2025 Kia Tasman X-Pro: The Good, The Great, But Is It Ugly ?

Video Description

Kia’s taken a bold swing with its first-ever ute — and with the top-spec 2025 Tasman X-Pro 4×4, they’re clearly not here to play it safe. From the moment you lay eyes on it, the Tasman demands attention. The design? Wild. Divisive. Impossible to ignore. But beneath the head-turning looks is a seriously capable dual-cab that’s more than just style over substance. It’s packed with off-road tech, surprisingly refined on-road, and boasts an interior that blows most rivals out of the water. Daily usability? Check. Comfort and quietness? Impressive. Off-road chops? Legit. But does it truly belong in the same league as the HiLux, Ranger, and D-Max? That’s the million-dollar question. Sal takes the Tasman through its paces — and while the engine may not top the segment in brute force, it delivers where it counts. The Tasman X-Pro isn’t just a strong first try — it’s a ute that’s ready to shake up the status quo. So… is it a serious new contender? Absolutely. Is it the best-looking ute on the market? That’s up to you. Press play to see why the Tasman might just be Australia’s boldest new ute. What is the MotorMarvel Rating?
