Kia Tasman Price in UAE

The Kia Tasman 2025 is now available with a starting price of AED 118,290. This competitive price point puts it directly in line with key rivals like the Toyota Hilux and Nissan Navara. Higher trims such as the X-Pro go up to AED 178,000, while pricing for EX, EX-Top, and X-Line will be announced soon.

Kia Tasman Variants

The Kia Tasman is offered in five main variants in the UAE: LX, EX, EX-Top, X-Line, and the top-end X-Pro. The LX trim serves as the base model with AWD optional. As you move up the range, the trims offer more off-road hardware, added luxury features, and design upgrades. The X-Pro trim is the most advanced and off-road-ready version.

Kia Tasman Engine

Under the hood, the Kia Tasman offers two engine options. The 2.5L turbocharged petrol engine generates 281hp and 421Nm of torque, enabling the pickup to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8.5 seconds. There’s also a 2.2L turbo diesel engine that produces 210hp and 441Nm of torque, with a 0-100 km/h time of 10.4 seconds.

Both engines come paired with either an 8-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission, depending on the variant. The drivetrain is primarily 4WD, with AWD offered optionally on the LX variant.

Kia Tasman Safety

The Kia Tasman 2025 is equipped with Level 2 ADAS features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist, which are rarely found in pickups. It also offers a 360-degree camera, tire pressure monitoring, and a rear locking differential that engages automatically to improve traction. 

For families and daily commuters, the Tasman includes airbags, child lock systems, and driver-assist tools that enhance confidence behind the wheel.

Kia Tasman Features and Specifications

Built for serious work and weekend escapes, the Kia Tasman combines rugged utility with smart features. It delivers a smooth ride thanks to its double-wishbone front suspension and rigid rear axle with leaf springs. The fuel efficiency figures are yet to be fully confirmed, but early performance suggests strong real-world mileage. 

With a 3,500kg towing capacity and 800mm water wading depth, the Tasman fits well in the UAE’s challenging desert and construction terrains. Its bed is 1,512mm long, and ground clearance reaches 252mm, making it ideal for hauling cargo while tackling rocky or sandy paths with ease.

Why Choose the Kia Tasman?

The 2025 Kia Tasman is a top pick for buyers who want a smart blend of power, practicality, and modern comfort. With standout features like a 12.3-inch digital cluster, Harman Kardon sound, wireless Apple CarPlay, and off-road modes like Mud and Rock, it fits both family and adventure needs. Its modern styling, paired with serious performance, sets it apart in a crowded segment. 

With its strong feature list, top-end trim choices, and adaptable drivetrain, the Tasman is a great choice for UAE drivers looking for a reliable and well-equipped pickup that doesn’t compromise on design or ability.
