on-roads. Chinese automakers currently have the upper hand when it comes to EV pricing – BYD, GWM, Chery and MG all boast electric models cheaper than the Inster, and the same comparisons can be made across other vehicle segments. Hyundai ranked seventh for EV sales (2689 total) in Australia last year, sitting behind Tesla, BYD, MG, BMW, Volvo, and sister brand Kia. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car.

'I don't think any change in our pricing competitiveness is something that is a long-term issue,' Mr Romano told media including CarExpert at the launch of the Ioniq 9. 'When you look at Chinese EVs, the question I'd have is how long can they sustain that low price when we're all using the same materials and the same equipment?' Instead, Hyundai's next move will be to shift upmarket, as evidenced by the introduction of the Ioniq 9. While brand representatives stressed that there's no premium push on the horizon, Mr Romano says Hyundai needs to aim higher going forward. 'I think if we don't start moving upmarket, that's the risk. I think there's a number of manufacturers that are not taking that type of bold step, and they're going to regret it in the future,' said Mr Romano. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Above: Ioniq 9 'You can't stay in one place, you have to evolve, and I think this is part of our evolution. 'There's always going to be someone that's cheaper, that can build a car for less money somewhere. And if you look through the rear-view mirror, you're going to see them there. I'd prefer to look through the windshield and go forward.' Cox Automotive Australia has forecast Chinese imports will account for a 20 per cent stake in the Aussie auto market this year, up three per cent from last year. Behind Tesla, BYD and MG sold the most EVs in Australia last year, accounting for 22,499 deliveries. GWM also featured in the top 10 brands for total EV sales, though unlike its Chinese rivals it has just one EV in Australia. MORE: Explore the Hyundai showroom
