Kia Tasman cab/chassis pricing revealed
Cab/chassis versions of the Kia Tasman dual-cab 4×4 ute will be priced from $48,240 before on-road costs when they arrives in Australian showrooms in August.
Pricing for the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux cab/chassis rival was leaked online and posted on vehicle pricing guide RedBook, with Kia having previously announced pricing only for the Tasman dual-cab pickup body style so far.
The $48,240 list price for the four-door Tasman S 4×4 dual-cab/chassis is $1750 lower than that of the dual-cab 4×4 pickup's starting price of $49,990 plus on-roads.
And it means the Tasman S 4×4 dual-cab/chassis will cost $3490 less than the equivalent Ranger 4×4 Bi-Turbo XL dual-cab/chassis and $495 less than the Toyota HiLux Workmate 4×4 dual-cab/chassis.

It also suggests the price of the higher-spec Tasman SX 4×4 dual-cab/chassis – based on confirmed pricing for the SX 4×4 dual-cab pickup – will be around $52,740 before on-road costs, also undercutting key rivals from Ford and Toyota.
All Kia Tasmans will be powered by the same 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel outputting 154kW of power and 440Nm of torque, matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission as standard, with the entry-level S 4×4 cab/chassis claiming combined fuel consumption of 7.6L/100km.
It will also boast a 3500kg braked towing capacity, 6200kg Gross Combined Mass (GCM), 2123kg kerb weight and 1127kg payload, as well as 206mm of ground clearance on its standard 17-inch black steel wheels.
The cab/chassis is 15mm shorter than the pickup at 5395mm long overall, but the same width, height and of course wheelbase (3270mm).
Standard equipment for Tasman S model grades includes LED daytime running lights, synthetic leather-look steering wheel and gear lever trim, integrated panoramic display and second-row under-seat storage.
The Tasman has already begun arriving in Australian showrooms ahead of its official launch next month, priced from $42,990 for the entry-level Tasman S 4×2 dual-cab pickup, making it $290 less than the cheapest Ford Ranger XL 4×2 dual-cab.
Prices stretch to $74,990 before on-road costs for the Tasman X-Pro 4×4 dual-cab pickup, making it pricier than the HiLux GR Sport flagship ($74,310 before on-roads) and even the Ranger Wildtrak V6 ($74,840 plus on-roads).
Single-cab versions of Kia's first ute will be priced, detailed and released towards the end of 2025.

Norris cuts Piastri's lead with perfect win in Austria
Oscar Piastri's lead at the top of the world championship has been cut by seven points after the Australian followed home McLaren team-mate Lando Norris at a sun-scorched Austrian Grand Prix. It was redemption for Norris, who had been widely criticised after an attempt to pass Piastri at the Canadian Grand Prix earlier this month ended in a collision and his retirement from the race. The British driver scarcely put a wheel wrong across the weekend at Spielberg, taking pole position before resisting every challenge from Piastri in Sunday's race. Piastri now holds a 15-point lead over Norris after 11 of the 24 rounds, with the Briton preparing to put on a show on home tarmac at the British Grand Prix next weekend, where he will be aiming for his fourth win of the campaign. Charles Leclerc completed the podium for Ferrari, with teammate Lewis Hamilton fourth and George Russell fifth for Mercedes. Red Bull's four-times world champion Max Verstappen suffered his first retirement of the season, in his team's home race, after a first-lap collision with Mercedes' Italian rookie Kimi Antonelli. There was drama when the start of the race had to be aborted after Williams driver Carlos Sainz failed to get away during the formation lap. The race started after a 20-minute delay with all eyes on the battle up front between the McLaren pair. Piastri briefly inched ahead on lap 11 only for Norris to snatch back the lead almost immediately. It was nip-and-tuck before Piastri attempted a banzai dive at turn four on lap 20. Piastri locked his front-right tyre and came agonisingly close to sliding into Norris' car. McLaren promptly hauled in Norris for his first of two tyre changes. Piastri, perhaps as punishment, was left out on track with a flat-spotted tyre for four additional laps and was losing time, a signal that McLaren had seen enough. By the time Piastri emerged from his stop, Norris was six seconds up the road. "The feedback from the pit-wall was that the move into turn four was too marginal and we can't do that again," Piastri was told by his race engineer, Tom Stallard. Norris came in for his second stop with 18 laps remaining with a three-second lead. Piastri would stop the next time around and was then forced to take to the grass as he attempted to lap Alpine's Franco Colapinto in 14th. Piastri continued his charge and with 10 laps to go was back within two seconds. "I need some pace," Norris said. "Please help." But Piastri would not get a sniff as Norris took the chequered flag for his seventh career win 2.7 seconds clear. Norris said: "We had a great battle, that's for sure. It was a lot of fun, a lot of stress, but a nice battle. It was tricky, hot and tiring, but the perfect result as a team." Piastri said on the radio: "Sorry for my move at turn four, that was my bad." He added: "I tried my absolute best and I probably could have done a better job when I momentarily got ahead. "It was a bit on the edge, and I might have pushed a bit too far, but it was a good race and that is what we are here to do, to race each other and fight for wins." With PA

