    How this DESIGN got signed off on multiple levels I'll never know?!?

    Good luck competing in Aus with this thing. Our current supply has nothing to worry about. The BYD Shark leaves this thing for dead.

      Why all kia Tasman press cars are
      In black? To hide fugly sides

    tasman vs shark 154kw/440nm vs 321kw/650nm..... rear live axle/leaf spring vs double wishbone..... game over

    Its as ugly as F... wasn't worth the wait, will have to wait to see what the next version will look like. BYD got my attention now.

    Up there with the Cybertruck in the looks department, missed opportunity KIA.
    Hyundai and KIA are going backwards in vehicle design with some of their models

    BYD Shark is what Kia should have built … oh well, missed opportunity while BYD is struggling to keep up with orders.

    Yeah the looks are horrendous but the most concerning part is the engine is just piss weak… Some of the 500nm motors struggle to even tow 2.5-3T.

    • @charyuna
      @charyuna 32 минуты назад

      Yeh, the figures on paper are at the flywheel not at the rear wheels. From what i heard the lux with 500nm is around 380nm at the rear wheels, similar to the dmax which 450nm on paper. But to tune the lux and ranger to 500 nm at the wheels you need to upgrade the transmission, with the dmax you dont.

    I love the look. It looks like an automotive whale, exactly what these trucks are!
    You can see that Kia has a sense of humor and I am sure that there are truck buyers who will appreciate the comedy in this.
    If I was ever in the market for these, this design would win me over.

    I'm currently looking for V6 Ranger, so that is what I'm comparing it too. That said.
    Bigger dimensions, Tick
    Better driver and center screen, Tick
    Bigger interior, Tick
    240v power in cab and tray, Tick
    Bigger payload, VERY BIG TICK
    F150 style center console, Tick
    Extra Wireless Charger, Tick
    Better access to 4X4 controls with buttons, Tick
    Better Back seat storage, Tick
    Better Back seat adjustment, Tick
    I don't even mind the exterior design, but I wont be buying one because I want to tow a caravan with ease in the hills and they didn't give it a V6 Turbo Diesel.

    Should have put a twin turbo v6 petrol in this and maybe ppl won’t give a shit about how it looks. Instead they put a poxy motor in it.

      that was my thought, as a Wildtrak owner, the fact you have a 6 pot option just makes their salesmen quite excited.

    There's absolutely nothing interesting, intrigueing or innovative about it whatsever. It has a pointless party trick..a storage compartment over rear wheel. OMG wow!! Against the Shark which at the very least has a mind blowingly interesting and innovative drive train, the Tasman is DOA.

    Eeew... severely underpowered and probably overpriced when it's ready leased.
    Firstly, you nailed the review. I think you basically addressed what most of us are thinking here in Australia, that this design is not suited to our Australian style of a bold, tough looking ute!. Sometimes surprises me how the Koreans Chinese always think that their designs are gonna really hit home with the Australian market with their designs when they clearly don't get what really sells here and that's the ranger and the HiLux.
    Secondly and on a positive note, the interior design is looking pretty well up to speed with most other utes they know how to make you feel comfortable and the rear of the car is actually quite ok I guess but ultimately, this is really designed for GI Joe... more so a toy trying to look like the big boys!

  • @ChristopherJGallagher

    Military based design mode. Squared off and functional. Yes it's sure different to the car design based utes that currently fill the market. Strong, square, fufunctional, masculine, Great approach and departure angles. Good technology including a basic well tried engine using diesel. I'm signing. Shove your BYD up your Jackson, this Kia has a transfer case which the Shark doesn't. I don'tneed a racing ute, I want a diesel, transfer case, off road beast. I'll take this.

    Sadly for them, shamelessly trying to tap into Aussie culture and failing hard with that name (the worst since Toyota made the country collectively cringe twice, with the Lexcen and then the Avalon), this thing looks ugly as all hell and nobody serious about heading off road is going to buy a car made from the people who brought you kpop.
