The Tasman comes with Kia’s new 
vehicle 5-year warranty coverage 
and is transferable between 
vehicle owners and subject to 
the terms and conditions of the 
Warranty period(s).  Also, for 
peace of mind driving, free Kia 
Roadside Assist is provided for 
the first five years, regardless of 
the kilometres on the clock.
Overall, the new Tasman offers 
a lot of great tech and functions, 
an excellent ride and economical 
engine with superb handling, with 
the best cabin on the market.  It 
has impressed this writer so much, 
we have bought it for our new 
company vehicle.  Keep an eye out 
for future tests once we get the 
tow bar fitted and take the centre 
console on adventures towed by 
the Tasman around Godzone.
The writer is suitably impressed by 
the big 4x4 both on the road and 
off, with an excellent ride, top tech, 
and seriously comfortable cabin.
Featuring automatic rear 
electronic locking differential 
for the 8-speed to help navigate 
challenging terrain (mud, 
snow, sand, rock) via the 4WD 
Active transfer switch.
