why not do the showcase drive in the Australian outback? you went to the effort to wrap it in aboriginal art. Who's taking their Kia to America for laps?
So it comes with a 6.2L gen 3 LS V8 motor does it? I see it also comes with fast forward mode up technical hill climbs. Steering clear of this for the obvious reasons.
Will it launch in Aus. with that ground clearance? Does it have front and/or rear lockers? Please tell me it won't launch here with rear drum brakes. That rear departure angle is a worry. Also, is that the sound of any of the launch engine choices?
Good one KIA, dub a V8 over the real underpowered 2.2l 4Cyl diesel you will be offering Australia, move along nothing to see here, KIA if you want to sell it, put a decent engine in it, we are sick of these 4Cyl diesel slush boxes, you are targeting the Ranger sales numbers, FORGET IT, it will just be another underpowered 4cyl diesel, MEH.
Need to refine the shape and get rid of those flares..... Also if you are going to have it sounding like that during these "Trial" videos you better make sure it sounds like that when you sell it! That sound alone, be it from a V8 or a Turbo V6 will sell this ute like no tomorrow! Aus consumers want a modern looking dual cab with some grunt behind it, why do you think the V8 79 cruisers do so well even though the interior and exterior styling still looks like it is from the 70's? Because they sound great and are work horses!
Bullcrap,,, that’s a V8 dubbed over the top… Completely misleading audio…. My partner owns a Kia Stinger, and I wanted to join the Kia family too… But I’m thinking twice about it now…. 😠😠😠😠
Hope not, imo the handling will be the only thing going for it if no 6cyl diesel option. my first car was an old Kia and even though it felt cheap and tinny to this day it’s still one of the best handling (balance wise) and most fun cars I have driven not a performance car by any means but surprisingly good drivers cars
I own a Sorrento and my wife a Stonic, so by the time the Tasman gets here I will be due for a new vehicle. Hope the Tasman looks a whole lot better than the ugly duckling in the video and has a decent diesel donk under the bonnet for the Australian market. Kia, you have a chance now to make a real American Mussel Truck style Ute for Australia (and my next vehicle), don't spoil it, or you will launch a flop. Regards Peter.,
So its named Tasman, covered in Australian first nations art, IS releasing in Australia - but you show us video of it in America? Not very inspirational Kia.
I really want to like the new Kia Tasman but even excluding the colour scheme it’s just seriously ugly IMHO. C’mon guys, you need this to succeed, please make it appealing
With Stinger twin-turbo V6? Yes please!!
Hope it looks better when its in production
That’s why it’s called a teaser…
Hope those rectangular wheel arch guards are not staying?
ll second that
I'll third that
Roger that. Please KIA, lose the eyebrow wheel guards!!!
I'll 4th that
If you go slow mo and pause , you can see that these piece are 3D printed covers to break up the real shape of the flares.

Who's taking their Kia to America for laps?
Yeah, I also thought this was strange marketing, but at the same time; I guess rough terrain is rough terrain?
That’s not aboriginal art. It’s just distracting paint work to make it difficult to actually see what it looks like.
LOL!!
Whats with the racing v8 engine sounds?
I guess a gutless 2.2ltr diesel just doesnt cut it in the sound department..
Greetings
Well that's impressive they cal it the Tasman, there going to sell it here in Oz but the clip shows them testing it in the USA.
😂 why did they dub the sound of a v8 over it 😅
My exact thoughts...... If it actually sounded like that it should be tearing that track to pieces!
I so want one, but the Australian engines are undersized
Mate it’s Korean or some Asian crap
Yeah, not a fan of the wheel guard plastic bits. Other than that it looks the biz. What is towing capacity in Australia?
3,500 kgs

Hope Kia, sells it in Australia 🇦🇺 looks great.
It's coming to Australia - hence the name.
@@jontew3870you beat me too it. The guy doesn’t watch TV or knows where Tassie is.
Why is Kia testing an Australian ute in the US? Shouldn't the testing be done in Australia where it's actually being released?
Nice 😊🎉
Why no check it out yet 😢
Impressive

Hope Kia isn't bullshitting us with that V8 sound. Will be a major disappointment if it is not an option.
er yeh.. a gutless 2.2ltr 4 cyl is all you get
It's only a 4 cylinder diesel

It's so ugly
What happened to nice renderings ??
I was keen but not now
Seeing thst

Wow it’s a V8 awesome
No. It's a 4 cylinder
@ sarcasm mate due to the sound affects
Does it come with BumpSteer as standard?
Hope not, imo the handling will be the only thing going for it if no 6cyl diesel option. my first car was an old Kia and even though it felt cheap and tinny to this day it’s still one of the best handling (balance wise) and most fun cars I have driven not a performance car by any means but surprisingly good drivers cars
@@Harry-uo2cr I believe it’s going to have a very uninspiring 2.2L diesel.
unwatchable noise ! what crappy american focus group came up with this??!!

Not inspired by the American accent at 1:05
I don't think a 2.2 diesel sounds like that!! ..... I wish
if it looks as ugly without camo as it does with camo you won't sell one of them

Price? When? Stop teasing us all .. ha
I’m guessing 60-70K
No way the engine in that thing sounds like that - not in the production car anyway....
That does not sound like it has the engine from a Sorento. 😎

Sounds like a V6
Wheel arch’s have to go .!,
Accurate Sound Clips. We Don't.
So let me get this straight, dub over the sound with a fake V8 in a country that the vehicle isnt launching in? 😂
Under size motor with a box look 🤦♂️
Motor sounds FAKE.
The wait is getting boring KIA
Really not liking those straight wheel arches. Why would you! 🫣🤔🤔