Lotus denies plans to close UK factory
British sports car maker Lotus has denied reports it is considering closing its only UK plant, and shifting to the US. Multiple publications, including the BBC, Automotive News and the Financial Times, are reporting Lotus is contemplating closing its plant in Hethel, about 20 minutes south of Norwich. Lotus and parent Geely initially refused to comment on the reports, but on Saturday Lotus put out an official press statement: 'Lotus Cars is continuing normal operations, and there are no plans to close the factory. We are actively exploring strategic options to enhance efficiency and ensure global competitiveness in the evolving market. 'We have invested significantly in R&D and operations in the UK, over the past six years. Lotus remains committed to the UK, and its customers, employees, dealers, suppliers, as well as its proud British heritage.' The company also said 'the UK is the heart of the Lotus brand', while also noting the UK is its 'largest commercial market in Europe'. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Hethel, the company's only factory in the UK, currently produces the Emira coupe (below) for sale around the world. If Hethel is mothballed, Emira production may be moved to the Volvo's plant in Charleston, South Carolina, which currently underutilised. In a call with investors last week, Feng Qingfeng, CEO of Lotus Technology, said 'localisation [of production in US] is a feasible plan' given President Trump's constantly changing tariff policy on foreign-made cars. Production at Hethel has been paused to since mid-May to manage supply chain issues related to US tariffs, and a halt in shipment of Emiras to the US. The Financial Times believes closure of Hethel could happen as early as 2026, and would see around 1300 people lose their jobs. The company's growing losses saw it already fire 270 people in April this year, following on from multiple rounds of job cuts over the last few years. Despite those job losses, Geely and Lotus said they were committed to the UK. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Moving production from the UK to Volvo's plant in the US would allow Lotus to avoid the wildly fluctuating tariff situation in the US, one of the brand's key markets. Earlier this year President Trump announced tariffs on UK-built cars would rise from 2.5 per cent to 25 per cent, but this was quickly dropped to 10 per cent, but only for the first 100,000 vehicles per year, after the two nations completed a trade deal. Founded in 1952 by Colin Chapman, the company's ethos of simplifying and adding lightness has seen it produce many celebrated sports cars, but the firm has teetered on a financial knife-edge for decades. After Chapman's death, Lotus has been successively owned by GM, Romano Artioli (who at the time also owned Bugatti), and Malaysian automaker Proton. Current ownership of the storied sports car brand is a little complicated. Chinese automaker Geely — which also owns Volvo, Polestar, Lynk & Co, Zeekr, LEVC and Smart — bought a 51 per cent of Lotus from Proton in 2017. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Geely then split the brand in two, with UK-based Lotus Cars responsible for the marque's sports cars, and a new firm Lotus Technology, based in Wuhan, China, in charge of expanding the brand into electric SUVs and sedans. In February 2024 Lotus Technology was floated by merging with a special purpose acquisition company backed by LVMH, the luxury conglomerate that owns Louis Vuitton, Moët & Chandon, Dior, Bulgari, TAG Heuer, and many others. This April, the companies announced Lotus Technology would buy out Geely's 51 per cent stake in Lotus. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Supplied Credit: CarExpert Although the brand's new EVs helped grow the brand's sales to 12,134 last year — a 74 per cent increase over 2023 — Lotus Technology has bled hundreds of millions of dollars in red ink, and its shares are down 84 per cent. Last year the 6862 Chinese-made Eletre SUVs and Emeya sedans (above) found new homes, while sales of the Emira were up 102 per cent to 5272. If Lotus does end manufacturing in Britain, it will follow other car makers in closing factories in the UK. In March this year Vauxhall closed its Luton factory, which once made Bedford vehicles, and most recently made the Opel/Vauxhall Vivaro, Citroen Dispatch, and its many siblings. Prior to this Honda closed its Swindon plant in 2021, and Ford closed its engine factory in Bridgend, Wales in 2020. MORE: Everything Lotus
