The Kia Tasman SX+ is the mid-grade version, and should appeal to buyers who want lots of features without paying too steep a price.
Note that, at launch, this grade is a four-door Double Cab Pick-Up body style only, and a four-wheel drive (4WD, or 4x4) proposition at that.
Commencing from $62,390, before on-road costs, the ‘plus’ in the SX+ badge adds quite a few extras, like cloth/synthetic leather seats, a wireless smartphone charge pad, ambient lighting, back-seat air vents, a bedliner in the tub, a pair of 240V outlets and 18-inch alloy wheels.

You’ll also find keyless entry/start, cloth seats, adaptive cruise control, dual-zone climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, twin 12.3-inch instrumentation and multimedia displays, a seven-year subscription to connected services with over-the-air updates, under-seat storage, a reverse camera, LED fog lights, electric folding side mirrors, satellite navigation, front and rear parking sensors, rear-bumper steps, a lift-assist tailgate and a full-sized spare wheel.
On the safety front, there are as well as the extra safety of Highway Drive Assist with Lane-Change Assist, Navigation-based smart cruise control, 4x4 terrain modes, seven airbags, anti-lock brakes, stability and traction controls, an integrated trailer brake controller, trailer-stability assist, hill-start assist, downhill brake control, multi-collision braking and tyre-pressure monitors.
The SX+’s advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS) include Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) for cyclists, pedestrians and junction turning/crossing, blind-spot alert, evasive steering assist, driver attention alert, safe-exit warning, rear cross-traffic alert and traffic sign recognition.
Powering all this is Kia’s trusty 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, driving either the rear or all four wheels via an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission.
It produces 154kW of power at 3800rpm and 440Nm of torque between 1750-2750rpm, for a power-to-weight ratio of around 69kW/tonne. As such, it can scoot from 0-100km/h in 9.7 seconds.
The 4x4 system brings 2WD-High, 4WD-High and 4WD-Low modes, a mechanical rear diff lock and several off-road modes, but also has a 4A active 4x4 setting that automatically engages the front axle for extra traction as required.
In typical ute fashion, Kia fits double-wishbone suspension up front and a rigid axle with leaf springs out back.
The official combined-average fuel consumption figure is 7.6L/100km, for a 200g/km carbon-dioxide rating, while at least 1000km from a full tank on average is possible.
