kia ute coming to australia Page 8

Short answer: yes—the Kia ute is coming to Australia, officially teased as the Tasman.

Kia’s been testing it on local roads because, frankly, corrugations don’t lie.

It’s aimed squarely at the Ranger/HiLux crowd, with dual-cab practicality and proper work-and-weekend intentions; full specs and engines are still under wraps.

Timing is broadly pegged for 2025–2026, subject to final sign-off and production schedules.
