ANCAP Safety
Tested
2025

The Kia Tasman was introduced in Australia in June 2025 and New Zealand in July 2025. This ANCAP safety rating applies to all dual cab variants excluding X-Line & X-Pro. X-Line & X-Pro variants are unrated.

Additional technical information was provided to ANCAP for 4x2 and cab-chassis variants, confirming that comparable performance to the tested vehicles would be expected.

Dual frontal, side chest-protecting and side head-protecting airbags are standard. A centre airbag which provides added protection to front seat occupants in side impact crashes is also standard.

Autonomous emergency braking (Car-to-Car, Vulnerable Road User, Junction & Crossing and Head-On), as well as a lane support system with lane keep assist (LKA), lane departure warning (LDW) and emergency lane keeping (ELK), and an advanced speed assistance system (SAS), are standard on all variants.

A full list of safety features and technologies can be viewed within the Technical Report (see download link).

Installation of child restraints in the second row centre seating position is not recommended as there is no top tether anchorage.
