Kia Tasman 2025 review: Off-road test of highly anticipated new Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux rival!

If you're a buyer of mid-size utes – and a lot of Australians are – then the 2025 Kia Tasman is arguably the most anticipated new release of the year. Why? Well, it's pretty simple: the popular South Korean brand hasn't competed in the segment before but is now going all out with its first model, which it hopes will be the benchmark. Yep, it's looking to outdo the best-selling Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux, among other key rivals. Needless to say, the Tasman needs to get a lot right if it's to even be in the same conversation as the segment heavyweights, so it's a good thing, then, that Kia Australia has had a lot of say in its development, with local testing taking place throughout the process. The end result is a utility vehicle that offers a one-tonne payload and 3500kg braked towing capacity via a turbo-diesel engine that can be paired with a part-time four-wheel-drive system. In this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Chris Thompson gets an early taste of the new Tasman as part of an exclusive off-road test ahead of its official national media launch later this year. #Kia #Tasman #Review -- Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:56 Pricing and features 02:42 Design 05:06 Practicality 11:15 Under the bonnet 12:52 Efficiency 13:11 Driving 19:41 Safety 19:59 Ownership 20:09 Verdict -- Read Tom's full review: https://bit.ly/4djiW7i Check out our Kia Tasman hub: https://bit.ly/4fA65NL Find more utes: https://bit.ly/3jUamEO Visit our AdventureGuide: https://bit.ly/3n6sBrP -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel:    / carsguide   Like our Facebook page:   / carsguide.australia   Follow our TikTok profile:   / carsguide.com.au   Follow our Instagram profile:   / carsguideaus   Follow our X profile: https://www.x.com/CarsGuide Follow our Threads profile: https://www.threads.net/@carsguideaus Follow our LinkedIn page:   / carsguide-com-au
