Kia Tasman first drive: big boys toy

If you haven’t heard of the Kia Tasman over the last few years then the rock you are sleeping under must be quite big. But that’s alright, because as it turns out the Tasman should be able to climb over it.

The Tasman is, of course, Kia’s entry into the hyper-competitive ute segment that rules supreme in this part of the world. A traditional one-tonne ladder chassis pick up with decidedly non-traditional styling, the Tasman has already stirred up strong feelings about its existence long before it launched. Mainly because of those looks.
