The Kia Tasman

Tough terrain needs a tougher vehicle.
And now, it has one.

Introducing the most Jamaican Kia ever built — the all-new Tasman.
Born from grit, engineered and tested across the harshest conditions the world has to offer, the Tasman was built to thrive where others tap out.

After a gruelling, real-world durability program, it’s more than ready for Jamaica. From the worksites to the coast, Blue Mountain and everything in between.
It's a Kia made for Jamaica.

Tough and safe!

Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)*

Using radar and camera data, the AEB system senses the potential for a collision with a pedestrian, car or cyclist ahead and applies emergency braking to avoid or reduce the effects of a collision. Junction Turning & Crossing[AEB-JC], Lane-change Oncoming[AEB-LCO] and more features available.

Parking Collision Avoidance Assist - Reverse*

The PCA system provides a warning if there is a risk of collision with a rear object while reversing. It automatically assists with emergency braking if the risk of collision increases after the warning.

Available on X-Pro & X-Line grades.

Trailer Stability Assist*

Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) helps mitigate trailer sway while being towed.

Highway Driving Assist 2 with Lane Change Assist*

Highway Driving Assist (HDA) assists in maintaining a set distance and speed from the vehicle ahead and also helps to keep the vehicle centered in the lane with lane change assistance while driving on highways or motorways.

Available on X-Pro, X-Line, SX+ & SX grades.

Lane Keep Assist & Lane Following Assist 2*

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) and Lane Following Assist (LFA) helps the vehicle to remain in the centre of the lane by continuously correcting the course of the vehicle.

Rear Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist (RCCA)*

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) warns the driver with audio & visual alerts when detecting vehicles approaching from either side of the vehicle when reversing. Rear Cross-traffic Collision Avoidance Assist (RCCA) combines alerts from the RCTA system with braking to help prevent possible collisions.
