kia tasman engine

The Kia Tasman, a rare beast in the automotive wilds of Australia and New Zealand, typically came with a 2.4-litre inline-4 petrol engine. This powerplant churns out around 91 kW and 198 Nm of torque, modest numbers that suit city cruising and light hauling rather than drag racing or hauling a house. Expect the usual suspects in terms of reliability: a generally robust engine with occasional issues like oil leaks or head gasket wear if neglected.

Used Kia Tasmans often pop up on Tradingpost and CarShowroom, usually priced between AUD 3,000 and 7,000 depending on condition. New? Well, forget it — the Tasman has long retired from the showroom floor. For the most accurate and detailed specs, always consult the official Kia documentation or trusted service outlets like ServiceCentral.
