A range of ARB accessories are now available to be fitted to the new Kia Tasman ute, four months after it launched.
Australian four-wheel-drive accessory brand ARB has unveiled a range of accessories now available to be fitted to the 2025 Kia Tasman ute.
New ARB accessories available for the Kia Tasman include the Summit MkII steel bull bar and Summit side steps and rails, which have been designed for the Tasman, along with trays and canopies from MITS Alloy.
The accessorised Tan Beige Tasman X-Pro shown in ARB's marketing material is fitted with universal items, including driving lights, a roof rack, a recovery point, an antenna, and a tyre and wheel package.
In addition, it is fitted with an MT64 suspension upgrade from Old Man Emu and a Redarc 12-volt battery system to highlight the range of accessories available for purchase and installation at ARB retailers.
ARB is yet to add versions of its other bull bars – including its Summit Sahara MkII or Zenith designs – suited to the Tasman, with the Summit MkII being the only design currently listed on its website.
Several mock-up designs were shown by ARB in June, weeks before the ute officially launched in Australia, including a version with the 'hoopless' Zenith bull bar.
Other 4WD accessory brands, such as Ironman 4x4, are yet to detail their plans for the Tasman – however Kia has offered a range of genuine accessories from when customer deliveries commenced in July.
As detailed here, genuine accessories for the Tasman include tow bar kits, tub covers, canopies, side steps, a snorkel, floor maps, and roof racks.
In addition, a range of protection bars are now available at Kia dealerships, including 'hooped' or 'hoopless' bull bars.
The 2025 Kia Tasman ute range starts from $38,010 before on-road costs for the two-wheel-drive S single-cab chassis and rises to $74,990 for the four-wheel-drive X-Pro dual-cab pick-up.
Currently, the Tasman X-Line, which usually retails for $67,990 before on-road costs, is being offered at $67,990 drive-away in all states except Western Australia, where it costs $68,990, with a 'Sports Pack' included.
Items in the no-cost 'X-Line Sports Pack' include a soft tonneau cover, a short arm sports bar, tubular side steps, and included metallic paint, with the offer valid until November 30, 2025, unless extended.
It follows a softer-than-expected response to the Tasman since its launch in July, with 2902 examples reported as sold between July and October, averaging 726 per month.
In time, Kia expects an annual sales figure of 20,000 Tasmans, which would require a monthly average of 1666 sales.
