Kia Australia has slashed drive-away pricing across most of the 2026 Kia Tasman dual-cab ute range, with discounts of up to $13,000.

The biggest saving is for the flagship Tasman X-Pro, now priced at $64,990 drive-away, down $13,000.

Model New Drive-away Price Discount
2026 Kia Tasman S 4x2 Dual Cab Pick-up $42,990 –
2026 Kia Tasman S 4x4 Dual Cab Pick-up $49,990 –
2026 Kia Tasman SX 4x4 Dual Cab Pick-up $51,990 $6,500 off
2026 Kia Tasman SX+ 4x4 Dual Cab Pick-up $54,990 $11,500 off
2026 Kia Tasman X-Line 4x4 Dual Cab Pick-up $59,990 $11,000 off
2026 Kia Tasman X-Pro 4x4 Dual Cab Pick-up $64,990 $13,000 off

Likely a response to much slower-than-expected Tasman sales due to high diesel prices and a butter face.

That said, unlike the exterior, the interior is best in class, and the Tasman is one of the most fuel efficient diesel utes.

With $65k the new starting line, please comment what you're actually able to negotiate from there (further discounts, accessories, etc).

        Yeah, it's not a pretty car. But holy shit it's bulletproof. It came with a bullbar, snorkel, rubber floor (not just mats, the entire damn floor) and better suspension etc.

        He paid $40k for it, and it hasn't missed a beat.

      Ugliness aside, it's not pricey now. Most cars have a profit margin of about 10%. The X-Pro has just been discounted by over 15%. You won't find another ute with the more features for $65k.

        For a weekend ute, the BYD Shark destroys this in looks and performance. That's why people are buying it. 0-100 5.3 secs. Once you feel that you start getting the paperwork ready. Plus it's cheaper, has V2L and runs on petrol.

        • BestTechAdvisor on 16/05/2026 - 10:12

          The X-Pro has a better interior than the current Shark. Spend some time in both and it's apparent.

          Shark's real benefit is it's a proper PHEV. You'll also need to get the 2L Performance trim in order to tow 3.5t, and it still won't be as efficient as the 2.2L turbo diesel in the Tasman over long distances.

        What is the use case where this is better? Neither are a real offroader or heavy tow rig.

        They are the same soft roader, except Shark is less ugly and is an 80km range plug in hybrid.

        • BestTechAdvisor on 17/05/2026 - 10:13

          Neither are a real offroader or heavy tow rig.

          The X-Pro has a locking rear diff, low range, better angles, more clearance, more wading depth, and is lighter, so it is far better off-road.

          The Tasman can tow a full extra tonne and will do so at long distances much more efficiently, +25% payload.

          I'm happy to discuss the areas where the Shark beats (or ties with) the Tasman, but it's not off-road or towing, and anyone who knows what they're talking about will agree.

          utility vehicle where many other brands have a legenday reputation and history with a

          great national service centre/maintenance network. For their first iteration they have

          come up with a decent unit that can obviously be well improved on, but an ok start.
