Kia Tasman X-Pro Tow Test | Real World Review

The Kia Tasman has finally arrived — Kia’s first ever ute, and one of the most anticipated vehicle launches in Australia. We took the top-of-the-range Tasman X-Pro for a first drive at Mount Panorama, Bathurst, and put it to the test towing a 2.5-tonne Jayco caravan. So what can it tow? On paper, the Tasman offers a 3,500kg towing capacity with a 440Nm 2.2L turbo diesel engine. But as with all modern dual-cab utes, the real story comes down to GCM, GVM, payload and practicality. In this review we run through the numbers, explain Kia’s clever onboard payload calculator, and show how the Tasman performs in the real world when towing a caravan. The X-Pro impresses with its ride, handling, and comfort while towing, and features an integrated trailer brake controller with multiple tow modes. The suspension, tuned for Australian conditions, keeps the vehicle composed both on the highway and over rough forestry roads. Off-road, the X-Trek crawl control effortlessly manages steep inclines and tricky terrain, while traction and engine braking feel intuitive and confident. Compared to rivals like the Ranger, HiLux, and Triton, the Tasman offers a surprising level of sophistication, practicality, and comfort. With a roomy cabin, high-tech safety features, and thoughtful touches like driver memory seats and reclining rear seating, the Tasman has been designed with Australian families and caravanners in mind. While its appearance may take some getting used to, the combination of towing capability, off-road ability, and everyday usability makes it a serious contender in the dual-cab ute market.
