The first Kia bakkie - the Tasman - was rolled out locally this month.
Offered only as a premium leisure double cab, pricing starts at R679 995 for the LX and goes up to R999 995 for the X Pro 44.
Its levels of comfort and left-field styling makes the Tasman a very attractive alternative to the three top-selling local bakkies the Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger and Isuzu D-Max.
