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. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. 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.

2025 Kia Tasman to get split safety rating
Kia Australia says the new Tasman dual-cab ute's success in the fleet market hinges on a five-star ANCAP safety rating which it expects to achieve, though the entire range isn't expected to be rated by the safety authority. Speaking with CarExpert at the prototype drive of the brand's first dual-cab ute, general manager for product at Kia Australia – Roland Rivero – said the local range will offer two front bumper variations, with the off-road bumper on the X-Line and X-Pro models less effective in pedestrian detection. '[The front bumper of lower grades] is safety related, in that the lower approach angle in effect assists with pedestrian safety, or vulnerable road user detection, and with the high approach angle the X-Line and X-Pro it's not as friendly from a lower leg perspective – so we want to give the Tasman a chance of hitting the five-star mark,' Mr Rivero said. 'Particularly because it's a non-negotiable for many fleets, we don't want to lose that potential 50 per cent of business if we don't achieve that five-star rating.' Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Tasman S Credit: CarExpert Tasman X-Pro Credit: CarExpert When asked if there will be a split rating for the Tasman similar to how the previous-generation Kia Cerato had a split rating depending on specification, Mr Rivero said the off-road-focused models will likely go unrated instead. 'At this point in time, the off-roaders will be unrated, in effect. But you can still take an S, SX or SX+ 4×4 off-road if you wanted to, and get a reasonable approach angle if you change the bar and put a bullbar in its place that will grant you a lot more clearance,' Mr Rivero continued 'We envisage some of the big fleets will do that – QFleet, Department of Agriculture, Department of Primary Industries – they do that, and they need a five-star rating from the get-go. '[Those customers] do a lot of rural driving, and kangaroos can become a problem, so they'll put the bull bars on. That's how we see the market playing out in that regard, from a bumper perspective.' While the top-selling Ford Ranger (excl. Raptor) and Toyota HiLux (excl. GR Sport) feature five-star ANCAP ratings across most of their ranges, they're also subject to older test criteria, whereas the Kia is up against the latest standards.

Supplied Credit: CarExpert The Kia Tasman is available for pre-order now, ahead of a first deliveries around July. Prices start from $42,990 before on-road costs for the entry-level S 4×2 dual-cab pickup, climbing to $74,990 for the loaded, off-road focused X-Pro. Read our full price and specs breakdown here.
