@@Dazza-u4cLOL, the RAM propaganda sucked you in!!😂 Dodge did a press release about why they “split” the name… it was down to the Dodge name (not very well received for quality/reliability), so RAM went out on their own. Whilst both brands have changed assembly plants, both Dodge and RAM remain part of the “automotive dumpster of brands” Stellantis… and the parts and engineering are not isolated from each other, or other brands within the group.

Nice video Paul! Just a quick correction: the 6 cylinder diesel in the Genesis is an inline engine. The Mohave is still on sale in Korea, the middle east and select markets in Eastern Europe. It is indeed a V6 diesel, and the only one produced in Korea.
CEO: Ohhh, we don't want to sell too many of these vehicles as we are thinking of the environment. We understand that there is already a lot of junk on Australian roads. For this reason we have proudly engaged a group of bright 3 year old kinder kids to design this beauty for us.
The only other realistic engine option is the 3.0L V6 currently in the Mohave in Korea. It's not that efficient and not that powerful but it's gonna leave every 4-cylinder in the dust.
Saw one of these at the NY motor show in March, It was badged an Hyundai was a two door and sorta looked like an El Camino but square.... yup it wont be a big win here either...
Bring back a basic pick-up truck like the 2000 Ford Ranger. No bling bling, no YMCA-connectivity, not overweight. A simple and honest work truck for light business and a daily driver. They started at US$ 11,995 !!!
Things like the Toyota Hilux Champ, and the Land Cruiser 70. Other markets get these vehicles, but the fact that we don't is proof that we aren't as free as we believe.
We live in the country and actually want it as a full electric. When we tow it’s not far, and if we have to tow that one time a year from Brisbane we’ll use an amarok. But this would be our daily driver if they make it available in Australia and the ranger lightning doesn’t beat them to the punch
So, I’m 54 seconds in the video and already I say “YUCK” sorry Paul, it’s just a terrible looking thing but because I like you I’ll keep watching anyway
Yet the “ spy photos” are of the US model they were working on based on the Mojave and are years old, the dead giveaway is the vehicle has a Michigan number plate. The interior is a computer render based on what somebody thinks it may look like.
Looks ok, side guards can be painted same colour as rest of vehicle if needed. Will look better with 32/33 tyres. Interior looks amazing, horizontal screen is more functional than a vertical. Back of seats are different to anything currently available, thats good. All positives thus far, except if the motor is underpowered! If it is, people will still buy it and thus fund the future V6 release., which will most likely be inevitable. I would definitely look at buying one if it comes with a V6 diesel / Petrol motor. I cannot see KIA doing a Mercedes, bring a ute out and if it doesn’t sell well then discontinue production. Odds are that they’re gonna commit to this vehicle if sales are poor. So from a futurist perspective, this is a big positive for ute buyers.
SsangYong make some good vehicles… unfortunately for SsangYong, people also remember the terrible ones too!! I think people would be impressed by the quality of the new ones… much better than any Haval.
One of the first steps to designing a car for off road is moving the headlights inward away from the side of the vehicle otherwise they'll get scrubbed or broken way too easily.
in the olden days you wouldn't call somebody reversing up to a trailer an expert if they were doing it without a camera. It didn't warrant a mention at all.
Loved the review. Yes the design is new, the squre shape though allows for better customizing for off road use. I believe you missed out on marketing one of the most important features of any ute and that is the set back rear axle, for better carrying payload stability. The major manufactures have bypassed this safety feature for years. If Kia come out with that, the same as chinese utes are coming out with, it will surely make a statement to the other major manufactures to lift their game and follow suit.
Id love a modern ute with just the basics, if the price was signifcantly lower. But as we see with the hilux workmate and landcruiser, they are some of the most expensive utes to buy!
@@Richard-sl8weWhat is Kia even doing. Put in the 3.0L V6 from the Mohave. Australia has third world emissions standards anyway so they can get away with it. That will get much more sales than a petrol V6.
Not sure if it’s just the render or my imagination, but that rear door looks awfully short , be Interesting to see how much leg troop it has in the back seat. Great video
Certainly looking like there have been some body design cues taken from the Jeep Gladiator. Touch screens are great but an absolute failure on rough roads on the move. Jeep keeps all the dials and tactile switches in the centre, allowing the passenger to have control of climate and sound system whilst also allowing the driver control via the centre screen between the instrument cluster with steering mount buttons, and includes voice control. Leaf spring rear? Seriously are we still in horse and cart days? Comfort is a primary concern right up there with power, torque and range.
I'm thinking Kia will launch a V6 turbo-petrol, 12 months after the 2.2TD launch, with hybrid technology. Everybody is just speculating what the Tasman will look like, free publicity for Kia and a 'news' article for CE. It will be an updated Kia Stinger engine, in my opinion.
I was going to say that (unless the ATO changes the regulations), a 1000kg payload immediately removes it from the novated lease crowd. But the way that looks, they might not be too upset....
And the car companies play to this, 1000+ kg payload in the lower tier models, and just under 1000kg in their top spec, this way they can upsell to the lease customers without trying
Kia should go one bigger on all measurement and power. No-one in the Ute buying demographic ever bought a modest utility. I'd base it on the F100 and go one bigger.
Hey Paul I need your advise. I want to buy a truck. I really like RAM. Your opinion about Ram? Which one is recommended? RAM TOYOTA OR FORD ? Or Isuzu ?
I could be wrong but I think u mean straight 6 3 litre diesel in the genesis gv80 the v6 is the twin turbo 3.3 from the stinger. And it's petrol, originally it was advertised with the straight 6 diesel and it was the only kia/Hyundai that u could get that engine in, other wise u had to go premium genesis.
Hey Paul, I saw something of Audi releasing a ute?? Can you please provide some clarification or confirmation or anything you may know about this? ANY idea what engine config at all? Cheers!

The hype around this reminds me of when they launched the Stinger. Hope it is even half as good, but much more successful as KIA used all of their marketing on that pre-launch.
I wonder if it will have a different name in other countries. Tasman resonates in Australia. If that’s how it’s going to look, doubt it will trouble the likes of Ford, Toyota, and Isuzu.
Would live when you do your big ute test this year if you hook them all up to a dyno and see how close to the factory figures they actually are. Also, stop bashing on tritons drum brakes - they are more than adequate and not everyone has to keep up with the joneses
Agree, I believe this will happen; 12 months after initial launch with the 2.2TD. I'm thinking the engine will be updated to around 230kw and 620Nm, perhaps with some hybrid technology. The focus will be on torque, not power.

I see it all the time ute drivers racing on the highway, as soon as they see any car like an audi all of a sudden they driving slow
Interesting and very important for Kia, but it's basically just another diesel ute to add to the long list. The one that really interests me (and is getting much less attention) is the BYD 'Shark'. Now that is a fascinating and a quite radical addition... PHEV with a pretty long EV only range, lottsa tech, and at the right price (which is likely) could really inject some spice into the market. Soon. Stand by for Beijing reveal...
It looks like they took the Ranger Raptor front grill, took out the headlights and made it the dash. From the rear quarter it looks kind of Jeep Gladiator with the squared off cab and long tray. Regardless, Kia make some great cars. That front grill is going to give good airflow with a bullbar and spotties fitted. In the end, good looks or not, the main thing is reliability
These renders are way off. The test cars have the main headlights covered so we are only seeing the DRLs/indicators. I think the grille/bonnet and light package/fenders will be much more separate design elements. Reminiscent of old school 4x4s, but hyper modernised.
If that's actually what it looks like, then Ranger and Hilux have nothing to worry about
putting the unreliable ranger in the same sentence as the Hilux should be blasphemy
Yeah the hilux is terrible to actually drive

I think I'll wait for the new D Max
Guide dog owner are excited
Only the fully blind ones, the rest have been vomiting and putting dark glasses on their dogs to protect them from the ugly sight
oh so that's why it has all the ADAS features so the blind can drive it
If this is the final design then the camo needs to be included as a paint option.
It looks like they took the Ranger Raptor front grill, took out the headlights and made it the dash. From the rear quarter it looks kind of Jeep Gladiator with the squared off cab and long tray. Regardless, Kia make some great cars. That front grill is going to give good airflow with a bullbar and spotties fitted. In the end, good looks or not, the main thing is reliability
The Kia “nugget” seems more fitting
These renders are way off. The test cars have the main headlights covered so we are only seeing the DRLs/indicators. I think the grille/bonnet and light package/fenders will be much more separate design elements. Reminiscent of old school 4x4s, but hyper modernised.
Imagine buying a Korean Ute, especially when you have plenty of proven ones out there
Could it be a hybrid by any chance?
Did they design that thing with Lego!
If that's close to the final deign, I'm out.
It will not, this is more clickbait from CE.
@@Richard-sl8welook at 5:00 though, it can't be that far off
What have you guys heard about arrival of the 2025 camry? An update video on that when information comes to light is eagerly awaited.
one question ...can one fit a motorcycle on the back tray ? if not, not interested
Bring back the single cab utes with a decent size useable tray. Something that a tradesman could use not some overpriced toy a banker drives!
Just who is a Hilux a little small for?
